How to Ease Into Your 2026 Wellness Journey

Simple steps to help you feel confident walking into your first class of the new year

The start of a new year often brings pressure to make big changes, whether it's spending money on new clothes, eating healthy or changing your entire lifestyle.

At Sabai, we believe your wellness journey should feel gentle, achievable and positive. You don't need a new outfit or a strict plan to begin; what matters is showing up for yourself in a way that feels manageable and kind.

You do not need to look a certain way to start ✨

It’s easy to think you need expensive activewear to fit in, but you really don’t. Your normal workout clothes are absolutely fine. All you need for Pilates is a pair of grippy socks, and if you don’t have any, the studio has them ready for you to purchase.

Remember that every single person in the room was new at one point, and that nobody is looking at you or expecting you to perform. Everyone comes to feel better, not to impress anyone else.

Go slow and don’t put too much pressure on yourself 🌸

Your wellness journey doesn’t need to begin with intensity. Ease into movement by choosing one or two classes to try each week.

Pick sessions that feel inviting rather than intimidating. It’s completely normal to feel unsure at first, but you'll find that over time, the movements will become familiar, your confidence will grow, and your body will feel stronger and more supported.

Start with a friend if it helps you feel more confident 👯

If walking into a new space alone feels daunting, ask a friend to join you. Starting together means you can support each other, stay accountable and celebrate your progress along the way.

Having someone beside you might make your first few classes feel less intimidating and much more enjoyable.

Wellness shouldn’t break the bank 💰

At Sabai Studio, we believe that health and happiness should be accessible to everyone, which is why we create 'daily deals' to help you begin without the worry of cost.

You can try Reformer, Tower and Chair, Mat or Yoga classes at a lower price so you can find what you enjoy and build a routine at your own pace. Movement should feel like a gift to yourself, not a financial burden.
