CONTEMPORARY PILATES
Our Contemporary Pilates London classes are a modern, research-informed evolution of Joseph Pilates’ original method. While still rooted in the classical approach, these classes incorporate new exercises and variations influenced by current understanding of biomechanics, physical therapy, and functional movement.
The result? A more adaptable, personalised Pilates experience that supports strength, mobility, and long-term well-being.
Who is Contemporary Pilates for?
Contemporary Pilates London is suitable for all levels and ages — particularly if you:
- Are new to exercise or returning after a break
- Are recovering from injury or postnatal
- Live with stress, fatigue, or a demanding lifestyle
- Experience back or joint pain
- Have conditions such as osteoporosis, ME or MS
- Struggle with poor posture or core weakness
This is a supportive, low-impact way to move your body and reconnect with strength, alignment and breath.
What to Expect in Contemporary Pilates London Classes
These classes blend classical Pilates with contemporary movement, placing emphasis on flow, and mindful control. While rooted in Joseph Pilates’ original repertoire, trainers draw from a broader range of exercises — adapting and modifying movements to suit the needs of each student in the room.
Music plays softly in the background to support focus and calm, allowing you to move at your own rhythm rather than to a set beat. Each class is slightly different, shaped by the group and the trainer’s expertise.
Expect a thoughtful, intelligent workout designed to support strength, flexibility, and recovery.
What to Wear to Contemporary Pilates London
Wear comfortable, breathable activewear — such as leggings or shorts with a t-shirt or vest. You’ll warm up quickly, so choose clothing that allows freedom of movement.
Grip socks are advised for hygiene and safety and are available to purchase in-studio if needed. Water and towels are also available to buy or hire.
