Classes
Three classes, one calm approach
Every class is taught in a small group with clear instructions and options for different bodies and experience. Read the descriptions and suitability notes to find your starting point.
Start here
Beginner Mat
A slower class for people who are new to Pilates or returning after a break. We cover breathing, posture set-up and the core moves step by step, with options to make each exercise easier or harder. You work on a mat with small props such as a soft ball, a band and a cushion.
- 50 minutes
- Up to 10 people
- Mats and props provided
Suitable for
- New to Pilates, or new to exercise classes
- Returning after a long break
- Anyone who likes clear, step-by-step teaching
Good to know: Tell your instructor before class about any injury, pregnancy or health condition so they can suggest options. If you are unsure whether Pilates suits you, check with your GP or physiotherapist first.
All levels
Reformer
The reformer is a sliding carriage with adjustable springs and straps. The springs can support a movement or add resistance, so the same exercise can be lighter or more challenging. Each class starts with a short set-up so you know how to use the machine safely, and the instructor helps with springs and footbar settings.
- 50 minutes
- Up to 6 people
- Grip socks needed
Suitable for
- People who have tried Pilates and want to build on it
- Newcomers who prefer a smaller group and more guidance
- Anyone curious about equipment-based Pilates
Good to know: If it is your first time on a reformer, arrive 10 minutes early for a short introduction to the machine. Let us know about any injury, pregnancy or health condition before you book a place.
Gentle
Mobility
A calm class that moves the joints through a comfortable range: spine, hips, shoulders and ankles. Expect gentle flowing sequences, supported stretches and breathing. It is a good partner to a Mat or Reformer class, or a quieter way to start or end the week.
- 45 minutes
- Up to 10 people
- Mats and props provided
Suitable for
- Anyone who wants a gentle, low-pressure class
- People who sit a lot during the day
- Regulars who want a lighter session between classes
Good to know: Move only as far as feels comfortable. Tell your instructor about any injury or health condition so they can offer other positions.
