As a retired Pilates Teacher, I have been searching for a Pilates Studio that offered the values of teaching that I believe in and one that was teaching small groups. When I discovered the Mindful Pilates Studio only had 5 Reformers I was delighted. So if you are taking classes, each class is like a private session. Your teacher can see when you're struggling and need help. I've come, first of all, to Claudia for 1:1s to help me regain confidence in my 73 year old body that has had a severe bashing over the last 3 years. So slowly, slowly, she is bringing my body back to a level of confidence that is beginning to help me deal so much better with everyday life. It is slow, but the important thing for me is that each time I train I see a small progression. When your body is in trouble, it is hard to manage exercise at home. Claudia has an excellent team of teachers, a great capacity to understand what your body needs and thankfully works you hard but sensitively. The space is calm and you can avail of other classes and treatments and a coffee and a chat. It has a community spirit. So I would thoroughly recommend giving this Studio your time to help you in whatever your goals are.

I had a private reformer Pilates session with Claudia and was extremely impressed. She is STOTT trained (the best training available, in my opinion), highly professional, and very patient in her teaching. She clearly knows exactly what she’s doing and works in a precise, attuned, and safe way. I felt well supported throughout the session and confident in her expertise. I’ve already signed up for regular private sessions and very much look forward to continuing to work with her. The studio is amazing and offers so much amazing stuff from reformer pilates to yoga, massage, a cafe, a shop, osteopath, facials, nail salons… 🫶

I have been a client at this studio for the last 3 years while I was living in the UK. I love the small classes because the instructors have the time to give individual attention to each and everyone. The instructors are great, the ambience is very nice and it's just been a home away from home for me. I will miss Mindful Pilates!!
Pilates types offered
What you can practice at Mindful Pilates Studio
Mindful Pilates Studio 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.

Honest, specific answers about this studio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are classes at Mindful Pilates Studio adapted to individual members?
2 of 3 recent reviews use language suggesting personalisation — "tailored to my", "adapted for" and "small group" recurring as patterns. For reformer pilates particularly, instructor responsiveness to individual range, restrictions and goals is the difference between a generic group class and a genuinely useful session. This signal is especially relevant if you have a specific injury, postural concern or pregnancy adaptation requirement. One recent member put it this way: "As a retired Pilates Teacher, I have been searching for a Pilates Studio that offered the values of teaching that I believe in and one that was teaching small groups." — Judith Fisher.
Are there evening classes at Mindful Pilates Studio?
Yes — at least one weekday class runs until 20:00 or later, which suits members training after a standard working day. Evening peaks at most UK pilates studios run from 18:00 to 19:30, with later 20:00-21:00 slots usually quieter and easier to book on the day.
What should I expect from my first reformer class at Mindful Pilates Studio?
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.
What classes does Mindful Pilates Studio offer?
