Paradigm Studio is the true definition of what a great community is. Katie, the owner, genuinely inspires and motivates people to become the best version of themselves. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and constantly strive for more. I love joining their online classes.

While visiting NYC from London, I booked a private session with Katie at Paradigm Studio, and it exceeded my expectations ✨
Katie’s passion for Pilates is infectious! Her enthusiasm, clarity, and personalized approach make her an exceptional teacher. She has a remarkable ability to help you find deeper connections in your body and your practice, and I left feeling inspired, challenged, and more confident in my understanding of the method as a student and a teacher.
The studio itself is beautiful, welcoming, and has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting Paradigm Studio and Katie, if you have the chance!

Paradigm is such a warm and welcoming space and one of the instructors, Omil, is especially amazing. While pilates is not always my most consistent form of exercise, she really takes the time to understand what my body needs most and somehow can tell within the first few minutes of working together. Every session feels totally personalized and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. Couldn’t recommend Omil more!

This is a truly wonderful studio — warm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The teachers are all exceptional, creating a supportive and inspiring environment for students of all levels. Katie, in particular, is a master of her craft. Her depth of knowledge, passion, and ability to teach with clarity and care make every class a valuable experience. I always leave feeling uplifted and challenged in the best way. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for quality instruction and a great community.

I've been practicing Pilates with Katie even before she opened Paradigm Studio. I stuck with her when she started Paradigm because 1) she and her team are very knowledgable about classical Pilates, 2) they are excellent teachers and motivators even for someone less skilled and intense about it, like myself. It's hard for me to make it into the studio, but their video offerings have been great as well! I doubt I would have stuck with Pilates if I hadn't found Katie

I love this studio, I have regular sessions with Adele and I feel myself getting stronger each session. I love that they have all the different Pilates machines/apparatuses. Adele is purposeful with her approach, she notices each movement and adeptly corrects my form. Coming out of a back injury, I am so glad I found this place and Adele. I have taken group Pilates in the past and it is so different than the one on one attention at this studio.

I can’t even express the invaluable learning experience that comes from training at Paradigm with Katie. I travel all the way from Los Angeles for both workshops and private lessons and always leave feeling so rich with more knowledge. Katie’s insight on the pilates system and how she shares it through guiding you through movement is truly on of a kind. 10/10 reccomend

As a classical Pilates teacher, I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a workshop led by Katie Yip at Paradigm, where I also spent several days observing and participating in workouts.
Katie’s openness and depth of knowledge offered invaluable insights into both practice and instruction. As a teacher, the time I spent here was enriching, helping me to expand my teaching approach.
The team at Paradigm—Katie, Aubrey, Mia, Laura, and Francesco—are not only highly skilled but also bring a vibrant sense of humor and energy to their classes.
Paradigm stands out for its welcoming community atmosphere. It’s certainly a place where you're encouraged to push your physical limits and connect with like-minded individuals who inspire and challenge you.
For anyone looking to deepen their Pilates practice or find a community that values fitness and personal growth, Paradigm is exceptional. I highly recommend it to both Pilates enthusiasts and professional instructors.

I went to see Katie after getting off a 14 hour flight from Dubai. After leaving I felt renewed and the pain in my neck vanished. The Pilates workouts are tough and smart. Paradigm Studio is a gem on the road to becoming an Upper East Side NYC institution. I highly recommend Katie and her team.

As an instructor, I’m picky with where I take classes or privates, and Paradigm had been on my list for a while of places I wanted to take classes or privates at. Mia has really challenged me, inspired me, and aligned me in our sessions. Not only do I feel amazing after our sessions, I’m inspired to teach. I can’t recommend Paradigm or Mia enough!

I really enjoyed attending Katie's Lower Back Injuries and Application workshop last month. Katie is super knowledgeable and broke everything down into manageable chunks. We covered a lot of material and I'm looking forward to putting what I learnt into practice. I will definitely be back for more workshops!

Katie Yip is the best! On her training weekends not only will you learn more about the subject of the workshop but you will also learn more about your own practice and instructing skills. I highly recommend any instructor to take a workshop for Katie Yip!

I’ve been taking lessons with Katie Yip for two years, and in that time I’ve seen incredible results. Katie has created an environment of positivity and professionalism that fosters confidence and change. Her commitment to and enthusiasm for the Pilates method is so inspiring, and though the workouts are ultra-challenging, they’re also lots of fun! When I first started lessons with Katie, I was suffering from chronic hip pain. I’m now stronger and more flexible than I’ve ever been, as well as pain-free.
Last year I moved out of state but have continued to take lessons and classes with Katie virtually, which has been great. The amount of nuance she can spot through the screen is magical. Don’t miss the opportunity to train at Paradigm, whether in-person or virtually!

What you get at Paradigm is the Classical Pilates experience specially curated for each unique individual, their body, experience level, and patterns. I have the privilege of learning from Laura and Katie. Every session is challenging and rich with information and feels like a workout with great attention to detail and fine-tuning. I highly recommend this studio whether you are new to the method or a seasoned practitioner.

I've been going to Paradigm Studio for years now on a friend's recommendation. Meeting Katie Yip has been one of the highlights of the pandemic. She has forever changed my life and body with her Pilates instruction and approach to life. Katie is a beautiful person inside and out who truly loves what she does. She is incredibly intellectual, sharp, and wants to make sure her students are learning and having fun. I've also been training with Laura Gunder who's fantastic. I cannot recommend Paradigm enough.

Paradigm is a warm and inviting studio that packs a whole lot of punch. Katie has created something truly special within her walls and to workout with her is an invaluable experience. In addition to offering incredible Pilates workouts, Katie offers Pilates workshops that instill practical knowledge and experience into the instructors lucky enough to learn from her. Though there are many Pilates studios to choose from in NYC, this studio is not to be missed. Whether a new student or seasoned Pilates practitioner, Katie (and her studio) will meet you where you are at in your practice to challenge you in body and mind.

I have been attending online classes with Katie for the past few months and recently attended an in person workshop at Paradigm. Katie really knows how to challenge a person in the right way and when I work with her I feel like I am truly able to squeeze all the juice out of an exercise. Even the most basic exercises feel challenging when I am working with her which I absolutely love! On top of that she is just a lovely person overall. If you are looking for a studio but aren’t sure where to go out of the plethora of Pilates studios in NYC, I can’t recommend Paradigm enough!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Katie at Paradigm Studio. She is incredibly knowledgeable and makes the workout fun, interesting and tailored to my body specifically. I’ve never met someone who knows and understands the Pilates repertoire as well as Katie, and yet she delivers it in a fun, lighthearted manner! I would definitely recommend a visit to Paradigm Studio!
