Classical pilates- Privates

OUr private classes

Private Classes are one-to-one sessions designed entirely around you. Your body, your history, your goals, your pace. Whether you’re working with an injury, feeling less mobile, rebuilding strength, or simply wanting more individual attention and precision; this is your space.

They are especially supportive if you’re recovering from injury, managing pain, navigating pre or postnatal changes, or if you feel you’d benefit from focused guidance before stepping into group classes. They’re also perfect if you simply love the depth and accountability that comes with dedicated 1:1 work.

In a private session, we assess, refine and build intelligently. Expect detailed feedback, hands-on adjustments, and a programme that evolves with you. We can slow things down, break movements apart, or challenge you deeply, depending on what your body needs that day.

It’s focused. It’s precise. It’s personal. And it’s often where the most profound shifts happen.

what to expect

Expect a session that is completely tailored to you. We begin by looking at how you move, your posture, your breath, your strengths, your blind spots, and from there we build intelligently.

You’ll receive detailed cueing, hands-on guidance where appropriate, and the kind of precision that simply isn’t possible in a group setting. We can pause, repeat, dissect, or progress, all depending on what serves you best that day.

Some sessions may feel rehabilitative and restorative. Others may feel strong, dynamic and deeply challenging.

But every single one will feel purposeful. Because when the work is designed around you, your body responds.

OUr duet classes

Duet Classes are shared private sessions for two people, thoughtfully programmed and guided so that both of you receive individual attention within a dynamic, shared setting.

They’re perfect for friends, partners, siblings or training buddies who want to experience the depth of private sessions but enjoy the motivation and energy of working alongside someone else. They’re also a wonderful option if you want more tailored guidance than a group class, while still sharing the journey.

Each session is adapted to suit both bodies. You may not always be doing exactly the same exercise at the same time, and that’s intentional. We programme intelligently so each person gets what they need, without compromising flow or quality.

what to expect

Expect focused attention, precise feedback and a strong sense of rhythm. Duets move with more continuity than privates, but still allow space for refinement and adjustment.

There’s often a lovely balance of accountability and light-heartedness, you work hard, but you’re not alone. You’ll challenge each other, occasionally laugh at the shake, and celebrate the small breakthroughs together.

It’s personal, powerful and surprisingly fun. And like everything we do, it’s rooted in intention, not just exercise for the sake of it, but movement that truly changes how your body feels.

What Sets Us Apart

Our passion from movement

All of our experienced teachers have taken years to qualify and to truly study the system of Classical Pilates, not just to learn the exercises, but to understand the method deeply.

We’ve studied how to adapt it to different bodies, different needs, different injuries, different personalities. Because no two bodies are the same, and they shouldn’t be treated that way.

We are not weekend teachers, if you know what I mean 😉( waaaay before the reformer craze hit the fitness industry)

This is a craft we’ve devoted years to refining. A system we respect. A method we continue to study.

And that depth of training is something you will feel, in the precision, in the attention, and in the way your body changes over time.

Small Classes. Real Attention.

We keep our classes intentionally small, maximum 4 people.

Why? Because Pilates was never meant to be taught to a room of 20 bodies moving at once. It’s a method that requires eyes, precision and real-time feedback.

In our studio, you are seen. You are corrected. You are guided.

You won’t get lost at the back of the room. And you definitely won’t be left guessing whether you’re “doing it right.”

Small classes mean big change.

Also means, you definitely get more for your money ;p

We will juice every £ out of your muscles.

Classical Pilates: As It Was Designed

We stay true to the original system created by Joseph Pilates. Not a fitness trend. Not a remix. Not choreography on springs.

This is intelligent, structured, progressive work.

Each exercise builds on the next. Each level prepares you for the one above. There’s a reason for everything we teach, and a reason for the order in which we teach it.

It may look simple. It may feel humbling.

But it works. And it works deeply.

But don’t worry we are not purists, we can adapt to anyone. We continue to study and keep our knowledge up to date with anatomy, biomechanics and science based scientific research.

With some of the best Classical Pilates trainings out there, all of our teachers make a true difference to the way movement is experienced.

We believe movement is personal. Each and every one of us needs to understand it, learn it, and truly feel it in our own body. It’s not about copying shapes, it’s about creating connection.

Our teachers excel at making sure every single person in the class is getting what they need from each exercise. The cue that clicks. The adjustment that transforms it. The moment where it suddenly makes sense.

This is teaching that sees you.
