Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to a yoga or Pilates class?
Wear comfortable, form-fitting exercise clothes that allow free movement. Avoid loose clothing that may shift during inverted poses. For Pilates equipment classes, avoid zippers and hardware that may cause discomfort or damage equipment upholstery. Most studios provide mats and equipment; bring a water bottle and towel.
Do I need experience to start yoga or Pilates?
No experience is needed for most beginner-level classes. Studios like Cor Studio offer mat classes suitable for newcomers. However, Pilates equipment classes (reformer, etc.) typically require either previous experience or introductory private sessions. Most studios offer beginner-friendly classes and instructors can provide modifications for different fitness levels.

Single class drop-in rates typically range from $18-24. Class packages (5, 10, or 20 classes) offer discounted per-class rates. Monthly unlimited memberships are available at many studios. Private sessions cost more, typically $50-100+ per session. Many studios offer introductory specials for new students.
What is the difference between yoga, Pilates, and barre?
Yoga emphasizes flexibility, breathing, and mind-body connection through poses held for varying durations. Pilates focuses on core strength, alignment, and controlled movements, often using equipment like reformers. Barre combines elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates with small isometric movements at a ballet barre. Many studios offer fusion classes combining these disciplines.
What is a cancellation policy for classes?
Most studios require cancellation 12-24 hours in advance. Late cancellations or no-shows may result in charges or loss of class credits.
