We're Educators, Not Just Instructors

Here, it's just you and someone who actually knows what they're doing. They see everything—how you move, where you're compensating, what needs work. And they can switch up the equipment, the exercises, everything, based on what your body's telling them that day.

But here's the thing: a huge part of the workout is teaching you about how your body actually works. We want you to understand why you're doing what you're doing, so you're using your body correctly—not just going through the motions.

No "hope I'm doing this right." No guessing. Just real learning and real results.

We've Got All the Toys

Reformer. Cadillac. Wunda Chair. Ladder Barrel. Spine Corrector. Resistance bands, magic circles, foam rollers—you name it.

Why does this matter? Because your body isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither should your workout be. Having all this equipment means we can find exactly what clicks for you. Some days you need the reformer. Some days the chair is perfect for what you're working on. We figure it out together.

What to Expect

Honestly? It's pretty chill. Boutique studio, good vibes, solid tunes playing. You walk in, it's just you—no crowd, no audience, no feeling like everyone's watching you struggle.

Your instructor's going to be friendly, actually explain what you're doing and why, and adjust things if something feels off. We're not drill sergeants. We're more like that friend who happens to be really, really good at Pilates and wants to help you feel better.

Testimonials

I've been going to Jessica at Emerald City Pilates for almost 5 years. I really like that classes are 1x1, which means we can focus on what works best for me. I had shoulder pain for a few years, but with regular visits to Jess, and by doing the "take-home" exercises she taught, that pain has gone away over time. Jess is also fun and energetic, and very knowledgeable about the human body. So glad I found this place!

Mandakini Saroop
I have a weekly appointment here that I look forward to from the moment the previous session is over. It's my happy place. I get a solid core workout, stretch all the unhappy tight spots, and usually laugh as well because Jessica is hilarious! I would do two appointments a week if I had the time. The location is close to 99 and parking is easy, making it basically painless for me to get there from West Seattle.

Paul Midgen
I had a great session with Hali! I have taken Pilates with her many times, but this was my first time in this beautiful space. She is very attentive and personalizes her sessions to meet your individual needs and goals. This session in particular we had a break through with my alignment, and she helped me discover better form so I can do the exercises more comfortably. I am so grateful for her support and dedication in her teaching. I will definitely be coming back!

Megan Erickson
Jessica creates a comfortable environment for people to start Pilates, and made it so that I want to keep progressing and getting stronger.

Sadie Gilliland
I found Jessica after my spine specialist recommended 1:1 pilates to work on my deep core. When she first saw me, my lower back pain was so bad that I had trouble sitting -- but after a few months of regular classes I've learnt to move better, and it's like I now have a scientific manual of how my body works. Would recommend for those suffering from lower back pain/ spine injury rehab!

Yumi Obuchi
Emerald City Pilates has helped my ribs pain and lower back pain so much. I was in a car crash that resulted in ribs injury 2 years ago. My chest and left shoulder hurts when I need to sit and stand for a long time, and I feel much better after the sessions. The instructors are well experienced, and I really like how private the studio is
