Private Pilates Sessions in Davis

In private sessions, you work one-on-one with me. I choose exercises from the full classical Pilates system based on how you move and what you want to work on. As you get to know your sequence, I give you direct feedback and build on what you’ve learned from one session to the next.

Private sessions are a good fit if you’re new to Pilates, returning to exercise after time away, or looking to deepen an existing practice.

Meet Your Instructor, Laura Shearer

I’ve taught Pilates in Davis since 2001 and opened Lift Pilates in 2003. I studied Contrology directly with Jay Grimes, who trained with Joseph Pilates, and continue my mentorship with Wade Edwell of Proper Pilates in Australia.

In a private lesson, I can watch how you move from one repetition to the next, give you a specific correction, and see how it changes the exercise. That close attention helps me decide what to revisit and when to add something new.

“Lift Pilates was my first experience with one-on-one instruction in a Pilates Studio that was not physical therapy. Laura Shearer is a fantastic instructor.”
