Southsea Pilates is run by Jane in a studio at her home. It is extremely well equipped and she has a separate room for classes. I attended 1-1 sessions and the somatic class following a slipped disc injury. Jane ran provided me with strategies and confidence . I hope to join sessions regularly on zoom. Jane is welcoming , friendly and listens to your needs. I highly recommend Southsea Pilates.
I've been attending Jane's gentle pilates class throughout my pregnancy and thoroughly enjoy it. Jane is very friendly, communicative and she is very considerate when it comes to modifying movement while also making you feel part of the class. I would highly recommend Southsea Pilates!
Jane is a very knowledgeable and friendly teacher. The small class sizes at Southsea Pilates ensure you get enough attention to make sure you are moving correctly. My flexibility is so much better now and my back does not hurt anymore. The weekly classes are never the same. I'm very grateful to have discovered Southsea Pilates.
Southsea 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 mention the instructors in positive terms — words such as "knowledgeable", "attentive" and "encouraging" recur most frequently. Members citing specific cues, form corrections or named instructors is a strong sign of relationship-led teaching rather than transactional class delivery. If instructor depth matters for your decision (particularly for clinical or prenatal-focused pilates), this is a useful positive signal.
