SEMI-PRIVATE (2:1) SESSIONS

Semi-private sessions are open to clients who have a practice partner lined up. One client books on behalf of the pair.

2:1 sessions are taught across mixed apparatus, with each client working on separate equipment and often doing different exercises to one another. They’re a great option for those who enjoy a little more independence and want to go deeper into the method within a shared studio environment.

Because I, as the teacher, move between two clients, these sessions involve more autonomy than a standard 1:1 session. There will be moments where each client practises independently, so confidence with the basics is essential (equipment, fundamental technique, principles of the practice), both for safety and to get the most out of the session. Prior experience is therefore required. Please read on for further information.

ELIGIBILITY

In order to take semi-private (2:1) sessions at my studio, both participants are required to take a few private 1:1 sessions first. Working 1:1 with each person first helps me get to know how they move, teach them how to modify exercises where needed, ensure they’re comfortable with fundamental technique and movement patterns, and get an idea as to what sort of work would be most suitable in a 2:1 setting going forward.

As a guideline, if someone is totally new to Pilates I generally recommend 4 preparatory private sessions, or 2-4 privates for someone with prior experience. However, this may differ according to the individual; please see below for further information.

However, the number of private sessions required before commencing semi-privates may vary. Additional preparation may be recommended, and in some cases semi-private sessions may not be the most appropriate format. Progression to semi-privates is at the instructor’s discretion. Private sessions remain the best option for beginners, those managing injuries or significant contraindications, or anyone wanting a fully guided experience.

In rare cases, where both clients have significant, proven experience, preparatory private sessions may not be required (although an intro session is still recommended for each person). Again, this is at the teacher’s discretion.

INTERESTED?

If you’d like to work towards semi-privates, I recommend taking the following steps:

  • If you haven’t already done so, find yourself a practice partner!

  • Next, email me to introduce the two of you, and to double check availability. Feel free to enquire about regular slots down the line, if you’d like me to pencil you both in.

  • Each of you can then book a 1:1 private intro session for £45 (offer open to new clients only), so you can each get a feel for my studio and teaching.

  • Once you’ve attended your first session, if you’re both happy to proceed, speak to me about how many privates I recommend. Please note, this number may vary according to the individual, and semi-privates may not be suitable for every client.

  • I offer a package of three 1:1 session credits for a discounted rate of £160 specifically for clients who are preparing for semi-privates. The link to purchase this can be shared upon request.

  • Upon completion of your initial 1:1 privates, and when I’m happy you’re ready, I will share details on how to book semi-private sessions.

  • For clients who are able to commit to regular sessions every month, semi-private studio membership is available for £265, which covers four semi-private sessions and access to all online mat classes. Monthly recurring payment, flat fee for two people. Please email me to find out more.
