SEMI-PRIVATE (2:1) SESSIONS

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

These sessions are taught across mixed apparatus, with each client often working on different exercises and apparatus at any given time. 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 works independently, so an understanding of the method (familiarity with the equipment, fundamental technique, principles of the practice) is essential, 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 preparatory 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 as and when 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 a minimum of 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.

Please be aware that 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, people managing injuries or significant contraindications, or anyone wanting a fully guided experience.

* Under certain circumstances – for example if both participants are themselves Pilates teachers, or if they can demonstrate prior experience – the requirement to take 1:1 sessions may be waived. However, 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 yourselves, 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. See my current fixed slot availability here.

  • Each of you can then book a 1:1 private intro session for £45 (offer open to new clients only, one attendee per session), 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 before starting semi-privates. Please note, this number may vary according to the individual, and semi-privates may not be suitable for every client.

  • 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, whether as drop-in sessions or via joint studio membership.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Links to all semi-private pricing/membership options are available on request (pending approval).
