Frequently Asked Questions

& Policies


What do you wear to Pilates?

  • Sticky socks (socks with tread on the sole of the foot) are required for private, small group, and public classes. They are for safe traction on the machine and to keep everyone feeling hygienic when we put our feet in the straps.

  • Speaking of feet in straps, there are often series of exercises in which you are lying down on your back with your feet up to sky. Wear pants or shorts that are long enough that they will cover your nether region completely.

  • Other than that, wear clothes that stretch with you, feel comfortable and you don’t mind sweating in.

What is your cancellation policy?

  • For Private Classes, Duet Classes and Small Group Classes at The Oasis in Oakland, please provide 48 hours advance notice of cancellation. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged for the session in full.

  • For Public Classes at Mighty Pilates in Berkeley and Lafayette, please review the studio policies on their website.

Where are the classes located?

Private Classes, Duet Classes and Small Group Classes booked through this website are held at The Oasis at 730 29th Street in Oakland.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept payment via Paypal, Zelle, Venmo or cash. When you book a class, you will need to submit a credit card to secure your reservation. I will charge the card on file for a late cancel (within 48 hours of your reservation) or if I do not receive payment after service for more than 48 hours.

What is your refund policy?

All sales are final.
