New courses start this week so if you haven’t signed up yet send us an email and we can get you booked in. If you’re new and looking to get started, we’d love to hear from you [email protected] 🧡

Introduction to Beginner Mat Pilates
Monday 7th September at 5.45pm with Elda

This is a great place to start if you are completely brand new to Pilates, or you haven’t done it for a long time and need a refresher of the basic principles. The basic principles are the key to getting the best out of your weekly group class.

These classes are kept small to allow the instructor time to teach you what to expect out of a Pilates mat class and answer any questions you have. This session is 55mins long and costs £18

Limited spaces are available for this popular introduction session.

Foundation to Reformer Friday 18th Sept at 9am with Darcey

For those with experience on the Pilates mat, come and try our Reformer machines on our Reformer Introduction Class.

If your mat classes are going well and you feel like taking on a new challenge to progress your Pilates practice, our Reformer classes are dynamic sessions which build on everything you’ve learnt
in your mat class. The reformer brings resistance, strength, and support to the Pilates repertoire. Its benefits are huge! Regular reformer classes help with deeper mobility and movement, building strength and encouraging correct alignment.

Darcey will guide you on how to use the machine and the many benefits it has.

Limited spaces are available for this popular introduction session. This class is 55mins long and costs £23

I class myself as pretty fit and supple, but after a week of camping I honestly felt like I’d been run over by a bus! 😂

Beautiful, wonderful times, absolutely. But my goodness, sleeping on an airbed for a week, coupled with all the camping joys of repeatedly moving one thing from one place to another, certainly takes its toll.

So, as well as enjoying the luxury of a good night’s sleep in your own bed, here are a few little gems to help you sort yourself out when you get home.

1. Hip Opener

This is a gorgeous, passive and gentle hip opener. You can use a roller or a large rolled-up towel underneath your lower back.

Simply extend one leg away from you whilst gently drawing the other knee towards your chest, and allow the straight leg to just hang.

You can also gently ‘wave’ the straight leg from side to side if that feels good.

Aim for 30 seconds–1 minute on each side.

2. Side Opener

Adding some rotation to this side opener helps to mobilise through the ribcage and thoracic spine.

A lovely one if you’re feeling a little stiff and compressed after a week of sleeping, sitting and generally living in slightly less-than-ideal positions!

3. Port de Bras

Make sure you support your head here, with your elbows slightly forward.

The roller (or a rolled-up towel or softball) sits just below the shoulder blades.

Inhale to extend over and exhale to return.

Take care not to let the head ‘fall back’ as you move over the roller — keep the movement feeling supported and controlled.

And remember, these aren’t about forcing movement. Just breathe, move gently and allow your body to gradually unwind.

Enjoy 🧡🧡

Behind the scenes at Purely… 👀

It’s not all Pilates, sunshine and pretty studio spaces! 😂

There’s also a fair amount of laptop time — planning, emails, spreadsheets, organising, problem-solving… and approximately 47 cups of tea. ☕️💻 For anyone that knows us well they know how important the tea is 🤣

A little peek at the less glamorous (but very important!) side of running a Pilates studio.

Because there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make everything you see in the studio feel effortless 🧡
