No prior Pilates experience is necessary.
Your entry begins with a private introductory session with Laura Shearer, followed by one week of Guided Studio sessions.
The private session allows us to assess how you move and introduce you to the classical Pilates system.
In the days that follow, you will begin practicing within the Guided Studio environment, working through your individualized program with ongoing observation and instruction.
This initial week gives you a clear experience of the rhythm and structure of the studio—and whether this method of training is the right fit.
At the end of the week, we will determine the membership option that best supports your continued progress.
If the structure feels right, you’ll continue with a clear path forward.
Targeted one-on-one instruction to refine your work, deepen understanding, and accelerate progress within the classical system.
Private sessions complement your studio practice and help move your work forward with greater clarity and precision.
Many clients choose to include periodic private sessions as part of their ongoing practice.
