Sometimes a group class isn’t quite the right place to start.

You may be completely new to Pilates and would feel more comfortable learning the basics privately first. You may already practise Pilates, but want some individual help with particular exercises or technique. Or you may be returning to movement following illness, surgery, injury or treatment and want a little more support before joining a group.

Private one-to-one Pilates gives us the time to focus entirely on you, your experience, your goals, your movement and what you’d like to achieve.

Who is One-to-One Pilates for?

A private lesson may be particularly useful if you:

• are new to Pilates and nervous about starting in a group
• would like to learn the fundamentals properly before joining a class
• already practise Pilates but want help improving particular exercises or technique
• are returning to exercise following illness, surgery, injury or treatment
• have individual movement limitations that need more adaptation than is practical in a group class
• would simply benefit from some focused time before moving into a regular 'Me..time' class
• want help with a specific movement or postural problem. Perhaps for a sport, hobby or everyday activity, and would benefit from exercises tailored to exactly what you need

With more than 17 years of teaching experience, Amanda will work with you at a pace that feels appropriate and help you understand not just what you’re doing, but why.

Your Initial One-to-One Consultation

Your first appointment is a 60-minute individual consultation and Pilates lesson.

We’ll start by talking about you and what you would like to achieve. We’ll also discuss your health and exercise history, previous Pilates experience, and any relevant injuries, surgery or treatment.

We’ll then look at your posture and the way you move through some simple movements before we begin some personalised Pilates with you.

The aim is to understand where you are now and work out the most appropriate next step for you.

That may mean a single one-to-one lesson to focus on a specific issue, continuing with private lessons for a while, moving into a suitable ‘Me..time’ group class, joining a future ‘Me..time’ Recovery Pilates class, or occasionally seeking further advice from an appropriate healthcare professional before progressing.

Initial Private One-to-One Consultation - £75

60 minutes

Your first appointment is all about understanding you and what you want to achieve.

We’ll talk through your health and exercise history, any relevant injuries, surgery or treatment, and your previous Pilates experience. we’ll also look at your posture and movement, and we’ll work through some Pilates together so we can see what feels comfortable and what may need adapting.

From there, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step for you.

Follow-Up Private One-to-One Pilates — £65

50 minutes

Follow-up lessons allow us to build on what we discovered during your first appointment.

We can work more closely on your Pilates technique, progress particular exercises, adapt movements around your individual needs and concentrate on the areas that matter most to you.

Short programmes of private lessons can also be arranged where a little more individual support would be helpful.

Once you’ve booked, I’ll contact you personally to arrange your appointment time and send you everything you need before we meet.

Returning to Movement?

Private one-to-one Pilates can be particularly useful if you’re finding your way back to exercise following illness, surgery, injury or medical treatment.

This is not physiotherapy or medical rehabilitation. Instead, it provides a supported bridge back into appropriate movement and Pilates, taking account of any guidance or restrictions you have already been given by your healthcare team.

This area of ‘Me..time’ is developing further through ‘Me..time’ Recovery Pilates, providing additional support for people who want to continue rebuilding strength, mobility and confidence following illness, surgery or treatment, whether or not a conventional group class is their long-term goal.

Extra Support Between Lessons

Where appropriate, private clients also receive access to The Missing Manual to Mat Pilates, our online guide to the Pilates fundamentals.

Rather than spending valuable private-lesson time repeatedly covering the basic principles, you can revisit subjects such as breathing, posture and core connection at your own pace, while we use our time together for the things that specifically need our attention.

Not Sure Whether One-to-One Pilates Is Right for You?

Private appointments are intentionally limited so that we can give each client the time and individual attention they need.

Private one-to-one appointments are available from our private studio in Worcestershire.

If you’d like to find out whether a private lesson would be appropriate for you, tell us a little about what you’re looking for and we’ll be happy to advise.
