FAQ
Red LED lights
What is the red LED light used in the studio?
Is this infrared light?
No. This is visible red LED light, not therapeutic infrared light. The intensity and installation distance are designed for safe use in a Pilates class setting.
Is it safe for the skin?
Yes. The red LED lights are used at low intensity and at a distance, making them safe for ambient exposure during a class.
Can it damage the skin or eyes?
No. The lights are installed indirectly and are not directed towards the eyes. They pose no known risk to the skin or vision in this context of use.
Does red LED light have any benefits?
Some studies link red light to positive effects on recovery and well-being. However, in our studio, it is used solely for ambiance purposes and not as therapy.
Is this comparable to treatment at a dermatologist's office?
No. Dermatological treatments use high-intensity, short-range medical equipment. Studio lighting is much softer and not intended for therapeutic purposes.
Can I participate in the course if I have a skin condition or sensitivity?
Yes. However, if you have a specific condition or a known sensitivity to light, we encourage you to discuss this with a healthcare professional.
Can I ask for the intensity to be reduced or for me to change seats?
Absolutely. The comfort and well-being of our clients are a priority. Please feel free to inform the instructor.
Pilates
Is Pilates right for me?
The answer is simple: yes, probably.
Pilates is a movement method designed to strengthen the body from within, improve posture, and promote smoother, more balanced movement. Unlike many forms of exercise, it focuses not on performance or impact, but on the quality of movement and body control.
This is what makes Pilates accessible to a very wide variety of people.
Who should try Pilates?
Pilates is suitable for a very wide variety of people. Unlike some more intensive training methods, it is based on controlled movement, breathing, and progressive strengthening.
You might particularly benefit from Pilates if you:
- do you have pain in your back, neck or shoulders
- work long hours sitting down and want to improve your posture
- want to strengthen your core and stability
- resume physical activity after a break
- wish to improve your mobility and flexibility
- already play a sport and want to prevent injuries
- look for smart, sustainable and body-friendly training
Pilates is a method that evolves with you. The exercises can be adapted according to your level, limitations, and goals.
Who should start with a private lesson?
Although group classes are accessible to several people, some situations may benefit from individual support at the start.
A private lesson can be particularly useful if you:
- have never done Pilates
- have an injury or are in rehabilitation
- suffer from chronic pain (back, hips, shoulders, etc.)
- want to learn the basics and the technique correctly
- want a fully customized program
Private lessons allow you to establish a solid foundation, understand the principles of Pilates and progress with confidence before joining a group class if desired.
I've never done Pilates before: where do I start?
This is the situation for the majority of people who walk through the doors of a studio for the first time.
Pilates is a method that is learned gradually. The first few classes are mainly used to:
- understanding the importance of breathing
- activate the deep muscles
- learn body alignment
- develop movement control
You don't need to be flexible, athletic, or experienced to get started.
Our instructors guide you at every step and offer variations of exercises so that everyone can progress at their own pace.
The only thing you need to get started is the desire to take care of your body and move better.
ERA Pilates Studio
Our instructors are trained to adapt the exercises and provide safe supervision, whether you are:

Pilates is not reserved for one body type or fitness level.
It is designed to help everyone move better, get stronger and feel good in their body.
Pilates isn't just about strengthening the body. It also improves:
- spinal mobility
- hip and back flexibility
- the coordination between breathing and movement
This combination helps reduce stiffness, improve range of motion and decrease accumulated muscle tension.
- improve posture
- reduce lower back pain
- increase physical functionality
In some populations, it proves to be as effective as other forms of therapeutic exercise, while often being better tolerated thanks to its progressive and controlled approach.
One of the great advantages of Pilates is that it adapts to each individual.
It may be suitable for:
- beginners resuming physical activity
- people in rehabilitation
- athletes who want to improve their stability and prevent injuries
- people suffering from chronic pain
- adults of all ages
Each exercise can be modified or adjusted according to the person's physical condition, limitations or goals.
