Absolutely loving Sarah’s Pilates class, haven’t practiced for a few years but Sarah is very professional and goes through all the exercises very precisely and gives varying options, depending on how you feel! A lovely friendly class!
Sarah’s beginner classes are brilliant. She clearly knows her stuff and creates a really welcoming environment for Pilates newbies. Classes are excellent value at £8.50 each when you block book and I couldn’t recommend more. Thanks Sarah!
I recently joined Sarah’s Pilates class and I am very impressed. Sarah is a great teacher and works with lot’s of different abilities. She gives everyone in the class attention and makes sure we are all doing the moves correctly. Each week we learn something different and I can continue these moves at home too. I had a prolapse disc last year and am find this class is really helping with my flexibility. Thanks Sarah.
Mind Body Mat Pilates & Yoga offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
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.
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.

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. One recent member put it this way: "Sarah is a great teacher and works with lot’s of different abilities." — Lyn hill.
