We offer low-impact, results-driven, mat Pilates classes for all levels – beginner, intermediate, advanced, prenatal, postnatal, and everyone in between. Our classes fall within 6 class categories:

1. Foundations – For any pilates newbies, and those looking for a more gentle workout. Move slowly and consciously, learn and master the basics of pilates-based movement.
2. Full Body – The quintessential PBB workout. You will move, strengthen, tone, and sculpt your entire body. Plus, find length in some of those sticky, tight areas.
3. Quickies – Short, sharp, targeted classes that can be tacked onto another workout, stacked on top of one another, or taken solo if you're short on time or energy.
4. Prenatal – Safely and effectively strengthen, tone, and stretch your beautiful pregnant body.
5. Postnatal – Ease your body and mind back into light yet productive movement. They are suitable if you are at least 6 weeks postpartum and have had Mummy MOT clearance.
6. Stretch – Release muscle tension and mobilise your body through a sequence of deep, satisfying stretches.
