The ideal way to start pilates is to take a few private classes to build a solid understanding of pilates principles and master key exercises before transitioning to group exercises if you wish. The ideal intro pass is a good option. Some do continue a mixture of group and private classes. Others prefer group eventually. And there are those who just love private sessions.
If starting with private classes is not an option, you can start with beginner level reformer group classes. Mat classes are safe for all levels.
