New Client Entry

All new clients begin here.

Your entry begins with a private introductory session with Laura Shearer, followed by one week of Guided Studio sessions.

The private session allows us to assess how you move and introduce you to the classical Pilates system.

In the days that follow, you will begin practicing within the Guided Studio environment, working through your individualized program with ongoing observation and instruction.

This initial week gives you a clear experience of the rhythm and structure of the studio—and whether this method of training is the right fit.

At the end of the week, we will determine the membership option that best supports your continued progress.

Targeted one-on-one instruction for assessment, refinement, or specific needs within the classical system.

Designed to support integration into the broader studio practice.
