Not just a workout — a full body, full system experience
At Essence Pilates, we don’t follow trends — we follow intention.
We believe your body deserves more than a simplified version of this rich method. That’s why we teach the full system — Mat and Apparatus — with care, creativity, and deep respect for the original work of Contrology.
You won’t find just Reformer classes here.
Instead, we welcome you to experience what Pilates truly is: a method that blends movement, breath, and awareness across all its original apparatus — including Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and more.
If you’re ready to explore the depth of this practice, we’re ready to guide you through it.
WHAT WE OFFER
Small Group
Apparatus Classes
Up to 3 people, working with different apparatus. A supportive, focused environment to move at your own pace, with expert guidance.
Mat Classes
– Two Locations
Our Mat classes bring the essence of Pilates to the floor — no springs, no shortcuts. Just you, your breath, and gravity.
Taught in small groups of 6 to 8 people, in two welcoming locations, these classes offer a powerful and accessible way to deepen your practice — and stay connected to the roots of the method.
Private sessions
One body, one path, full attention
A space designed just for you.
In our one-on-one sessions, every movement is chosen with care—whether you’re rebuilding after injury, refining your practice, or simply craving a deeper connection to your body.
Here, we move at your pace, with full presence, precision, and purpose.
Duet Sessions
Shared energy, personal focus
Two people, one instructor, and a shared journey—each with your own goals, your own rhythm.
Perfect for friends, partners, or anyone who enjoys moving together while still receiving thoughtful, personalized guidance.
Connection, commitment, and a little camaraderie along the way.
Class Levels – A Path to Progress
Small groups, big results
At Essence, our Apparatus classes are intentionally small — only 3 students per session — to ensure focused attention and a supportive environment.
To guide your progression safely and effectively, we use teacher-assigned tags like Intermediate and Advanced. These tags are earned through experience in Open Level classes and reflect your readiness to move forward with confidence.
Your tag isn’t a label — it’s a guide. With it, you’ll know exactly where to grow next, always with clarity, care, and intention.
Each class at Essence is here to support your practice with clarity, intention, and just the right challenge.
Because our Apparatus sessions are intimate — with only three spots per class — we thoughtfully organize the schedule using teacher-assigned tags like Intermediate and Advanced.
This helps ensure that each student receives the focused attention and appropriate pace they need to feel safe, supported, and ready to grow. These tags are not labels, but gentle guides — shaped by experience, not expectation.
With consistency and curiosity, the work begins to live in your body — and that’s where true transformation happens.
Keep showing up. Stay open. Your practice will carry you forward.
