Frequently Asked Questions

PEARL at Home 

Q1: Do I need to be fit or experienced in exercise?

A: Not at all! Each session is adaptable. You can choose gentle or more enthusiastic movements depending on how you feel that day.

​

Q2: How long are the sessions?

A: In response to feedback, sessions are typically 15 minutes, but we  offer 5- and 10-minute options and longer 30 min options so you can choose according to how you feel on the day.

​

Q3: Can I do the movements if I have pain or mobility issues?

A: Yes! Movements are designed to be safe for a range of abilities, including those with shoulder, knee, or hip pain. You can adapt movements to your comfort level.

​

Q4: How do I access the videos?

A: After subscribing, you can stream sessions directly from our website on any device with an internet connection.

​

Q5: Can I try a session before subscribing?

A: Absolutely! We offer a free trial video so you can experience Pearl before committing.

​

Q6: Do I need a big space or special equipment?
A: No special equipment is required. You can do Pearl safely in a small area at home — just make sure it’s clear of rugs, pets, or anything you could trip over.

​

Q7: Is it safe to do at home and how do I look after myself?
A: Yes, it’s designed to be safe for most abilities. Always check your surroundings, keep a phone and water nearby, move at a pace that feels comfortable, and use adaptations if needed. Listen to your body and stop if something feels wrong.

​

Q8: How often should I do Pearl Movements?

A: As often as you like! Even a few minutes a day can make a difference. Many participants enjoy daily sessions, but it is about working out what works best for you.  We do suggest you try to build it into your routine so that it becomes easier to just do it, rather than putting it off "until tomorrow".
