Connected to our roots

The term Classical Pilates is a way of signifying that our roots are in a method close to Joseph Pilates' teachings as handed down by one of his students, Romana Krysanowska, to our own teachers and mentors.

We are eternal students ourselves. In order to do our best for our own students, we reflect critically on what has been handed down to us. We benefit from both the experience of the generations before us and from the perspective of modern biomechanics and training techniques.

We use the language of Pilates as a framework to nurture our own students to "Return to Life" (to borrow Mr Pilates' own phrase). We take the essence of those original exercises and use them to create a bespoke full-bodied workout to meet each person where they are.

We are deeply immersed in the full system of many hundreds of exercises on numerous pieces of bespoke apparatus. The richness of the method allows us to navigate a journey from a student's very first session, progressing towards (and even beyond) their physical goals.

We may have old roots, but we're still growing!
