Group Classes

We offer group classes for beginners as prepaid blocks of 6 – 10 weeks and as 10-week blocks for ongoing classes. Unless specified, all options are open to all genders aged 18 years+

Pilates is primarily a floor-based exercise form; you should be able to get on and off the floor without assistance. If you have any doubts about your suitability, please get in touch with us for advice.

If you have any health problems or injuries that prevent you from leading an everyday life. Or taking part in regular exercise, you should only book into a group class if you have been checked by a health professional first. Or book an individual (1:1) assessment to ensure our classes meet your needs.

We are experienced in running private groups, corporate classes (live and virtual), and wellbeing and stress reduction retreats; please get in touch to discuss your needs.

Themes and descriptions

The fundamentals: This session will focus on the fundamentals to ensure you get a safe and effective pilates class.

Backs & hips: if you experience back or stiffness, soreness, or feel you lack strength, this class will help you discover the connection between your back and hips and wake up the muscles of your torso (the “core”); while you learn the Pilates exercises to address these increasingly common problems.

Shoulders and necks: Tense, tight, grumpy muscles are the bane of many folks’ lives. This class will focus on developing a curious awareness of held muscular tension and how to let it go with Pilates-based movement to find ease in movement and deepen your practice to get dynamically strong.

Strong and long: following the fundamentals session, let’s build a whole body class: on the mat, sitting, and getting vertical.

Progressions and challenges: some physical, others mental to build endurance. We will use flowing combinations and small equipment.

Please note: These classes are not suitable for people with acute injuries or pain.
