The very best Pilates studio! I love attending classes here - they have quickly become one of the best parts of my week. I started my Pilates journey four months ago, taking reformer Pilates classes with Jenn, Rhona, and Mariana. I’ve also attended a Pilates mat class with Lorna. The instructors are all excellent - very knowledgeable, attentive, and super lovely people - which makes coming to the studio an absolute joy. The classes are small and engaging, allowing for plenty of personalised attention and support to help with development. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive, with everyone, from the instructors to the attendees, being genuinely lovely. This is a Pilates studio with a view! It’s located in an ideal location in the West End. The studio feels welcoming, comfortable, and respectful, creating a wellbeing space that's kind and sensitive to individual needs. So you instantly feel at ease. Thank you!

Outstanding Pilates studio run by the beautiful Rhona! I have been taught by all the staff either in a mat class or on the reformer and they are all incredible. My husband (who has chronic arthritis) and I now go to see Jason every week for a reformer session. His approach, skill, knowledge and encouragement have effective and quick results. But he is also intuitive, kind and positive. We can’t thank you enough Jason! 🤩
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Otago Street Pilates
Otago Street Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
