​Pilates is for everyone, whatever your age or ability. Lyane founded the studio in 2012 and is endlessly fascinated by how people move, helping clients discover what their bodies are truly capable of. 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".

My Pilates journey began when I attended Lyane's classes to help manage a bad back. The difference Pilates made to my strength, mobility and overall wellbeing was so significant that it inspired me to train as a teacher myself. I qualified with Body Control Pilates in 2020 and have loved sharing the benefits of Pilates ever since. I believe Pilates provides the foundation for good movement, helping to build strength, improve mobility and stay active throughout life. My classes are welcoming, supportive and fun. Whether you are new to Pilates or have years of experience, I aim to help you feel stronger, move better and enjoy the process. I first came to Lyane as a client and I am delighted to now be part of her teaching team.

Yana discovered Pilates after an ankle injury and never looked back. For her it's movement as meditation, precise, flowing, and a real sense of ease and lightness off the mat. Whether she was looking to escape daily stress, relax or build strength, flexibility and mobility, it all seemed to fit together like the perfect puzzle, making her body and mind feel better after each practise. For Yana, Pilates feels like a form of meditation in movement. Pilates opens up so many possibilities and varieties of movement. I am so much more attuned to the body, learning to listen to it and at the same time controlling each movement, making it more precise and flowing. It gives her a sense of ease and lightness coming off the mat. Above all, Pilates makes Yana a very happy person in mind and body, and she wants to continue and share this with her clients, learning more and more each day.
