Your Antrim Instructors
Meet Cliodhna
Having worked as a physiotherapist for nearly 6 years, Cliodhna knows the importance of moving your body. Having been active through various sports and the gym, she fell in love with HOT Yoga around 8 years ago. This later lead to her love for Pilates after moving to Sydney, Australia.
The mind-body holistic connection captured Cliodhna's heart and instantly knew it was a passion she wished to pursue. When circumstances changed however, and having moved back home in 2025, it became the perfect opportunity for Cliodhna to get her qualifications. "I absolutely love helping people heal, become stronger and grow through whatever life throws at them and I can’t wait to bring this to all the amazing people who walk through the Reformer Labs doors."

Meet Emma B
Emma began mat Pilates around 10 years ago with the hope of relieving work related lower back pain, quickly feeling the physical benefits of practice. Over the years noticing an improvement in posture and core strength as well as a reduction in niggly aches and pains.
After a major surgery early 2024 she returned to Mat Pilates to rebuild strength and this time especially noticed the positive impact on mental wellness that Pilates can make alongside the physical. After a friend invited her to join reformer classes, she was quickly hooked, loving the mind-body connection, supported movement and fun that a class brings!
Feeling like the perfect time to move life in a new direction, Emma signed up to teacher training in early 2025. She aims to bring movement, challenge, connection and calm to every body with layers and options to adapt to how you feel in the moment!
Meet Laura
Meet Joey
Joey first discovered Yoga in her teens, initially drawn to the physical postures. Yet, her practice quickly transformed into something beyond the postures, the mat became her sanctuary, the one place where moving with the breath allowed her busy mind to quieten, stand still, and be truly present.
Inspired by this deep inner connection, Joey immersed herself in her practice and completed her teacher training in Thailand in 2018.
Her classes are an intentional retreat, a time and space reserved just for you. Joey specialises in cultivating an atmosphere of deep support, gently encouraging you to soften, melt into your practice, and move with your body, leaving the mat feeling calm and centred.
Meet Bethany
Bethany's love for Pilates began around 3 years ago when she booked a class just to try something new and instantly fell in love - switching off from the outside world and checking in to the mat to move with intention.
She completed her Mat Pilates teacher training in 2025, also qualifying in Pre and Post-Natal Pilates. This is a passion of Bethany's as she also works as a registered midwife.
Her mat classes will be a fusion of controlled, mindful movement which will challenge you and build strength.
Outside of the studio, you’ll find her walking her dogs or in the local coffee shop!
Meet Ella
"My love for Pilates grew as a teenager when I started attending mat classes to help de-stress during my A-Levels. My love for Pilates has never wavered since then and soon realised I wanted to teach & introduce others to the practice."
Ella is also a full time pharmacy student at Queen’s University in Belfast in her spare time you’ll find her attending Reformer and HOT Mat classes, in the gym or sweating it out in the sauna. Ella's classes focus on mindful movement, finding that mind-body connection through breath work. Her sessions are super spicy so expect to feel the 'burn'.
