Pilates rebalances and re-educates the body, allowing it to move well. It strengthens deep, core muscles around the
tummy and waist and relieves tension by releasing tight muscles particularly around the back, neck and hips.
Whether you are a newcomer to exercise, recovering from injury, or want to enhance your current exercise regime,
Pilates is suitable for all ages and all abilities. At Horsley Pilates, we are experienced in bone health and experts in Parkinson's and scoliosis.
​
We are trained in the Body Control Pilates method, widely recognised as the benchmark for safe and effective teaching of the highest quality. It is Europe's largest professional pilates association.
We offer 1:1 and small group mat classes - never more than 8 in a class - as well as 1:1 reformer and cadillac sessions so
that you can truly benefit from our individual attention, hands-on expertise and experience.

Lyane
Teacher and Founder
I believe that Pilates really is for ‘everyone’ and that there are simply no boundaries in your way. It can be adapted to suit anyone and everyone. Whatever your age or sporting ability from the exercise phobic to the elite sports person. Pilates will enable you to not only achieve, but enhance your wellbeing and gain a better quality
of life.
It inspires me to analyse the way people move. I am constantly amazed by everyone’s infinite movement potential. My thirst for knowledge challenges and excites me, endlessly. It fuels my passion to enable clients to reach their full movement potential , encouraging them to discover what their bodies are truly capable of achieving.
If someone asked me to find one word that sums up Pilates my answer would be “I can’t”. There are just too many. I love: it’s power, it’s strength, its discipline, it’s attention to detail , it’s mindfulness, how it works both the mental and physical in tandem, and it’s healing power.
Or as a truly inspirational international Pilates presenter - Anula Maiberg puts it more philosophically:
"We are all combating two things, all day, every day: mortality and gravity, both of these things are going in a single direction. I get paid to teach my students to fight both and as a result be less afraid".
Megan
Teacher
Prior to embarking on my career as a Body Control Pilates teacher I trained as a professional Ballet dancer, touring across Europe with multiple accredited companies. My background in the Ballet industry has given me a sound understanding of what is required within Pilates and how I can incorporate my own expertise into it when it comes to elements such a balance and flexibility.
Through my ballet training, Pilates played a significant role specifically focusing on control and stability, which is the relationship and passion I hope to replicate for my future clients.
Anne-Marie
Cover teacher
Anne-Marie started her Pilates journey in 2011, when she joined
a mat class and was immediately captivated. She soon realised that
at the end of each and every class
she felt not only stronger, leaner
and fitter, but also calmer and more able to cope with the demands of young family. Intrigued by the transformative lightness and clarity
of her own movement, she decided
to deepen her understanding and train as a Body Control Pilates teacher. She is passionate that
Pilates should be for everybody
and believes it will enhance anybody’s physical and mental wellbeing as it has her own.
Anne-Marie teaches our mens class at Horsley Sports Club on Monday evenings.
