INDIVIDUALIZED PRIVATE SESSIONS
Individualized sessions just for you!
Queer Body Pilates centers queer and trans folx. However, you don't need to claim these identities to work with me privately. I understand and approach "queer" not just as a label pertaining to gender identity and sexuality but also the action of queering: to question, reorient, and make strange. If you have a bodily experience of non-normativity, these offerings are intended to celebrate you.
All sessions will include verbalized anatomical information and guiding imagery. In-person sessions will also include offerings of consensual touch and props to provide additional support and feedback.
As you read on, Mat options are listed first and Reformer options are listed second.

ONE-ON-ONE REFORMER QUEER BODY PILATES
Reformers are the original Pilates equipment invented by Joseph Pilates. I love them because they facilitate a unique sense of full body connectivity and they give movers amazing, subtle feedback about where they are and what they are doing. Also, working on a moving surface with resistance is just super fun and facilitates new, often delightfully surprising embodied pathways. Movement is low impact and kind to the joints.
Reformer sessions are an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, find joy, and, well, sweat! Private clients also receive complimentary access to QBP's extensive online library of group Mat class recordings.

Need support navigating a new or imminently shifting relationship with your bod? Want to strengthen your core and practice balance and moving between lying, sitting, and standing for ease of movement during recovery?
Experiencing chronic pain due to years of binding? This may manifest as shallow breathing, an overall feeling of tension, limited range of motion in the trunk, and/or chronic injuries.
Want to regain mobility and strength after surgery or build up your mobility and strength in preparation?
Basically, let’s figure it out. I gotchu. Private clients also receive complimentary access to QBP's extensive online library of group class recordings.
This 1:1 option is provided at a lower cost to support your unique needs during your preparation and recovery. Do know that I may need to communicate with your surgeon, PT, care team, or other medical providers. Must be 1-6 months post to attend post-op.

PRE- AND POST-GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY REFORMER PILATES
It's the above. But on a Reformer! This equipment is great for low-impact exercises that strengthen the body's stabilizing muscles pre- and post-op. And the spring tension can provide an amazing support system to ease back into movement after surgery. It doesn't just resist; it also assists!

A NOTE ON COST:
Each class has a unique sliding scale. The low end of the sliding scale is intended for those pre/post-op, BIPOC, and those without a financial safety net who couldn't otherwise access Pilates.
The high end is for those who are able to invest such resources into this exchange, supporting QBP and subsidizing classes for those who need to pay less.
Please be honest about what you can afford.
