Why Private Pilates Sessions are the Perfect Complement to Your Group Sessions
Whether you're just starting your Pilates journey or you've been practising for years, private Pilates classes can be a transformative addition to your practice.
While group Pilates classes are a fun, motivating way to move your body with others, adding private sessions to your Pilates journey can bring a new level of personalized attention and enhanced results.
Even though our group classes are purposely small, tailored one-on-one classes provide additional benefits and help you take your practice to the next level.
Here are some of the multiple benefits of adding private classes to your routine:
1. Personalized instruction and focus
In a group setting, our teachers ensure the class is tailored to students with different strengths and fitness levels. Even though our classes allow a maximum of 5 students, private lessons allow our teachers to assess your body mechanics, listen to your goals, and design a class that focuses on your unique needs.
Whether you’re looking to enhance core strength, improve flexibility, or recover from an injury, private sessions offer the specialized attention required for more targeted results.
2. Correct form and alignment
Pilates is all about precision and alignment. Small adjustments can make a big difference, and maintaining correct form is crucial for maximizing the benefits of each exercise.
Despite our classes being small, it’s difficult for our teachers to provide continuous feedback as they move through the room to support the whole class. Private sessions give you the advantage of real-time corrections, ensuring you stay aligned, avoid injury, and make the most of every movement.
3. Faster progress and results
Because private Pilates classes are customized just for you, they allow you to progress at your own pace. With more focused time on areas that need improvement, your teacher can help you build strength and skills to advance to more complex exercises.
This more direct approach will help you see faster results compared to working solely in a group setting.
4. Injury prevention and rehabilitation
One of the major benefits of private Pilates sessions is the ability it provides teachers to support injury prevention and rehabilitation.
If you're recovering from an injury or experiencing chronic pain, a private class can focus on exercises that promote healing, strengthen weaker muscles, and prevent further injury.
This focused approach ensures a safe and effective practice, supporting your recovery every step of the way.
5. Increased motivation and accountability
One of the key benefits of private classes is the increased accountability. With a dedicated teacher by your side, you’re more likely to stay consistent and committed to your practice.
The personal connection will help keep you motivated—our teachers will challenge you in a supportive, encouraging way that pushes you to reach new levels without feeling overwhelmed.
6. Deeper Mind-Body Connection
Pilates isn’t just about physical movement; it’s about cultivating a deeper mind-body connection. With the undivided attention of a private class, you’ll have the chance to delve deeper into that connection.
If you've been attending group classes but feel disconnected from your practice, a private session can help you slow down, focus on your breath, and refine your technique. It’s the perfect opportunity to tune into your body, stay present, and master the finer details of each exercise.
7. Adaptability to Your Needs
Every individual’s body is unique, and so is their fitness journey. Whether you have specific goals, or health concerns, or need adjustments to accommodate different fitness levels, private Pilates sessions are incredibly adaptable.
Your teacher will adjust exercises to fit your needs, ensuring you’re doing the right moves for your body and your goals. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, your private sessions can be modified as you progress, making Pilates a lifelong practice.
8. Compliment Group Classes with Advanced Techniques
Group classes can introduce you to new exercises and concepts, but in private sessions you’ll have the space to explore complex Pilates movements at a pace that suits you, building confidence and skill. As you continue to grow in your practice, private classes provide the perfect setting to explore advanced exercises that might not be feasible in a group class.

By combining both group and private sessions, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: the community spirit and energy of group classes, paired with the precision and progress that comes with personalized support.
