I don't have a lot of experience with Pilates.  Is NVP Studio for me?

Yes, all levels are welcome!    First off, NVP Studio offers more than just Pilates classes.  I also teach barre classes and fitness-inspired flows.  My philosophy is that Pilates exercises can be modified depending on your experience and fitness level.  For beginners, I give different options for some of the more challenging excises.  As you become stronger and more experienced, you will be able to go deeper, use heavier weights, and have a better awareness of the movements.  And, of course, I recommend that  you consult with a physician before starting any new exercise regimen.

​​

Do I need to use props?

While I use props in many of the workouts, most of the classes can be done with just your body weight or with common, household items such as cans or jugs of water for weights, or a dining room chair as a barre.  I also have workouts that are geared toward specific equipment or props, such as reformer classes, stability ball, foam roller, etc.  

​

What props do you recommend?

I recommend the following props:

• Barre (I use the BootyKicker barre).  You can use also use a dining room chair instead

• Ankle weights (use code NATALIA for discount)

• Flex cords or resistance bands (use code NATALIA for discount)

• Egg Weights (use code NATALIA for discount)

• Light weights (3 lbs.)

• Medium weights (5-10 lbs.)

• Pilates ball (9 inch)

• Stability ball (size depends on your height.  I am 5'6" and use  a 55-65 cm. ball)

• Loop bands 

• Foam roller

• Pilates mat (thicker than a standard yoga mat)

​

How often do I add classes to NVP Studio?

I release at least 1 new workout every Monday at 4 a.m., AST.  

 

​How does the 7-day free trial work?

​

Does my subscription automatically renew?

Yes.

 

Can I cancel at any time?
