Pilates for beginners. Certified Pilates theory student offering beginner-friendly online mat Pilates classes focused on mindful movement

From 88 C$ /h

My approach to Pilates is based on the STOTT Pilates principles, with a strong focus on understanding your body, moving mindfully, and building a solid foundation.

My online mat Pilates classes are designed especially for beginners who want to discover Pilates in a supportive, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I believe it is important to understand not only how to perform an exercise, but also why we do it and how our bodies respond to each movement.

Each 30-minute session begins with a short introduction to the principles of Pilates, breathing, posture, and body awareness. We then move through a series of mat exercises at a pace suited to your level, focusing on alignment, controlled movements, breathing, and technique. We finish with a gentle conclusion, allowing you to notice how your body feels and what you have learned.

I offer both individual and small group sessions online. In individual classes, we can focus more closely on your personal goals and learning pace. Group classes offer a shared experience where you can learn and progress together.

My goal is to make Pilates approachable and enjoyable, without pressure to be flexible, strong, or experienced from the beginning. Whether you are completely new to Pilates or looking to reconnect with mindful movement, my sessions are an opportunity to learn about your body, develop body awareness, and build confidence one movement at a time.

My classes will introduce you to the beauty of flowing sequences and how to connect you breath with your movements. I will focus on energizing your body through core strenghth and dynamic flows or more grounding standing series. Explore your body through movement in a light and playful way and improve your flexibility while learning how to use your breath in a healing way.

I'm offering private yoga sessions suitable for one person or small groups.

Prices for small groups can be discussed.

What I like about teaching:
I'm interested in encouraging people to use their breath in an empowering and healing way. Further to that I like the combination of flowing movements and the cultivation of groundedness both with deep Ujjayi Breath. Through hands-on assists I like to support my
students to get a deeper sensation of the pose and experience the borders of their bodies. In my classes I like to hold space for my students to experiment, discover their strength and to overcome fears.

Professional contemporary dancer and teacher in Pilates - Carpet from Stott School I give classes combining my practices and my pedagogy to give a time to yourself to listen to your body and better overcome its obstacles, its wounds and strengthen it! These sessions are for beginners who want to discover this practice as advanced to want to open to other approaches.
I adapt to the needs of the learner.

Structuring of the sessions:
* Following a body analysis, a specific body attention will be brought to each one with Pilates exercises of muscular and skeletal reinforcements, tissue tone, flexibility taking into account the natural position of his body and injuries if there are in a. Emphasis on deep breathing to accompany each exercise!

* Setting in motion by following lines of cardiovascular exercises, coordination, musicality. If there is interest on your part for this sequel and if the time of the session allows it. This allows an even more complete body work.

It is with all the necessary attention, my kindness and a good humor that I will be your guide!
Stop judging yourself, your body is your home and instead take care of yourself through movement and breathing because these are vital!

The Pilates method was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by a passionate about sport and the human body, Joseph Pilates. It is practiced on the ground, with or without accessories or using devices. It helps develop deep muscles, improve and restore mobility.

The Pilates method helps rebalance the muscles of the body, focusing on the central muscles which are involved in postural balance, and the maintenance of the spine. The muscles which are not very stressed are invited to get back into motion, while the over-stressed and tense muscles are caused to relax.

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

I am a certified Pilates instructor and am qualified to give group lessons as well as private lessons. My passion for Pilates got ignited by my mother who is a Pilates trainer herself. I used to go to her classes and would always notice how no matter how I felt before a class, I always came out feeling better after. Consequently, after a while I decided that I'd love to be able to gift that feeling to others and that is when I enrolled for a Pilates teacher training course. I have not been able to find any studios near where I live that would take an English-speaking Pilates instructor, so I decided that offering online and in person classes as a freelancer might be a better path for me. This way I can also really give all my focus and attention to each of my students.

Certified instructor with 15 years of experience across four disciplines: Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates — a rare combination that lets me design one tailored program instead of switching teachers for each style.

Sessions are fully private and adapted to your goals, fitness level, and any physical considerations, whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced practitioner. I travel to you and bring all necessary equipment (aerial rig setup requires a suitable ceiling point — happy to advise in advance).

Discretion, punctuality, and a calm, focused teaching style for clients who value their time.
