What makes Dirti Pilates membership different?
It’s a membership that recognises financial inaccessibility rather than ignoring - creating a community that enables those priced out of movement to participate in a more affordable approach and allows others to support those on subsided memberships. A space for movement, community, and feeling good in your body - without the intimidation or pressure.
Community and Access Questions
-
Is the studio accessible? Unfortunately, the studio is on the fourth floor in a loft space with no lift access. If you have access needs or are unsure if the space is suitable, please email dirtipilates@gmail.com
-
Can I attend if I’m pregnant or postpartum? Yes, but please let me know beforehand so I can make sure the class and modifications are suitable for you.
-
What if I have an injury or limitation? Please let me know before attending. I’m big on modifications and will always encourage you to work with your body.
-
Is Dirti Pilates neurodivergent-friendly? Yes. Classes are built around choice, flexibility, and listening to your body. There’s no “right” way to participate. Plus I’m AuDHD :)
-
What if I struggle with instructions or coordination?
Me too babes, I offer demonstrations and modifications throughout - we’re here for a good time - not right time. -
Can I move differently, stim, or take breaks? Absolutely. You’re welcome to move, pause or adapt in whatever way feels right for you.
-
What if I feel overwhelmed during class? Take a break, pause or step out whenever you need. Your comfort comes first.
-
Is it suitable if I have ADHD or autism? Yes. Dirty Pilates is about creating a flexible, pressure-free space where everyone can participate in their own way.
