Experience Personalised Pilates from the Comfort of Your Home
Online Pilates offers the flexibility to enjoy professional instruction wherever you are. Whether you’re working from home, travelling, or simply prefer exercising in your own space, deBlaca Pilates provides live online sessions that are every bit as supportive and personalised as those in the studio.
Using Zoom, you’ll receive real-time guidance, demonstrations, and individual feedback throughout your session, ensuring that exercises are performed safely and effectively. Each class is tailored to your goals, allowing you to continue building strength, improving posture, and increasing flexibility without the need to travel.
Live Zoom Sessions
All online sessions are delivered live via Zoom, giving you the opportunity to work directly with your instructor in real time.
Unlike pre-recorded workouts, live classes allow for:
- Personalised instruction
- Immediate feedback and corrections
- Progressions suited to your ability
- Modifications for injuries or physical limitations
- Opportunity to ask questions throughout your session
- Motivation and accountability
Whether you’re attending an individual session or joining a small online group, you’ll receive the same attention to detail that is central to every deBlaca Pilates class.
What Equipment Will I Need?
One of the advantages of online Pilates is that very little equipment is required to get started.
A comfortable exercise space and a Pilates or yoga mat are all you need for most sessions.
If you have access to additional equipment, it can be incorporated into your programme, including:
- Resistance bands
- Small Pilates ball
- Magic Circle
- Light hand weights
- Foam roller
- Yoga blocks
- Cushion or folded towel for support
If you don’t already own any Pilates equipment, your instructor can recommend simple and affordable options that suit your individual programme. Exercises can also be adapted using everyday household items where appropriate.
Setting Up Your Camera
A good camera position helps your instructor observe your movement and provide accurate guidance throughout the session.
Before your class:
- Position your device so your full body can be seen while standing and lying on the mat.
- Place your laptop, tablet, or phone on a stable surface.
- Ensure the room is well lit, with light coming from in front of you rather than behind.
- Leave enough space to move freely in all directions.
- Test your internet connection and Zoom audio before your appointment.
Don’t worry if you’re new to online classes—your instructor will help you get set up before your first session.
