What the studio practices
The core of the studio is Pilates on the reformer, with Cadillac, chair, barrel and spine corrector also in use, alongside the spine fitter and magic circle. Core and pelvic floor work runs through most classes, and a number of sessions use the mat in small groups. Yoga and fascia work sit alongside Pilates for those who want a wider range of movement.
Who it suits
The studio says its methods can help with back, neck and shoulder problems, support recovery after injury and surgery, and build stability for everyday life. It also works with moderators, actors, singers, musicians, older people and those before, during and after pregnancy. Classes range from gentle sessions to strong, challenging ones, so each class is chosen to match the level and goal of the person practicing.
