Why Pilates?

Whether you’re new to exercise, recovering from injury, or just want to feel stronger and more mobile, my Pilates sessions offer a supportive, no-pressure space to reconnect with your body.

Together, we’ll build core strength, balance, and mobility — starting where you are and levelling up as you go.

From your very first session, you’ll start to feel the difference.

  • As a complete novice, Esmé had been absolutely fantastic, her professionalism and encouragement has been instrumental in me continuing my journey in Pilates.

  • Esmé is a really great Pilates instructor, and can help you use the correct muscles so you get the most benefit from the different exercises. I was really buzzing after the first class and I like her studio, which is also warm even in January!

  • Since I started pilates with Esmé I can feel and see the differences, all for the better. Esmé has also a wealth of knowledge for overall health and fitness as well as understanding the mind body connection which she brings to ever session. Having had a few health problems over the past 3 months I am looking forward to the rest of the year ahead as I continue my health journey and see how far Esmé can push me, In a good way. 👍

  • Esmé is a fab Pilates teacher, explaining all the moves clearly and really making sure your body is in the correct position at all times. I leave the class feeling really relaxed, well stretched and my core strengthened. It is gentle and Esmé takes care to adapt the exercises to work around any injuries.
