I can’t say enough great things about the new postnatal class at Studio Pilates! As a new mum, I was looking for a safe and supportive way to ease back into movement—and this class delivered beyond expectations. The exercises are gentle yet effective, perfectly tailored to help rebuild strength and core stability after pregnancy and birth. A huge shoutout to Shirley, the incredible owner, whose warmth and expertise shine through in every session. She genuinely cares about each person’s journey and creates such a welcoming, empowering atmosphere. If you’re a new mum looking to reconnect with your body and feel uplifted in the process, this class is a must!

What you can practice at Studio Pilates International West Malling

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the atmosphere like at Studio Pilates International West Malling?

What should I expect from my first reformer class at Studio Pilates International West Malling?
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.
