- Notes:
  > The first step to a successful reformer experience is choosing the right class for your level. Many studios offer beginner or introductory sessions that focus on the fundamentals and teach you how to safely use the equipment.
  > 
  > Look for classes that:
  > 
  > \*   Include a full orientation of the reformer parts and settings
  > \*   Emphasize slow, controlled movements over intensity
  > \*   Are led by instructors certified in reformer Pilates
  > 
  > Taking a beginner class allows you to ease into the practice and avoid the common mistake of doing too much, too fast. This way, you’ll learn to engage your core properly, breathe in rhythm, and move with intention from the start.
  > 
  > Pro tip: Ask your instructor to adjust the settings on the \[pilates machine\](https://thecorecollab.com.au/collections/pilates-reformers) so it matches your strength and flexibility.
