Precision doesn't
scale.
That's the point.
Every group class at NoVa Pilates is capped at five people. Not because we can't fill a room — because real results require real attention. You will never be lost in the crowd here. You will always be seen.
Classical apparatus work. The foundation of the method, taught with precision.
Wall unit training. Deep spinal work and full-body integration.
The original Pilates method. Strength and control from the ground up.
Traditional strength training methods. Dumbbells 10lbs or more. Get stronger the right way.
Our signature class. Half Pilates, half strength. Thirty minutes each, full results.
Capped at five
Every class has a maximum of five participants. This isn't a boutique gimmick — it's a commitment to the quality of instruction you deserve. Your form will be seen. Your corrections will be given. Every time.
The right preparation
All group classes require completion of the intro private sessions first. This isn't a barrier — it's how we ensure you get the most out of every class from day one. Two privates. Then group. That's the standard.
Membership built for you
Choose from four membership tiers based on how often you want to train — from a single drop-in to 12 classes per month. Every tier comes with a 3-month commitment because consistency is where results live.

Your body.
Your session.
Your results.
Every private session at NoVa Pilates is built around you — your body, your goals, and where you are right now. No template. No generic plan. Just intentional, intelligent training with an instructor who sees exactly what your body needs and knows how to get you there.
Focused. Personal. Unmatched.
A private session is the purest form of the Pilates method. You and Clarissa. Fifty minutes. The full apparatus. Every correction, every cue, every progression is designed specifically for your body in that session.
Whether you are rebuilding strength after an injury, cross-training as an athlete, working through postpartum recovery, or simply wanting to understand your body better — this is where the real work happens.

"Every session uses the full Pilates system — so you're not just working out, you're training your body with intention."Clarissa Shepherd-Hayes · Founder, NoVa Pilates
Duet training brings the intimacy of a private session into a shared space. Train alongside a friend, partner, or family member — the same level of attention and precision, at a more accessible price point. Perfect for moms, couples, or anyone who wants built-in accountability.
