I've been coming to Yogarise Intermediate & Dynamic reformer pilates classes in Peckham for a while now. The place is a true sanctuary - I always leave classes feeling reset and strong. Martha and Charlotte have built up my fitness confidence and are truly lovely, warm and supportive teachers. Classes are challenging and different each time. Affordable with a great NHS discount and plenty of classes to fit into your schedule. Highly recommend 😊 My only feedback - as stunning as the studio is - it is well lit with big windows and spacious - I wish there were some mirrors, or an option to choose a reformer machine facing one. With a recovering injury and a classical pilates background, I usually rely on these to help me with form and connection.

I absolutely loved pregnancy yoga with Ayesha here at yogarise. It was something that I was so grateful for during pregnancy, each week an opportunity to really check in with myself and my body, feel that amazing motherly energy in the room with Ayesha and the other attendees. Ayesha is so friendly and supportive, addressing where she can help during the class and follow on suggestions. The flows are relaxing and adaptable for every stage (I came from 16 weeks all the way until the week before I gave birth). What a beautiful practice - I would recommend this to anyone pregnant!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Yogarise Peckham - Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes suitable for pregnancy or postnatal practice?
one of the 3 recent reviews mention prenatal or postnatal pilates contexts. For pregnancy practice, ask whether the lead instructor holds APPI Pre/Postnatal Pilates or Body Control Pilates Maternal certification — these are the two main UK qualification pathways for safe trimester-aware programming. GP or midwife clearance is typically required from 12-14 weeks; reputable studios will ask about it before booking your first session. One recent member put it this way: "It was something that I was so grateful for during pregnancy, each week an opportunity to really check in with myself and my body, feel that amazing motherly energy in the room with Ayesha and the…" — Pippa Dyer.
Have any members commented critically on the atmosphere at Yogarise Peckham - Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes?
one of the 3 recent reviews mention atmosphere in less positive terms — "cold", "intimidating" or "cliquey" being the recurring descriptors. This is worth weighting if you're a complete beginner and prone to feeling out of place; consider booking a quieter midweek 10-12am class rather than a peak 6pm session for your first visit, which is the standard pattern that smooths out the experience.
Are there evening classes at Yogarise Peckham - Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes?
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 Yogarise Peckham - Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes?
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.
