FAQs

  • Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on strengthening the core, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness. It was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century and emphasizes proper alignment, breathing, and controlled movements.

  • Pilates is suitable for people of all fitness levels and ages. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, my classes can be adapted to meet your individual needs and goals. Simply put, pilates is for EVERYbody!

  • I offer a variety of session formats to suit different preferences:

    • One-on-one (1:1) private sessions

    • Small group classes

    • Special events and workshops

    • Virtual and In-Person options available as well

  • Yes, I offer package deals for multiple sessions. These packages can provide cost savings and encourage consistent practice. Please contact me for current package options and pricing.

  • For optimal results, it is recommended to practice Pilates 2-3 times per week. However, even once a week can provide benefits. Listen to your body and choose a frequency that fits your schedule and goals.

  • Repetition in Pilates serves several purposes:

    1. It helps perfect form and technique

    2. It builds muscle memory and strength

    3. It allows for incremental progress as you master each movement

    4. It reinforces the mind-body connection central to Pilates practice

    As you become more advanced, you'll notice subtle variations and increased difficulty in these repeated movements.

  • Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothes that allow you to move freely. Avoid loose clothing that might get in the way of movements or make it difficult for me (your instructor) to see your form.

  • For mat classes, you are welcome to bring your own mats but we do have mats and other equipment available as well. Same for private sessions or specific classes, you are welcome to bring your own mat but there are extra mats available.

    What you will need to bring is: water, a towel if you'd like and great vibes!

  • Absolutely! Pilates is an excellent way to improve flexibility. I can modify exercises to accommodate your current level of flexibility, and you'll likely see improvements over time.

  • While both Pilates and yoga focus on mind-body connection, Pilates places more emphasis on core strength and precise, controlled movements. Yoga typically incorporates more static poses and has a stronger focus on meditation and spirituality.

  • Many people find that Pilates helps alleviate back pain by strengthening core muscles, improving posture, and increasing body awareness. However, if you have specific back issues, please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen.

  • Our sessions typically last 45-55 minutes. I also can offer express 30-minute classes for those with busy schedules.

  • I strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot, especially for group classes and private sessions. You can book through the gym/studio website I teach at or by contacting me directly.
