Your Instructors

Meet Sophie

Sophie began her journey with Dance and Barre, but it was Reformer Pilates that truly captured her heart. She trained as an instructor in London with Balanced Body and no matter where she travels, Sophie seeks out reformer classes, drawing inspiration from places like London, the Netherlands, Germany, and Dublin.

Her passion for teaching extends to dance styles such as ballet, jazz, and hip hop. According to Sophie, "Reformer classes are key to preventing dance and sports injuries while also enhancing mental wellbeing." In her sessions, she seamlessly integrates her dance expertise, combining stability and strength through deliberate, slow movements to help you connect more deeply with your body.

Meet Victoria

Victoria’s teaching journey has come years of loving Pilates and her desire to bring the “feel good” feeling she gets at the end of every session to others. Her love of all activities has seen her try the aerial hoop, horse riding, swimming, running and aerial yoga. In her spare time she’s also a solicitor and an assistant athletics coach.

Meet Sue

Sue developed a passion for practicing Pilates 16 years ago, prompted by pelvic dysfunction during her first pregnancy. After the birth of her second child, she transitioned from a career in health promotion to focus on Pilates.

Sue became a certified matwork Level 3 instructor in July 2011 and earned her Reformer certification in March 2022. She has extensive experience working with clients who require specialised care, including those who are pre- and post-natal, as well as individuals with osteopenia, osteoporosis and scoliosis. As an avid runner, Sue has also designed Pilates programs aimed at enhancing athletic performance.

Meet Hannah

Hannah is a newly qualified reformer instructor. She fell in love with pilates 4 years ago and has been participating in classes ever since. Hannah also works as a solicitor and her spare time is spent looking after her one year old daughter (and husband)!

Meet Ellen

Ellen's journey with Pilates began over ten years ago, driven by a deep appreciation for its holistic benefits. Last year, she became a certified mat Pilates teacher and has since added reformer training to her qualifications. Committed to her craft, Ellen continuously seeks to enhance her expertise through ongoing research.

In her classes, Ellen combines fun vibes and challenging moves, all set to upbeat music that keeps participants motivated. Known for her vibrant and encouraging teaching style, she ensures each session is engaging and inclusive.

Outside the studio, she loves exploring nature, drinking coffee, going to comedy gigs, listening to a good podcast, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Meet Emma

Emma fell in love with Pilates around 3 years ago when she saw instant results in her physical and mental wellness from taking part in classes. She developed a keen interest for enhancing her strength and deepening her mind-body connection. Fast forward to 2024, when she travelled to Bali to complete her qualifications in mat & Reformer Pilates.

When Emma isn’t teaching Pilates, she is either getting her steps in, sweating it out at a Hot Yoga class or planning where to travel to next. She loves anything to do with holistic wellness or nutrition and would love to venture into that world in the future.

If you need any travel tips or want to get into a lengthy conversation over a coffee on health and wellness, she’s your girl. Prepare to get connected to your body in her classes!
