At Caroline Sampayo Pilates, we teach as Joseph Pilates intended: mat, Reformer, and all the other apparatus working together to build strength, alignment, and control. Every private and duet session is personalized to your body and needs, so you experience Pilates as a complete, connected system.

We also offer small group mat classes, where students can learn the fundamental shapes and exercises of the work. Mat builds the foundation for everything in Pilates: it’s where you learn to control and strengthen your body before adding the challenge of springs and moving equipment.

Because the apparatus takes time and proper instruction to learn, we don’t offer group equipment classes. Managing multiple experience levels on complex equipment can easily become chaotic and ineffective. Private sessions will always be the best way to experience Pilates, allowing for quicker progression, individual needs, working on all apparatus, and better understanding of the system.

Our goal is to help you experience Pilates as Joseph Pilates intended: a method proven for over a century to strengthen, align, and transform the body. We can’t wait to welcome you and guide you through the Pilates method.
