Yoga (ashtanga) is much better unless you can find a proper pilates studio with the pilates machines
Yoga place near the Merrion Inn is recommended
I think a former rugby international has recently opened such a pilates studio in Dublin with his girlfriend
Well, most of it anyway. I am, of course, in Bandageâs corner.
Bandage stay well away from that Pilates craic, unlike others on here I suspect you would be far too much of a man for such activities.

Whatâs a pilates machine exactly?
I appreciate your good wishes, pal.
exactly that - a machine on which to do pilates
other place that offer pilates donât really unless they have the machines
it was designed as a machine based system for soldiers recuperating after WW1

Very informative. I didnât know a machine was required to lie around and stretch.
I am not.
Do it. Youâll feel great after it. And strong. What man doesnât like to feel strong?
The ulterior motive has just that. Iâve done lots of pilates on and off since doing my knee injury. Some of the best classes were without any props at all. ITâs more about whether your teacher knows what she/heâs at. Tiffany Cruickshank would see you right.
I still think ashtanga yoga is the way to go for @Bandage - it âopensâ your hips like nothing else

Iâm provisionally booked in for a 7.30am pilates class tomorrow morning. Will I go ahead with it, lads? Whatâs appropriate pilates class wear? Will I sweat? Should I bring a bottle of water?
I donât do yoga, never tried Pilates.
Great stuff mate. I look forward to your report and what fashion mistakes you make so I can avoid them when I begin my own classesâŚ
As an aside, iâve starting using a hockey ball as a type of foam roller in around my glutes and lower back and I feel fanstastic⌠maybe something you also need to look into.

Iâm going to use google to research pilates class wear now, pal.
âWear clothing that you can move comfortably in. Leotards, tights, sweatpants, shorts, tank-tops, or any other clothing that stretches will work.â
Shorts, tights and tank-top it is then.

Think roller skating in the 1980s along a beach front in California and you wonât go too far wrong ever in terms of what to wear
If you can find a middle ground between leggings and a sports bra and football socks GAA shorts and your TFK AFC jersey you should be ok.
