Every class states its pace, its level and who it suits. Not sure where to start? We decide together at your first class.
The reformer room, morning light
Reformer Pilates
Machine · 8 people · 50 min
Controlled, breath led work with spring resistance and a gliding carriage. Basics shows you the machine step by step; Flow lifts the pace a little.
Mat Pilates
Mat · 12 people · 45 min
Core focused work with your own body weight, small balls and bands. A good place to learn the foundations before the reformer.
Yoga
Yin, Hatha, Vinyasa · 14 people · 60 min
Yin moves through long, quiet holds, Hatha focuses on breath and alignment, and Vinyasa links poses into a flow. The pace of each style is on the timetable.
Private and duet
By appointment · 1 or 2 people · 50 min
A session built around you, at your speed. Pick a time from the teacher's calendar, or share a duet session with a friend.

Our approach
Descriptions, not promises
01
Small groups
A reformer class has as many people as machines. The teacher sees everyone and cues stay personal.
02
Honest class descriptions
We describe what a class involves, its pace and who it suits, not what it will fix.
03
Health questions go to a professional
If you have a health condition, are pregnant or have a recent injury, please check with your doctor or physiotherapist first. Our classes are not a treatment.
04
Light and quiet
Daylight, natural wood and a simple order in both rooms. Phones stay in the changing room.
First class
Your first visit in four steps
Never done Pilates or yoga before? That's fine; the intro class exists for exactly that.
The mat is down, the light is on. Just turn up.
Step 1
Choose an intro class
Pick a class marked Beginner on the timetable, or send the form and we'll suggest a time.
Step 2
Fill in a short form
Tell us about anything that may affect how you move; if needed, we'll ask you to get professional advice first.
Step 3
Arrive 15 minutes early
Wear comfortable, fitted clothes and bring grip socks. Mats and towels are at the studio.
Step 4
Decide together afterwards
After class, talk to your teacher about which class type and pack suit you.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Can't find your answer? Write to us and we'll try to reply the same day.
What is the difference between reformer and mat Pilates?
A reformer is a machine with spring resistance and a sliding carriage; it both supports and challenges each movement. Mat Pilates is done on the floor with your own body weight and small equipment. Both follow the same principles, and we talk about where to start at your first class.
I've never done it. Which class should I start with?
We suggest Reformer Basics, Mat Pilates or Hatha yoga, all marked Beginner on the timetable. In the intro class your teacher shows you the machine and the basic movements step by step.
The class looks full. What can I do?
Join the waiting list. When someone cancels, the next person is notified and the spot opens for them. You then have one hour to confirm it.
I have back or neck pain. Can I join classes?
Please speak to your doctor or physiotherapist first. Our classes are not a treatment and we don't claim they will resolve a condition. If your practitioner is happy for you to take part, tell your teacher, and movements will be adapted.
What happens if I don't use my credits?
Each pack shows its validity before you buy. You can pause the Regular pack once, and up to two unused membership credits roll over to the next month. Expired credits are generally not refunded; the details are in our terms.
