JM Pilates

The first fully equipped classical pilates studio in the south west! Classical Pilates comes to South Devon! The first of its kind in the South West.

I opened my new studio in September 2016 having moved from Bristol. Come and give it ago! Classical Pilates will give you a profound feeling of well being. Contact Jo and "in 30 sessions you'll have a new body" Joseph Pilates

Who says Pilates is just for women? Not Joseph Pilates for sure!

This morning I had the pleasure of teaching six strong, hardworking men on a beautiful deck overlooking the Salcombe Estuary . Sunshine, fresh air, a stunning view, and a group of men discovering muscles they didn’t know they had.

Strength isn’t just about lifting heavy. It’s about balance, mobility, flexibility, core control, and being able to keep doing the things you love for years to come, whether that’s sailing, golf, surfing, walking the coast path, or simply getting out of a chair without groaning!

One of the things I love most about my job is taking Pilates out of the studio and into some truly spectacular locations. Holiday homes, private gardens, decks overlooking the water, family celebrations, wellness weekends, or simply gathering a group of friends together for something a little different.

This session took place at beautiful (a wonderful holiday rental) perched above the estuary with one of the best views in Devon. A pretty special place to move, stretch and start the day.

If you’re staying in a holiday home around Salcombe, Kingsbridge or the South Hams and would like a private Pilates session for your family, friends or guests, send me a message. I bring the class to you.

Although I can’t promise quite this weather every time…

What an inspiration, two hip replacements and now moving with full strength and mobility. Proof that what you put in, you really do get out.

This is where the classical Pilates equipment is so clever. The reformer, push-through bar and other apparatus give support where it is needed, resistance where it helps, and allow you to build strength, control and confidence safely. Done consistently, it can make a huge difference.

A strong reminder that our bodies are capable of far more than we think and you are in control of them!

Pilates teachers, are you looking for a change in 2026, flexible hours in beautiful surroundings?!

I’m recruiting at JM Pilates in Kingsbridge (South Hams, South Devon) and I’d love to find a skilled, friendly teacher to join the studio.

If you’re craving a healthier lifestyle, South Devon delivers, beaches and sea swims nearby, stunning coastal walks, and plenty of fresh air, alongside a community that values health and wellbeing.

The role includes a mix of privates, duets and small groups using all the classical equipment, with flexible session times and an established client base, all in a calm, professional space.

If you’re classical-trained (or strongly classically influenced), you care about teaching well and looking after your clients, get in touch!

Who needs a time machine when you’ve got Pilates?

The controlled resistance of the springs is what makes it so powerful, they don’t just tone muscles, they strengthen bones too. That gentle but strong, consistent resistance stimulates bone growth, improves joint stability and flexibility.

It’s not just about body strength either, it’s also about brain training!

Pilates demands focus. You have to think, listen, and coordinate your breath with precise movement. That mental engagement keeps your brain sharp, improves body awareness, and is proven to support balance and cognitive health as we age.

You move your body to stay strong but what you put into your body matters just as much.

JM Pilates and JM Healthy Living are now one.

I’ve brought my two worlds together, movement and nutrition, to help busy women who spend their days running businesses, homes and families, but rarely have time to think about themselves, realising that working online, sitting for long hours at a desk, and snatching snacks between meetings might keep their business running, but it’s not doing their body or their long-term success any favours.

My lovely client, Dani, is one of those women. She runs a very successful global sleep consultancy and mentorship academy, but with three children and a busy business to juggle, she’d found it harder to stay strong and at the weight she feels best at.

We’ve been working closely together, creating simple routines and real food plans that easily fit around her life.

Dani is really motivated and can already see the difference, more energy, more strength, and has a whole new way of shopping….she now sticks to just two aisles in the supermarket, fresh food and meat, and says reading the labels down the others was a real eye-opener!

In the words of Joseph Pilates “You’re only as young as your spine is flexible”

Keeping supple and strong is crucial to your longevity, research now shows that the only factor more important than how you move is what you put IN your body.

That’s why I’ve brought JM Pilates and Jo Moore Healthy Living together. True strength doesn’t just come from the hours you spend on the mat, it comes from how you fuel, rest and care for yourself in between.

If you’re here for the movement side, come and follow me over at for everything food, energy and lifestyle… it’s where it all comes together!

Still feeling the impact of an extraordinary masterclass with Jean-Claude Nelson at Holly’s beautiful in Battersea.

Jean-Claude, a classical Pilates teacher who embodies the work with such clarity, grace and purpose.

His teaching is precise, powerful and quietly profound. You feel every word, every cue, in every part of your body!

What struck me most was his analogy of finding your internal spring; that deep energy within the body that creates lift, lightness and flow.

It’s not something you force, it’s something you find when you move with intelligence and intention.

Being in that space, surrounded by passionate teachers and guided by someone who lives and breathes the method, was incredibly inspiring. It reminded me that true Pilates isn’t about performance or perfection, but deep connection.

Thank you Jean-Claude for sharing your brilliance, and thank you Holly for hosting such a special day.

The Small Pilates Barrel – Small but Mighty

Don’t be fooled by its size—the small barrel is a powerhouse when it comes to mobility, strength, and posture.

It’s designed to work with the natural curves of your spine, helping you stretch, open up tight areas, and build deep core strength—without putting pressure on your neck or lower back.

Just a few minutes on the barrel can:
• Improve spinal mobility and flexibility
• Support better posture and alignment
• Open up the chest and hips
• Strengthen the core—without needing crunches
• Relieve tension in the back and shoulders

It’s ideal if you spend a lot of time at a desk, on your feet, or just feel a bit tight and compressed.

Smart, supportive movement that leaves you feeling taller, lighter, and stronger.

It was a tough workout! Thank you

The Ladder Barrel. A beautiful piece of equipment. Not just to stretch out tight hamstrings…oh no, Joseph Pilates was much cleverer than that.

The Ladder Barrel is designed to help improve core strength, flexibility, and spinal mobility.
A curved barrel attached to a ladder-like frame, allowing for stretching, strengthening, and stability exercises.

• Spinal Mobility: Supports deep backbends and forward bends to increase flexibility.
• Core Strength: Engages the abdominals and back muscles for improved stability.
• Hip and Leg Flexibility: Helps stretch and strengthen the hamstrings, hip flexors, and glutes.
• Posture Improvement: Encourages correct alignment and spinal articulation.
Come and try it!
