Suzette believes you have to love the body you live in. And she's proved that by focusing on total wellness of body and mind you can truly age gracefully. At 62 years old, she's proving it. Suzette was born in Chingola, Zambia and trained in Europe and New York City to become a professional dancer.
In-studio Pilates sessions include use of state-of-the-art equipment, a customized workout, and individual attention so you can make bigger progress toward your goals. Tone and lengthen muscles and develop deep core strength. In private Zoom sessions, real-time feedback from your instructor means you'll maintain correct position and mechanics so that you work smarter, not harder.
We can't wait to travel safely again with you in the future! We enjoyed our week at Pranamar Villas, a beautiful & intimate boutique retreat center perfectly situated on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Healthy, delicious food combined with serene accommodations made for the ultimate wellness escape.

Illysa at SIPilates is a wonderful and charming teacher who has helped me overcome my hip misalignments and gotten me back into walking and cycling
by strengthening my muscles. I'm very lucky that Suzette brought me to her!

Suzette and the team at Shelter Island Pilates and Barre are amazing. I first went to Suzette long ago when I was pregnant and then I moved to Shelter during the pandemic and started attending her zoom classes and then private sessions. She helped me get focused on my body again after such a long time of working remote on my computer. It alleviated my stress during such a crazy time. She is a living embodiment of how amazing you can look and feel as you age when you focus on yourself. Love her!

Suzette & Shelter Island Pilates have helped me in so many ways. Throughout Covid-19, Suzette has been offering Zoom classes 3-4 X per week. She started them immediately once the pandemic hit and they have been a lifeline for the community and a chance for us to connect. She has helped me stay in shape, build muscle, strengthen and stretch and she has helped my mind stay grounded. She has a positive and spiritual nature that is beautiful and strong. I look forward to my classes with her.

I think Suzette is the best in the business. She puts 120% of her energy into every class she teaches, and her technique is impeccable. Her foundation in dance provides a discipline and attention to form that is both helpful and inspiring. She also provides ways of thinking about and caring for your body that stay with you! Her studios are both incredibly gorgeous spaces. We are lucky to have her on Shelter Island!

The owner Suzette is so knowledgeable and professional. I have been in the fitness business over 20 years and she still stumps me. Hard work , but many options in cueing layers for beginners

The owner, Suzette, is a master teacher and a real healer. She will look at your body and tell you where your weakness are and how to fix them. Listen to what she says because she's always right and you will age better and look better! She has really helped me get results. I love doing pilates with her & her staff and I love her barre classes too. I like them better than other bar classes-- the flow of exercises is better, you don't overwork your quads, the music is better and not as insanely loud and the instructors don't scream at you which is my pet peeve. Everything is clean and beautiful too

I have been working with Suzette Smith of Shelter Island Pilates for years and have never felt better about my whole self. Suzette is very knowledgeable about the body and what needs to be worked on to keep it strong and aligned. Taking Pilates throughout my recent pregnancy helped me and my baby to stay healthy, not to mention how her guidance is getting my post-partum core back in shape. Her Zumba classes are the best!
