We also offer consultations to help determine the best fit for you.
What can I expect from my first session?

In your first session, expect a warm welcome and an initial assessment to understand your needs. For Pilates and Alignment Therapy, there will be an introduction to basic techniques and personalised adjustments. In Mindfulness Coaching, you'll be guided through foundational practices for relaxation and awareness.
Are the services suitable for beginners or those with specific health conditions?

Our services are tailored to accommodate all levels, including beginners. We take special care to adapt our sessions for those with specific health conditions, ensuring a safe and beneficial experience. It's recommended to discuss any health concerns with us beforehand.
How does Mindfulness Coaching work?

Our online Mindfulness Coaching is conducted via a secure video platform. You'll be guided by Shahana through various practices aimed at enhancing mental well-being. These sessions can be accessed from the comfort of your home, making them convenient and accessible.
How do I book a session, and what is the cancellation policy?

Booking a session is simple by contacting us directly. Please remember to cancel or reschedule your appointment via email, text message, or phone at least 48 hours prior to your session. Cancellations made within this 48-hour notice period will not incur any charge. However, cancellations made after this period, including no-shows, will require payment in full.
What should I wear?

It's important to wear attire that allows you to move freely and comfortably during Pilates classes. Opt for loose, comfortable bottoms like yoga pants or leggings, paired with a fitted top. A fitted top is preferred as it helps Shahana observe the movement of your core muscles during exercises. This type of clothing not only ensures your comfort but also allows for proper form and alignment to be maintained throughout the session.
