Lausanne
Pilates teacher in Lausanne
Lausanne is a city built on a slope, and that shapes coaching here more than anything else. Sessions run from the lakeside at Ouchy and the sports grounds at Vidy up through Montchoisi to Chalet-à-Gobet at around 870 metres — which in practice means two seasons rather than one. Down by the water the season stretches from spring well into autumn; up above the city, conditions and facilities carry you through the months when the lakeside is unusable.
The city also has an unusually international population for its size, between the university, the EPFL and the sporting bodies headquartered here. Most of our coaches in Lausanne work in French and English, and a good number in German — tell us in the notes which you prefer and we will take it into account when we arrange your session.
Mat or equipment
Mat Pilates happens anywhere and needs almost nothing. Reformer and equipment work happens in a studio and costs more, but it is considerably more effective for rehabilitation and for anyone who struggles to feel the right muscles working. Say which you want, or describe your situation and we will advise.
The desk-worker problem
A large share of Pilates bookings here come from people who sit ten hours a day and have finally noticed what it has done to their hips and shoulders. That is exactly what the method was built for, and progress over eight or ten sessions is usually obvious.

Common questions
How is it different from yoga?
Pilates is more structured and more focused on core strength, control and alignment. Yoga generally covers more ground, including breath and stillness. Neither is better; they answer different questions.
I have a back injury. Can I still do it?
Often it is precisely why people start. Tell us the diagnosis in the notes, and if you are in active treatment bring your physiotherapist's guidance so your teacher works within it.
How many sessions before I notice anything?
Most people feel a difference in how they move within four to six sessions. Anyone promising faster than that is selling something.
