Core Collective Sessions

Our Core Collective Sessions are an elevated semi-private Pilates experience, limited to four participants, blending individualized attention with the energy of a small group. Each mixed-apparatus session is shaped by decades of study and world-class mentorship, and developed in partnership with a physical therapist to ensure programming that is intelligent, safe, and exceptionally well taught.

Find Your Best Beginning

At our boutique studios on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and in East Hampton, we’ll help you find the right path into Pilates, one that suits your experience, your goals, and your body.

New to Pilates? Start with the Essential Five.

If you have no prior Pilates experience, we highly recommend beginning with our Essential Five: five Private Pilates sessions at a deeply discounted rate.

These sessions give you time to learn the foundational principles and become familiar with the apparatus in a private setting. You’ll be better prepared to join our semi-private classes with confidence—and ready to get even more from your experience.

After your private sessions, we encourage new students to take three to five Core Collective Essentials sessions. These intimate, semi-private sessions help reinforce what you’ve begun learning before you move on to more advanced Core Collective Sessions offerings.

Have some Pilates experience? Try the Signature Start.

If you have prior Pilates experience, our Signature Start is a great way to begin. It includes one Private Pilates session and two Core Collective Sessions—our signature, intimately sized semi-private classes.

Expertly led on authentic, hand-crafted Pilates apparatus, including the Reformer, Cadillac, and Chair, these sessions offer a welcoming introduction to the studio and our approach.

A seasoned Pilates practitioner? Begin with the Intro Pack.

If you’re an experienced Pilates practitioner, you’re welcome to start with our Intro Pack. It’s a chance to try several Core Collective Sessions formats, discover what best supports your body and goals, and get to know the studio.

Not sure where to begin? We’re always happy to guide you toward the studio experience that’s right for you. Please contact our front desk with any questions.

Restore and Radiate: PURE Restoration

Our most innovative experience

Working Level: Open Level

A blissfully supportive, semi-private session designed to help you unwind, reset, and feel quietly radiant from the inside out. We begin with gentle, grounding Pilates on the Cadillac, using arm and leg springs to create a feeling of buoyant support and spacious strength. Expect delicious movement options like push-through series for spinal decompression and shoulder opening, plus light inversions such as a half-hang (feet in fuzzies) to soothe the back, invite circulation, and offer a calm, held sense of release, always tailored to your body and comfort level.

Throughout, you’ll be cocooned on the HigherDOSE PEMF mat, layering the practice with deep restorative support. We then transition into recovery-focused bodywork using foam rollers, pinky balls, and Hyperice massage guns to melt tension and improve tissue hydration and mobility. The session concludes with a guided body-scan meditation, gentle breathwork to quiet the nervous system, optional essential oil therapy, and a soothing eye mask, so you leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and restored.
