How to Choose a Pilates Instructor

Filed under: Energy, Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Wellicious Clothing — Wellicious @ 11:56 am

If you want to feel the benefits of Pilates, the complete work-out for mind, body and spirit, once you’ve considered your Pilates clothing, it’s vital that you find the right instructor and the right class for you.

Look for carefully designed sequences of exercises providing quality over quantity. For each exercise, there should only be a few, careful repetitions.

Your class should also follow strict safety guidelines, so you feel challenged but not pushed beyond your limits.

Look for a teacher who has completed 450 hours of training and is registered with an official organisation. After all, this discipline is not something which can be taught in a few hours, so how can someone have mastered it in a short time? Ask carefully about their experience qualifications.

Other things to look for include clear directions, individual attention when you need it and a willingness to answer your questions. A familiarity with various health conditions may also be helpful, as will an eagerness to keep abreast of industry news and developments.

Finally, as with any sort of fitness instructor, find someone you get on with personally, and who creates a positive, friendly atmosphere which is right for you.

At Wellicious, we have a great range of gorgeous yoga clothes and Pilates clothing, to make you feel ready for action whatever class you choose. You’ll love the quality textiles we use for our Pilates and yoga clothes, the gorgeous colours - and our prices!

Pilates Clothing: Preparing for your first class

Filed under: Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Wellicious Clothing — Wellicious @ 4:39 pm

If you’re walking into a Pilates studio for the first time, it can seem slightly daunting. But you’ll soon be loving it.

You don’t need to bring much with you to the studio for your first class. All necessary equipment will be provided. However, many people like to use their own mat, so you may want to do the same eventually. For your first class, all you need to take is a water bottle, having ensured you are well hydrated before you begin.

As for Pilates clothing you need to be able to move and stretch. Clothes should be loose rather than baggy, allowing your teacher to see how well your bones are aligned and how well your muscles are engaged. You could start off by wearing regular loungewear, such as tracksuit bottoms, leggings and T-shirts. No fancy footwear is needed as you’ll probably be barefoot. Avoid long necklaces, dangling bracelets and belts. Keep your hair tied back if it is long, and away from your face.

Finally, some people are sensitive to perfumes and strongly scented deodorants, so increasingly studios are asking students to avoid wearing heavy fragrances in the studio.

At Wellicious, we offer a great selection of loungwear and Pilates clothing made from high quality fabrics. Our clothes are ideal for your class or for when you just want to feel super-comfortable at home.

Pilates and yoga wear for all ability levels

Filed under: Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Wellicious Clothing, Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 1:35 pm

The great thing about yoga and Pilates is that absolutely anyone can get involved. Beginner classes cater to all fitness levels, and in many studios a typical class includes all kinds of people from vastly different walks of life. There might be a grandmother who wants to stay active and enjoy better joint health and mobility, a young mother getting back into shape after childbirth, a few office-workers taking time out from the high-stress jobs, and a rugby player who wants to improve their game. So many different people can benefit in different ways! Pilates and yoga wear isn’t just for super-flexible, super-strong experts. Anyone can feel better and look better in stylish, colourful clothing designed for relaxation and freedom of movement. Our designs make yoga and Pilates sessions more comfortable and more fun for everyone, not just experienced and dedicated practitioners.

If you find that the yoga or Pilates clothing you usually wear is too hot, too restrictive, or not quite right in any way, that will have a negative impact on your experience. If nothing else, it’s distracting at a time when you should be free of worries and niggling irritations. Switch to better designed yoga wear and you might see a marked improvement. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been going twice a week for a decade or you’re just starting out. We believe that attractive, intelligent yoga and Pilates clothing can help anyone get more from their time in the studio. Try our lovely range and you’ll probably agree!

Yoga wear doesn’t have to be figure-hugging

Filed under: Pilates Clothing, Wellicious Clothing, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 5:48 pm

At Wellicious, we believe that loungewear and workout clothing should be comfortable and look stunning too. However, that doesn’t mean it has to be figure-hugging. While many people like to show off their hard work in the yoga studio with a sheer look, not everyone is comfortable with that. We understand that others prefer looser, less revealing designs.

Naturally, we have some gorgeous products to suit everyone. Yoga wear doesn’t have to hug the body. Take our flare pants for example. They’re inspired more by harem pants than leggings, and are perfect for anyone who’d rather not slip into a pair of skin-tight pants for a yoga or Pilates session. There is no need to resort to baggy, shapeless sweat pants when you can choose these. Sometimes loose clothing is also cooler to wear and less sweaty. It allows for greater airflow, so if you tend to feel too hot in your normal yoga wear, picking looser garments can really help. Or you can opt for shorts, a sleeveless top, or cooler, summer materials for warm-weather classes.

Loungewear is all about choice. That’s why we have so many different designs in so many different fantastic colours. It’s up to you to decide whether you want loose or figure-hugging clothing, long sleeved or short, something really funky or something low-key. No matter what kind of clothing you like to wear the most, there will be something in the catalogue you love, and that will make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy when you wear it.

Yoga clothing and Pilates clothing

Filed under: Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Uncategorized, Yoga, Yoga Clothing — Wellicious @ 1:44 pm

Yoga and Pilates are different disciplines. Pilates was developed relatively recently, but it shares something of the philosophy of yoga and many of the poses. In general, classes are based more around strength and flexibility, while yoga sessions can also include breathing exercises and elements of meditation.

Yoga clothing and Pilates clothing are very similar. They both need to be stretchy and non-restrictive, and designed for maximum comfort in a range of different positions. In some cases Pilates classes involve more movement, with greater repetition rather than holding a single pose for a long time. This can mean that practitioners get a little warmer so cooler clothes can be helpful.However, there is a great deal of variation from class to class and instructor to instructor, so the best clothes for you will depend on your special requirements. In almost all cases, yoga clothing is just fine for Pilates and vice-versa. Some of the accessories may be different- Pilates tends to call for more than just a mat, and the mats tend to be thicker than those found in yoga studios- but the clothing is more or less the same.

We stock a range of Pilates clothing and a collection for yoga, but there is no reason not to cross over. Choose the clothing you like best from either page of the boutique online store and you won’t be disappointed. The products in both categories are stylish, comfortable, colourful, and soft on the skin. That’s all you need for either yoga or Pilates.
