Pilates and yoga at the core
The studio offers a steady mix of pilates and yoga, with each taking about a third of the classes. Pilates runs from level 1 to 2 sessions through dynamic and bodycare pilates, while yoga includes flow, gentle and yin styles. Barre fusion and a strength and flexibility class add a different kind of work for those who want more structure.
There is also a clear route for newcomers. A first class ever sits alongside gentle yoga, chair yoga and mobility and stretch classes, so the start is easy to find.
How the week runs
Most classes run for 60 minutes, with 45-minute sessions also common. The busiest days are monday, wednesday and thursday, and midday carries the largest share of the week, with mornings close behind. Evenings are less crowded and weekends are a smaller part of the schedule.
Facilitators lead the classes, and a couple of dozen teach across the timetable. Tim Chew, John Hobbs, Susie Lovelock and Heather Hepburn lead many of the sessions.
