Setting up for your online class

Switching from our regular classes to online Pilates can be daunting (for both of us!) Continuing to move and staying connected are vital for our physical and mental health.

Following these tips to set yourself up for success with your online Pilates classes can make everything easier:
 

Here I am checking the set up for my online classes.

• Install the Zoom app
• Click or copy and paste the link which will take you to the ‘meeting’ (or in our case, class)
• I will usually start the vision 15 mins before the class starts
• I recommend you join the meeting 5mins early to make sure the app is working and you can fine tune your set up
• Make sure you set you your phone/iPad/computer up so you can see it (me!) from your mat
• Ensure the “internet enabled audio” is checked so you can hear me
• Wireless headphones can assist you with the audio
• Have any props – towel, roller etc nearby so you can easily use them
• Have enough space cleared around your mat so you can move freely
• You can choose to have your video on or off – but at the beginning and end of class it’s nice to switch it on to say hi to everyone!
• Just like in the studio, put your phone on silent (or leave it in another room)
• Ask that your family, or anyone living with you doesn’t disturb you for the hour
• Make sure the space you are in has an adequate internet connection
• Check the device you’re using is charged
