Sarah teaches every Initial Consultation, every small group class, and every private session at Avera Pilates. Working with the same expert every time means your experience is personal and continuous. Sarah knows your body, your history, and makes sure you’re progressing from session to session.
Every journey starts with an Initial Consultation. From there, you can move into small group or private Pilates sessions depending on what your body needs and what Sarah recommends.

How to work with Sarah
Initial Consultations
This is your personalised starting point. Just you and Sarah for a 60 minute session. She’ll assess your posture and movement, understand your history and goals, and figure out what your body needs from Pilates. Then Sarah builds your personalised program with key milestones to achieve your goals.
Small Group 3:1 Sessions
Personalised Pilates sessions with a maximum of two other people. Sarah programs each session around who's in the room that day. You get Sarah’s expert attention tailored to your body and a blend of mobility, stability and full-body strength using professional equipment.
Private 1:1 Sessions
Get Sarah’s complete focus for an entire Pilates session. Ideal for injury rehab and faster progress. Or simply if you prefer a one-on-one experience. You’ll receive detailed, hands on guidance that’s tailored to your individual needs.

Sessions FAQ
-
Absolutely not. Sarah loves working with beginners. Your Initial Consultation will walk you through everything, the equipment, how sessions work, what to expect. You won't be expected to know anything walking in, and you won't feel behind or out of place. Everyone starts somewhere.
-
Because every body is different, and Sarah needs to understand yours before she can personalise your Pilates journey. Your history, your injuries, your movement patterns are all key considerations. The Initial Consultation is how Sarah makes sure your time at Avera is genuinely useful from the very first session.
It also means you won't arrive at a class feeling lost or unsure. You'll already know the equipment, understand how Sarah works, and have a program that's been built with your body in mind.
