Yes. Queer Body Pilates is the business Sofia Engelman leads, at queerbodypilates.com, with privates and group classes such as Mat Pilates for the Revolution, in person and on Zoom.
Who are the classes for, and is Pilates experience needed?
Classes center queer and trans people, allies are welcome, and most need no prior Pilates experience.
How does the sliding scale work across the group formats?
Each format carries its own scale. The Wednesday Zoom series costs $90-210 for six weeks, which works out to $15-35 a class, and Trio Classes in Downtown Brooklyn run $180-260 for four weeks, or $45-65 a class. Tuesday afternoons in Tribeca are the exception: a flat $18 drop in with no series attached. That $18 class is the lowest outlay for trying Sofia's teaching before committing to a block.
Which days does Sofia Engelman teach groups, and where?
Wednesday mornings on Zoom, 8:15-9am Eastern, sold as a six-week commitment. Trio Classes meet in Downtown Brooklyn on Wednesdays at 12pm and Thursdays at 9am in four-week blocks. Tuesday's 2-3:15pm class runs at Gibney 280 in Tribeca through Movement Research in August, September and December 2026.

How would you describe Sofia Engelman's teaching style?
Her classes get described as both sweaty and contemplative. The approach is gender-affirming, anti-racist and trauma-informed, drawing on Joseph Pilates' classical teachings, kinesiology, queer theory and modern dance.
