I have been attending Shivani’s reformer pilates classes for the last 7 weeks. I find Shivani to be friendly, knowledgeable and informative. As the studio is small, with 5 reformer beds, Shivani is able to move around the class to ensure our form and positioning is correct. Up until now I have struggled to find a form of exercise that I enjoy, but I actually look forward to my twice weekly classes.
I started my 1:1 lessons with Shivani recently, as a beginner I wanted to get the foundations before starting group lessons at the studio. Shivani is a true professional, an expert in her craft, patient and always adapting the classes based on goals and needs. I am excited to continue my lessons and am truly enjoying my pilates journey with Shivani. Thanks!
I recently attended an excellent Pilates class that truly exceeded my expectations. The instructor Shivani was incredibly knowledgeable and provided clear, precise instructions that made it easy for everyone to follow along, regardless of their skill level. The class was well-structured, blending a variety of exercises that targeted core strength, flexibility, and balance. The atmosphere was welcoming and motivating, with just the right amount of challenge to push me without feeling overwhelmed. I particularly appreciated the instructor's attention to form, offering personalized adjustments to ensure I was getting the most out of each movement. By the end of the session, I felt invigorated and more in tune with my body. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I left the class eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their fitness routine or try something new!
Pilates Shivani 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.
2 of 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. One recent member put it this way: "I find Shivani to be friendly, knowledgeable and informative." — Jo Moran.
Yes — the studio runs both pre-work classes (6am or earlier most days) and evening sessions running past 8pm, which together cover the standard 9-to-6 working day. Saturday and Sunday slots add weekend flexibility. For peak slots (07:00 and 18:00-19:30 are the busiest across most UK boutiques), most members book the week ahead.
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.
