Rate Increase for Pilates private and Duet sessions

Dear friends,

I am writing to inform you that I will be increasing my Pilates private and duet rates, effective October 2025.

My new rates are still better than all the Pilates studios I know on the West Coast.  Besides I hope you are learning from the best.  I truly believe that.

If you are just getting to know me – I have been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and have learned from the best of the best including Jay Grimes, a Pilates elder who learned from Joe Pilates himself.  I am also unique as I have an extensive background in Yoga, both SmartFLOW and Anusara and I am also a certified personal trainer.  And most important, I do practice what I preach:) and continue to also be the student which I feel is very important if you want to continue to teach.

I honor my teaching responsibility which is to honor the students’ body in front of me!  I hope you feel  cared for, and that you are getting the results that you desire. 

Of course I do not want this to ‘stretch your wallet’ so much that you can no longer practice with me so please reach out to me personally to discuss if needed. 

The biggest increase in my fees will be the duet rates.  Right now I am charging $45/55min and I am increasing this to $60/55min.  My private rate will be increasing to $90/55minute.  Zoom classes will be the same $80/55min.

I will not be increasing my group Pilates mat class nor my group Yoga class rate at this time.  I also would like you to consider these classes if you have not already.  They are a wonderful way to practice what we do in the private classes and also encourage more body awareness to enhance your optimal body alignment.

Here are some other things I  considered when making my decision:

1 – I have recently invested in new equipment including a new reformer, new contrology/gratz foldable mats as well as flooring.

2 – i have and continue to invest in my continued education.  Right now I currently studying with Annie carpenter with SmartFLOW yoga and I also continue bi-weekly lessons with a collegue of mine, Nicole Martin who is in San Diego at Ritual Pilates.

3 – Seattle is an expensive place to live. I have a daughter in college and 2 more still  at home.
