Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the core (trunk) muscles, improving flexibility & mobility, and increasing body awareness. It is based upon the original exercises developed by Joseph Pilates and follows specific principles to help fulfil the intention of each exercise. Mat Pilates often uses props such as resistance bands, ball, magic circle, to challenge or assist the exercises accordingly. We offer a variety of mat classes including Clinical Pilates & Mixed Ability Pilates.

Somatic Pilates

Somatic movement is a comprehensive system of movement education based on the work of Thomas Hanna, Ph.D. Somatic movements are gentle and slow that focus on the internal sensation of movement, to eliminate chronic muscle tension and pain that is caused by habitual movement patterns. While releasing chronic muscle tension, Somatic movement helps to improve mobility and physical comfort for the long term.

I have been coming to Pilates for just over 1 year. I absolutely love every class I do. I am grateful for the extensive knowledge and experience that all instructors have, and the ‘boutique’ feel to the smaller classes keeps your technique on track, you really get the most out of Pilates if you are doing it properly! Thank you to all of you for everything, especially for helping me work towards my goals physically every week.

I love my classes at The Pilates People! Jane and Laura are highly qualified instructors, and their classes are easy to follow and are perfectly pitched for the level they are aimed at. I find the classes fun, welcoming and feel that they have made a real difference to my health and fitness. I love that I can be challenged physically and mentally during a class but then walk out feeling warm, relaxed, and more comfortable than when I came in. I would come every day if I could.

Ruth Johnson

I’m a regular user of the Pilates People live online classes and occasional user of the on-demand classes. The classes are excellent. They are friendly and well designed with great instructions.

Neil Hopkinson

I’m a professional musician who suffered a Brachial Neuritis injury in September 2014, almost certainly because of holding my instrument for decades. The subsequent sensation of weakness has been permanent, and my wife suggested I try Pilates to help strengthen my body. I’ve seen Jane and Laura either in-person or online every week since, without fail. Their knowledge and experience are second to none, as is the level of care and understanding with clients. Quite simply, I wouldn’t still be earning a living from music without them, and I can’t recommend both the concept of Pilates and this company highly enough.

Christian Jones

The Pilates People is a lovely community to belong to. I really enjoy the class I go to; I’ve never known an hour to pass so quickly, and I feel completely energised after the class and my body feels far less achy.

“I recently started Online Pilates classes during lockdown and they are great, challenging but enjoyable at the same time. I would definitely recommend them to anybody wanting to start Beginners Pilates.”
