About the Studio

A space 30 years in the making

This is a large, brand-new studio, flooded with natural light — a simple, clean space designed to hold everything your movement practice needs, and nothing it doesn't.

For group classes in Yoga, Pilates, FAMO and ALIGN, you'll find every prop imaginable: blankets, bolsters, bricks, blocks, belts, massage balls and domes, over balls, toning balls, trigger balls, and kneeling mats. Whatever your body needs on a given day, it's here.

We also have a Yoga Wall — a wonderful tool for suspending and tractioning the body, creating space and reaching areas that movement on the floor simply can't access.

For private and duet sessions, there's a fully equipped Pilates studio, with reformer, tower, and chair.

After thirty years of teaching, this space is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream — my own studio, built exactly as I always imagined it: room to teach groups, a Yoga Wall, and full Pilates equipment for private work, all under one roof.

For now, I am the only teacher here. This isn't a studio with a rotating cast — when you walk through the door, I will be your teacher.

I'll get to know you, your body, and what you need, class after class.

The MOVE Studio will offer weekly in-person classes in:

alongside private and duet sessions in the fully equipped Pilates Studio.

Full schedule and booking details will be published here when the studio opens.

FAQs

Besides the group classes, do you offer private reformer Pilates?

Yes, I have a fully equipped and dedicated private space for running one to one and duet equipment Pilates classes.

I’m 71 years old, can I join a group class?

Yes, absolutely - and i’d love to have you! My group classes are designed to welcome all ages and abilities. You don’t need private sessions to get excellent, personalised support. Whether you are 30 or 80, you’ll find modifications and progressions that work for your body right now. My studio is built on community, and I believe that training together - across different ages and stages - makes us all stronger.

Come join us and find your power again.

I’d like a class tailored for older bodies, where I can connect with people from my generation and make new friends. Do you offer this?

This is exactly the kind of community I’m building, and I'm eager to create it. As soon as I have enough interest, I’m committed to launching specialized classes for older adults - designed specifically for your body’s needs while fostering friendships and community connection you’re looking for.

I truly believe that being well isn’t just about physical strength - it’s about belonging and connection. If this appeals to you, please reach out. Your interest directly shapes what we build together, and I’d love to create this supportive, age-specific environment for you.
