Where to start

To evaluate your needs, begin creating an awareness of the deep torso muscles and establish a foundation in the technique, we recommend a one-on-one introductory session followed by 3 to 5 private sessions. This allows us to tailor a program to suit your needs.

Following your introduction to STOTT PILATES exercise, these session options are available:

Private: one-on-one personal training
Semi-private: work out with a friend or have us arrange a partner for you
Instructor-led groups: join a regularly scheduled group or coordinate your own group of four to eight people

Sessions are typically 55 minutes in length. Please arrive a few minutes early to receive your full session.

Class Descriptions

Entrance Assessment
Duration - 1 hour

The most effective introduction to STOTT PILATES is through an Entrance Assessment. An Entrance Assessment is an hour-long private training session. Your trainer begins by doing a postural analysis. This analysis takes 10-15 minutes and permits the trainer to create a postural profile that will allow all future workouts at Studio Praxis to be tailored to your particular postural characteristics. In the 45 minutes that follow, your trainer will take you through a STOTT PILATES workout that focuses on basic principles and essential-level exercises. If you are new to pilates-based exercise, the pace of this session may seem slow since we are just beginning to make you aware of deep core muscles. If you've had prior experience with pilates exercise, your trainer will set a pace that matches your level of ability. Following the workout, you and your trainer will discuss your training options. From private sessions to group classes - from beginner to advanced-level training, your trainer will work with you to create a regime with your health and fitness goals in mind. Entrance Assessments can be booked anytime by calling the studio coordinator.

Introductory Privates
Duration - 55 minutes

Introductory Privates are one-on-one sessions designed to get you ready for group classes. Following your Entrance Assessment, your trainer will indicate if Introductory Privates are suitable for you.

Teen Pilates
Duration - 45 minutes per week for 8 weeks

Praxis is pleased to introduce pilates training for young people aged 11 to 16. Like the adults, teens purchase packages of 10 classes at a discounted rate. Participants work in the studio one afternoon a week for 55 minutes plus they are given several exercises each week to perfect at home. Participants must have parental permission. Capacity is 6 participants per class.

Programme objectives for Teen Pilates are:
- to introduce the basic principles of pilates exercise
- to teach essential exercises that work in all planes of movement
- to begin creating an awareness of what our body does for us
- to teach skills and techniques that improve focus and teach students how to listen to what their bodies are telling them; a skill particularly valuable for preventing injury in future activities and sports.

STANDING APPOINTMENTS

One of the many convenient features of Studio Praxis is the Standing Appointment

If there are particular classes you’re committed to attending each week, let us know. We’ll create a standing appointment that reserves your place automatically. No worries if you have to miss a class from time to time, or if you’re going on vacation. Like any of our classes, all we require is 24 hours’ notice to avoid a late cancellation charge.

To set up the standing appointment speak with the studio coordinator. You’ll be asked to provide a credit card number that we’ll keep on file. As your package runs out, you’ll receive an email notification that a new package has been charged to your card. Your receipt and a copy of the transaction will be waiting for you at your next visit.
