Private Sessions:   A 55 minute mat Pilates session (by appointment) with 1:1 instruction, first session includes an assessment of posture, mobility, strength, core muscle activation and client goals.  Then a specific Pilates program is designed and implemented to meet the client's exact needs and goals.  A private session is strongly recommended for participants with more complex rehabilitative needs prior to registering for a class.

Duet Sessions: A 55 minute session with two people (by appointment) - instructor to clients ratio is 1:2 allowing more personalization of Pilates program than classes and more individual feedback.

 

Semi-private sessions are ideal for friends, couples, or newcomers to Pilates wishing to learn together.  This type of session is also a good transition from private sessions to classes.  This program requires the two participants attend together and is more suitable for pairs with similar program goals.  A partial assessment is completed on both participants however it is not as individual as in the private assessment.

Reformer Sessions:   The reformer is a piece of Pilates resistance equipment which features a gliding carriage, spring system and pullies and its unique design allows up to 500 exercises.  Exercises on the Pilates reformer machine establish and develop core stability, postural alignment, while working on peripheral mobility and strength.  Exceptional results are achieved quickly as Pilates equipment allows strengthening and lengthening of muscles rather than building bulk, making for an effective stretching and toning workout that doesn't impact joints.  Plyometric exercises may also be performed on the Pilates reformer and these are beneficial for athletes as well as rehabilitation clients.
