  • Private lessons could be beneficial if you have an injury or health issue. And if you’re already a regular at the studio, you might want to freshen up your skills or come in for more check-ins.

Private Pilates Lessons (half-hour)

  • You may need Half-Hour Private Lessons to improve your progress during Open Studio Sessions. I may recommend continuing these lessons semi-regularly to enhance your initial progress. As you gain more independence and develop a richer program, these extra lessons will become less necessary.

WHAT IS OPEN STUDIO?

I follow Joseph Pilates’ original method of teaching Pilates, where each person receives a customized workout in a small group setting that promotes community and dynamic movement - just like how Joe Pilates himself taught it.

To truly create a Pilates body tailored to your individual needs, there is no better way than through the original Pilates method. This approach allows you to fully embrace the method and establish a consistent practice supporting you throughout your wellness journey.

Once you complete a series of private lessons, you can join my small group sessions, where you’ll work on your Pilates practice individually with my guidance. We’ll start with an initial Pilates program that we’ll work on together. Typically, it takes three one-hour private lessons to prepare you for my Open Studio.

I hold Open Studio Sessions from Monday to Friday every week during the morning, lunchtime, and evening hours. The sessions typically last 1.5 hours; you can come and go as you please. You don’t have to arrive on time or stay until the end unless necessary for you on that specific day.

You can also work out with me virtually and don’t require specialized Pilates equipment. All you need is a yoga mat and a bit of wall space. This is a popular choice for clients traveling or unable to visit the studio.

To join Lift Pilates, I request that you commit to workout with me at least twice a week and learning your Pilates routine so that I can provide you with valuable guidance. We can create a sense of community and enjoy ourselves while achieving your fitness goals.

I’ve found that attending class at least twice per week is the key to mastering the Pilates method, feeling great in your body, and retaining what you learn. Lift Pilates is committed to making your experience enjoyable and uplifting. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at (530) 220-4579. I’m always here to help!
