I have back injuries from an accident. Can I still come to the retreat? Pilates does attract people who have some sort of injury. The most important thing whether coming to my retreat or going to someone else's classes is to let the teacher know the problems so that we can work around the injuries accordingly. There are always modified exercises if there are particular exercises you can't do. With severe injury, it is important that you bring a Doctor’s note and discuss in advance.
