Build strength from the ground up

Looking for mat Pilates that feels intentional, effective and deeply connective? Grounded is our signature mat Pilates class designed to build strength, control and stability from the ground up.

Rooted in the precision of classical Pilates with a contemporary edge, Grounded redefines what mat Pilates can be. This energising 50-minute matwork class challenges your body in a supportive, empowering way. No springs, no shortcuts, just intelligent movement and purposeful strength.

Unlike Reformer Pilates, mat Pilates relies entirely on your own body weight and gravity for resistance. That means your core, stabilisers and supporting muscles work harder, demanding greater control, focus and depth of engagement. The result is a class that feels grounding, strengthening and surprisingly powerful.

A Studio-Grade Mat Pilates Experience

Grounded uses the Balanced Body Allegro® 2 Mat Conversion, transforming the Reformer into a professional-grade Pilates mat. This elevated setup allows for greater precision, alignment and comfort, creating a mat Pilates experience that goes far beyond the basics.

Expect strength-focused sequences, controlled transitions and intelligently layered exercises that leave you feeling connected, energised and strong.

No two bodies move the same way. We all have diffe No two bodies move the same way. We all have different strengths, weaknesses, injuries and limitations, so why should everyone be taught exactly the same? It’s why we intentionally keep our classes small. We want to see how you move, adapt where needed and offer hands-on corrections (always with your consent!) to help you get the most out of each exercise, with good form and technique. Come and join us for Grounded, our Mat Pilates class where we focus on the foundations, the finer details and helping you move in a way that works for your body.🩵
Nurture. A Pilates class where babies can be babie Nurture. A Pilates class where babies can be babies and mums can have a little time for themselves. 🩵 Our postnatal Mat Pilates class is designed for new mums finding their way back into movement. 50 minutes to move, gradually rebuild strength, reconnect with your core and pelvic floor, and spend time with other mums navigating this stage of life too. And don’t worry, nobody expects a perfectly peaceful baby. Little cries, giggles, feeds, cuddles, tummy time and the occasional interruption are all part of it. We don’t expect you to get through every exercise uninterrupted, and neither should you! Our postnatally trained instructors are here to support you, alongside a room full of mums who understand exactly what it’s like. No childcare arrangements, no pressure. Just a little time for yourself, with your little one right beside you. Come Nurture with us every Friday at 12pm with Jess 🩵

There’s a reason you might leave Pilates feeling r There’s a reason you might leave Pilates feeling ready for a good night’s sleep. 💤 Your nervous system plays a big role in how alert or relaxed you feel. One part helps your body prepare for action, while another helps it slow down, rest and recover. Pilates combines movement with slow, controlled breathing and research suggests this type of breathing can support the part of your nervous system associated with rest and recovery. Then there’s your mind. During Pilates, you must concentrate on your breathing, alignment, control and coordination. Your attention keeps coming back to your body and what you’re doing in that moment. For 50 minutes, you focus on something other than the constant noise and stimulation of everyday life. And there’s research into sleep itself. One clinical trial found that sedentary adults who completed a 12-week Mat Pilates programme reported improvements in sleep quality. So when you leave an evening class feeling like you’ve worked your body but quieted your mind, more could be happening than simply feeling tired. Just a few reasons an evening Pilates class could be a lovely addition to your wind-down routine. 🩵
