DROP-IN FAQ
WHAT IS REFORMER PILATES?
In a Reformer Pilates class, you’ll use a specialised machine called a Reformer, which uses springs, pulleys, and a moving carriage to add resistance to your movements. Classes are low-impact but highly effective – designed to build core strength, improve posture, increase flexibility, and support overall body alignment.
Expect slow, controlled exercises that challenge stability and balance, with a focus on precision and breath. You’ll be guided through a full-body workout that can be adapted to your individual level, whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned mover.
Our classes are intentionally small to allow for personal attention and tailored support, so you can move confidently and safely throughout. Most people leave feeling stronger, longer, and more connected to their bodies.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAT & REFORMER PILATES?
Both mat and Reformer Pilates are based on the same core principles – control, alignment, breath, and precision – but they use different tools to challenge the body.
Mat Pilates is done on the floor using your body weight for resistance. It’s a great way to build core strength and body awareness, but it can be more demanding for beginners because there’s less support.
Reformer Pilates uses a spring-loaded machine to create resistance and assistance. The moving carriage, adjustable springs, and straps allow for a wider range of motion and more variety in exercises. It’s incredibly effective for strength, flexibility, and alignment – and the support from the machine often makes it more accessible, especially for beginners or those with injuries.
If you’ve done mat Pilates before, you’ll already be familiar with many of the foundational movements and principles, which can definitely help. That said, Reformer Pilates is its own experience – so be ready to discover new muscles, new challenges, and a fresh way to connect with your body.
DO I NEED PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO JOIN A CLASS?
Not at all! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, our classes are designed to be accessible to everyone. Our instructors will guide you through each move, so you’ll feel confident and supported no matter your experience level.
HOW DO I GET THERE?
You can find us on Google Maps! Our property is accessible by car/tuktuk/bike/by foot if you’re locally based.
If you’re coming from Hiriketiya then your journey will take appoximately 20 minutes by TukTuk (and probably less time by car or bike).
When you arrive, head straight to the front desk and our team will be happy to sign you in and point you in the right direction.
WHAT DO I BRING?
Just bring yourself and a bottle of water to stay hydrated—everything else is provided! We’ve got all the equipment you need to enjoy your session.
There are free water refill stations on the property. We also sell water in our restaurant if you forget.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Wear something lightweight and comfortable that allows you to move freely. Since Pilates can get a bit sweaty, choose clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident while you stretch, strengthen, and flow!
We don’t require you to wear Pilates socks – barefoot is fine with us.
