✨Meet Our Newest Pilates Star: Welcome Jess!✨
We sat down with Jess for a quick chat to get to know her better:
Yoga Rocks: Welcome, Jess! We’re so excited to have you join the Yoga Rocks family. What initially drew you to Pilates, and what do you love most about teaching it?
Jess: Thank you! I’m really excited to be part of the Yoga Rocks community. I was first introduced to Pilates as part of my ballet training, I used it as a warm-up before classes and also practiced in a fully equipped studio with the traditional apparatus. What I love most about teaching Pilates is the focus it brings: helping people connect with their bodies through mindful movement, technique, and breath. It’s a powerful, intelligent practice that builds real strength from the inside out.
Yoga Rocks: Is Pilates having as big a moment in Brazil as it is over here right now?
Jess: I left Brazil a few years ago, so I’m not entirely sure what the current scene is like. When I was living there, my experience was quite different, primarily taught in equipment-based studios, often in a one-on-one or duet format. Group Reformer and Mat classes weren’t as common, so it’s amazing to see how accessible and community-driven it’s become.
Yoga Rocks: What’s one thing you hope every student takes away from your Pilates classes at Yoga Rocks?
Jess: That slowing down is powerful. I always encourage students to resist the urge to rush and instead focus on technique, alignment, and breath. When we move with intention, we build strength, awareness, and resilience that lasts far beyond the mat.
Yoga Rocks: Beyond the mat, what’s a fun fact about you that our Yoga Rocks community might be surprised to learn?
Jess: I run a not-for-profit art gallery in Stockwell called Under the Spell, and I founded an independent film company called Paper Thin Films. Creativity is a huge part of my life, and I love blending it with the structure and clarity that Pilates brings.

At Yoga Rocks, our vision is to create and foster a welcoming, safe environment of wellbeing, community and personal growth. We are firm believers in the universality of yoga, in the acceptance of others, and ourselves - and the many positive changes that can result through the practice, in both body and mind.
Yoga is not about doing the splits or standing on your head! At its core is the practice of training and focusing the mind, and being present in the moment. Through the practice of Yoga with its focus on breath and movement - we can learn to pay attention to the 'now' rather than allowing our minds to dwell on the past or future. Life's beauty lies here in the present, and its something worth working towards - even if it is sometimes challenging!
With roots founded in ancient yogic wisdom – you can show up to any of our classes for a fantastic hot yoga practice. We also offer a multitude of differently themed classes that reflect and cater for the different styles, abilities and needs of our practitioners.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just taking the first steps of your yoga journey, we welcome all to Yoga Rocks!
The Journey So Far
We have always been active people - playing lots of sports with regular visits to the gym. Practicing yoga was something that never crossed our minds...It was something ethereal, intangible and something other people did. Other people, not us. Then came the challenge from a friend: "I think you'd really enjoy yoga - I reckon if you give it a try, you'd be hooked!". Not ones to back away from a challenge, we accepted and went to our very first yoga class that very same day, over a decade ago....
Fast forward to present day, and our passion for Yoga and its transformative powers for body and mind, burns brighter than ever. The wisdom and knowledge imparted in this ancient system needs no selling - but it is something you need to experience for yourself. The benefits are so plentiful and wide ranging that everyone could find it useful. We believe this so much so, that we decided to do something about it! We rolled up our mats and enrolled at an intensive teacher training course in India, under the tutelage of amazingly knowledgeable yogis. After weeks of sweat, tears and intensive learning, we were finally trained yoga teachers! A true experience of a life time - and one which was powerful enough for us to decide that we wanted to do what we could to spread this ancient, time tested system to as many people as we could- we want the benefits Yoga brings to be accessible by all.
