What is Pilates exactly?
Pilates is a movement modality that focuses on breath, the core and our deep stabilizing muscles. Pilates is great for strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and posture. Anyone can benefit from Pilates, from high-level athletes to those with injuries and physical restrictions.
I am currently injured or have previous injuries. Can I still do Pilates?
Yes! Pilates is great for injuries, as long as you are cleared by your doctor. We will work around whatever physical ailments you are experiencing and will take into account previous injuries, as well. The owner has extensive experience with injuries and ailments of all types including sciatica, full-joint replacements, back issues, scoliosis, torn muscles, chronic pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, EDS, Parkinson's, MS, legally blind, and folks on the spectrum.
Do you work with Prenatal and Postnatal clients?
Yes we work with both pre and postnatal clients! Doing Pilates while pregnant or recovering from pregnancy, as long as you're cleared by your doctor, is great. We will work while being conscious of where you are in your pregnancy journey.
What equipment do you have?
We have a Reformer, Tower, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, and a variety of props to suit all of your needs!
Do you offer classes? What about Duets?
As a small studio, we do not have the room to accommodate classes at this time. We focus on one-on-one work with our private offerings. In special circumstances, we do offer duets. However, these duets would be mat and floorwork only. Please reach out to us directly if you are interested in duets!
Do you perform in-home privates?
To best accommodate you, we can perform in-home privates. These privates are typically mat only (unless you have your own equipment) and are priced differently. Please reach out to us directly to schedule an in-home private today!
