I had the pleasure of being a member here for a year. It's such a warm and welcoming studio. All of the instructors are so kind and friendly. There is a fantastic variety of yoga and pilates classes to choose from. Unfortunately, I moved to a different area so I can't go here anymore but I miss it lots!
One of the best studios I’ve been to. Not fancy but has all the essentials, it’s cosy but also has enough space to not feel overcrowded. There is a toilet upstairs, mats provided, tea/water and everyone is really nice and friendly, the teachers are great. Special shoutout to Molly and Raie, they have great energy and it feels gender inclusive and judgement free. 100% recommend this local gem!
Hatcha Yoga with Paula this morning was lovely :) not too many people but enough to feel comfortable. Great and relaxing flow. Will go again :)
MIND Yoga and Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
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 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
one of the 3 recent reviews describe the studio atmosphere positively — recurring descriptors include "welcoming", "calming" and "no judgement". This kind of language pattern, particularly across multiple reviewers, tends to indicate a settled member community rather than a high-turnover commercial environment. If you're new to pilates and concerned about feeling out of place at your first class, this is the indicator most worth weighting. One recent member put it this way: "It's such a warm and welcoming studio." — Georgia Tice.
Most UK boutique reformers start newcomers with a beginner-tagged class or a 1-1 intro session rather than dropping them into a mixed-level group. Arrive 10-15 minutes early; you'll be shown carriage adjustment, spring tension and basic safety. Wear grip socks (mandatory at most studios — they sell pairs for £8-15 if you don't have them) and form-fitting clothing that lets the instructor see your alignment. The first class is the steepest learning curve — by your third session, the equipment feels much more intuitive.
MIND Yoga and Pilates offers reformer pilates, mat pilates. Reformer classes use spring-resistance equipment for deep core and postural work — beginner-friendly and adaptable. Browse the studio's full schedule for current class times and instructor allocations.
