Yaletown Pilates - The Studio

Offering

Classical Pilates

1:1 sessions in a private setting

Private Sessions

The PIlates method was never created for group learning and is most effective with individual sessions. Yaletown Pilates only offers private 1:1 sessions to help maximize the learning benefits and integrate the Pilates fundamentals to deepen and advance ones practice. Within the comfort of our private setting, clients benefit from individual attention to receive the full learning benefits without intimidation.

Classical Teachings

Classical Pilates, originally called "Contrology" by its creator Joseph Pilates, stays true to his original teachings, without adaptations. It emphasizes precise, detailed movements, appealing to clients who value focus and accuracy. The term "Contrology" is gaining popularity in Classical Pilates to distinguish it from the myriad of modern variations and morphed group classes now offered.

Reviews

  • "I cannot rave enough about this place! I came to Vancouver for an extended period of time for work and Kulvinder was a godsend. I love her attention to detail and her singular focus on making you the best version that you can be. In my case, she whipped me into the best shape of my life. More importantly, she makes sure you don’t get injured and she coaxed flexibility out of my body which really is made out of wood. I was also thankful for her recommendation to look into gyrotonic practice which I still do to this day and is a game changer. As soon I as I get back to Vancouver I’m heading straight back in there. Don’t bother going if you’re lazy or unmotivated. Stay home. No teacher deserves that, especially Kulvinder. Highly recommend."

  • “It's been two years since I joined Yaletown Pilates, and I've had an incredible experience working with Kulvinder. Her vast experience shines through in the personalized attention she gives during one-on-one sessions. She teaches the original form of Pilates, which is challenging yet truly effective. I've noticed remarkable improvements in my posture, gait, and overall body strength. Even with just two hours a week, I've seen a significant transformation in my strength and flexibility. The training routine is thoughtfully mixed to deliver the best results, targeting areas that need improvement. I highly recommend Pilates to anyone and wholeheartedly endorse Kulvinder at Yaletown Pilates.”

  • "I've worked with Kulvinder at Yaletown Pilates for nearly 9 years and can't say enough about her knowledge of anatomy and dealing with aches and pains from sport injuries and general aging. Pilates is a functional activity good for all ages and abilities and can be complementary to extremely physically active individuals or beneficial for aging due to the functionality of the exercises. I highly recommend Kulvinder at Yaletown!"

  • “Before meeting Kulvinder the only thing I knew about Pilates was that it was a fancy way of stretching. After just a few sessions I noticed the real value of Pilates; my back felt great, I could feel an improvement in my elasticity and I started gaining strength in certain muscles I didn't know I even used. Kulvinder is a great instructor; helping you to challenge your limitations while educating you about the benefits of Pilates. Needless to say, it is a great experience!”

  • “Kulvinder has made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. She is patient and thorough, focusing not only on the exercises, but on proper alignment, posture and form. In the few weeks that I have been practising, I feel stronger, more flexible and my posture has improved. I would highly recommend Yaletown Pilates for anyone starting out, or anyone who is advanced and looking to go further with their practice.”

  • “I started Pilates with Kulvinder back in 2014, never having tried it, and with terrible posture and back pain. She took my body through a complete transformation, reducing my pain to almost zero, helping me gain strength, stand taller, and overall feel better. Kulvinder is a true expert in her craft, which is clear from her instruction and the experience you get working with her. Her sessions are tailored to your needs and skill level, and she takes the time to explain everything thoroughly so that you can get the most out of each movement and exercise.”

  • "I started Pilates at age 74. I thought that it would likely be good for improving flexibility and strength but I didn’t really know what I was getting into. I chose Kulvinder from the internet because she seemed serious about her profession and her studio was within walking distance. After the first (private) session I wondered “am I going to be able to do this?” I kept returning and by the 4th session I felt that I could indeed pursue this practice with enthusiasm. Kulvinder is so knowledgeable about the body and can lead you through the movements in such detail, layering your progress gradually. I am in my 2nd year and feel that Pilates has made me stronger, more balanced, and in good shape for my age. I enjoy my sessions with Kulvinder. We continue to work hard but have some laughs and she is so encouraging."

  • "I first began sessions with Kulvinder in September and have had only good experiences. I expected Pilates to be similar to yoga but I quickly learned it was very different. Pilates is a blend of strength, precise full body movements and some stretching. Kulvinder provides easy to understand explanations about the anatomy behind every exercise. She is patient and will ensure you have a strong understand of each exercise, both machine and on the mat. After one lesson I already saw improvements in my daily life. I felt noticeably more open with higher flexibility and better ranges of motion. As someone who also does martial arts, I found the strength and flexibility I gained in Kulvinder’s sessions made me a better fighter. Overall, I highly recommend her sessions. You’ll come out of them more disciplined, stronger and flexible."

  • "I started with Kulvinder at Yaletown Pilates and enjoyed the challenge of working with and feeling my whole body and being connected with my breath. I had no idea of how powerful Pilates really could be. Kulvinder has a calm way yet powerful way of connecting with you and guiding you to become one with your body and working with it where it is "in this moment" so you can learn and do Pilates for maximum benefit. Whether you are a newcomer to Pilates, or a seasoned practitioner, I would recommend seeing Kulvinder at Yaletown Pilates. Your mind and body will thank you."

  • "I tried Pilates equipment work for the first time a few weeks ago and was hooked! Not only did I get an amazing workout, I left feeling energized and invigorated. I've always had a difficult time strengthening my abs and have had mild chronic back pain for years. However, I have already noticed a significant difference after just a few sessions. I highly recommend it!"
