Frequently Asked Questions?

What can I expect during my first visit?

Whether you're joining a group class or a private session, your instructor will take time to learn about your movement experience, any injuries or physical limitations, and your goals.

 

Our approach is rooted in classical Pilates, and even those with previous Pilates experience may discover something new. We'll help you become familiar with the method, the equipment, and the principles that guide our teaching.

Do I need prior Pilates experience?

Not at all. We welcome clients at every level, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Our instructors meet you where you are, offering thoughtful guidance and individual attention.

 

For those interested in group classes, we encourage starting with private lessons to build confidence, become familiar with the equipment, and develop a strong foundation in the classical method.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, fitted clothing that allows you to move freely and gives your instructor a clear view of your alignment. Pilates is traditionally practiced barefoot, although grip socks are welcome.

 

Please avoid clothing with zippers, metal embellishments, or other hardware that could scratch or damage the equipment. We also recommend removing jewelry that may interfere with your movement.

Do you have a cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change. To ensure our instructors' time is respected and appointments remain available to other clients, we kindly ask that you provide advance notice when canceling or rescheduling a session.

 

Cancellations made outside our required notice period may be subject to a late-cancellation fee or forfeiture of the session.

Where are you located?

Winsor Choza Pilates is located at 8336 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles's Beverly Grove neighborhood. Metered and street parking are available nearby.

What type of Pilates do you teach?

We teach authentic Classical Pilates, preserving the original method through a direct lineage of master teachers. Our approach emphasizes precision, control, strength, and the connection between mind and body, using the traditional Pilates apparatus and mat work.

How many sessions should I do each week?

Not at all. We welcome clients at every level, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Our instructors meet you where you are, offering thoughtful guidance and individual attention.

 

For those interested in group classes, we encourage starting with private lessons to build confidence, become familiar with the equipment, and develop a strong foundation in the classical method.

Can I do Pilates if I have an injury or limitation?

In many cases, yes. Classical Pilates can be adapted to accommodate a variety of physical needs and abilities. Our instructors take a thoughtful, individualized approach, modifying exercises when appropriate to support safe and effective movement.

 

If you have an injury or physical limitation, please let us know before your first visit. We may recommend beginning with private instruction, and depending on your condition, clearance from your healthcare provider may be necessary.
