Bournemouth Pilates is based in a small home studio in BH7. We run intimate Pilates classes, which focus on individualised teaching, and confidence building. We run classes specifically designed for beginners and also mixed classes for anyone looking for mindful movement.
Classes are booked in term time blocks, to align with the local schools. Allowing busy mums to prioritise time to themselves each week, the classes are generally with in the school day so can be tied in before and after school runs.
We run mat based Pilates, with modified exercises, to allow everyone to feel the benefit. We use a range of small equipment during classes, such as; Pilates balls, blocks, massage balls and Pilates rings (magic circles).
Welcome to Bournemouth Pilates
Move, Strengthen, Relax
Between the school runs, the jobs, the washing piles and the constant “Muuuuum?” — it’s easy to forget you deserve time too.
Bournemouth Pilates is your pause button.
A calm, beautiful space designed to help you switch off, reconnect and feel strong again.
January term is coming — and you’re invited to claim a little time back for you ✨

Is Pilates right for you?
If you want to feel stronger, move better, and have one calm hour that’s truly yours, then yes — you’ll love it here.
Pilates is for you if:
• You’re tired of rushing from one thing to the next
• You want gentle, strengthening movement that still challenges you
• You’re juggling kids / work / life and need a reset
• Your body feels stiff, tight or achy
• You want to feel lighter, lengthened and more connected
My new studio has been designed exactly for this — a soft, calming space where you can breathe, slow down and focus on you for a change.
✨ January term bookings open this week. Keep an eye out for first access.

The studio is finally starting to look like the vision in my head ✨
The walls are now painted, the equipment has arrived, and next week the ceiling gets skimmed and the skirting goes in. Bit by bit, it’s all coming together.
January will be the first month I open the doors properly — calm, focused Pilates sessions designed to feel like time out.
For the busy mums juggling a hundred things, for anyone craving a breather from the noise, the notifications, the never-ending list… this is your time. Fully yours.
I’m building a space that feels light, calm and intentional — somewhere you can step into and instantly feel your shoulders drop.
I honestly can’t wait to welcome you in.
If you want first access to January term bookings, keep an eye on here this week. ✨

Why Modified (APPI) Pilates Works So Well ➡️
Pilates isn’t meant to be about forcing your body into shapes — it’s about moving in a way that builds strength, control and confidence.
That’s why I love using the APPI approach.
APPI takes the original classical Pilates exercises and breaks them down into levels so everyone can perform them well — not just “get through” them.
By adjusting things like lever length, load or position, we can:
✨ Improve technique
✨ Build strength gradually
✨ Reduce strain
✨ Prevent compensation
✨ Make every exercise meaningful, not messy
The magic of modified Pilates is that you still get the full benefits of the classical work — you just start at the right level for your body today.
And as you get stronger, we progress safely and purposefully.
It’s Pilates done properly, with precision at the heart of every movement.
Come and try for yourself at Bournemouth Pilates. Class announcements and bookings open next week!

🌿Pilates isn’t just exercise — it’s permission to step away.
Away from your phone.
Away from responsibilities.
Away from being ‘on call’.
For 50 minutes, you get to be fully present, breathe deeper and reconnect with your body 🌿

Here’s something no one tells you about Pilates…
Your progress isn’t just about showing up — it’s about the quality of guidance you receive.
In larger classes, it’s easy to miss the subtle alignment details that make Pilates truly transformative. But in a small-group space, you get personalised support, real-time feedback and the chance to understand your body on a deeper level.
Small groups don’t just feel calmer — they help you move better, safer and with far more purpose. 🌿✨
Small-group Pilates classes launching this January.
Follow along for updates from Bournemouth Pilates.
Come as you are.
Really — come exactly as life has you today.
Mismatched gym kit, odd socks, yesterday’s mascara, a half-finished coffee in hand, hair in a mum bun… it all belongs here.
Pilates isn’t about looking a certain way — it’s about feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected in your own body.
There’s no expectation, no pressure, no judgement.
If you’ve shown up for yourself, that’s already the biggest win.
We’ll take care of the rest. 🌿✨
