Watch our instructor Sarah in action. Beginning in a modified four-point kneeling position, she moves through single-leg footwork to activate the lower body and build stability through the pelvis and lats. From there, she adds a knee-off transition into a single-leg pike, lighting up the entire anterior chain while maintaining length and control through a long, neutral spine.

The sequence finishes with a modified Up Stretch, bringing everything together, core engagement, shoulder stability, and full-body coordination, for a smooth, strong, and beautifully connected flow.

Epic 💪

Feeling stressed? Reformer Pilates is one of the best ways to restore balance in the body and mind. I didn’t call the studio Balance Pilates for nothing!

Through mindful movement, deep breathing, and controlled strength work, Pilates helps release tension, calm the nervous system, and leave you feeling centred and energised.

I’ve been practising Reformer Pilates for many years and have experienced these benefits firsthand, which is why I always encourage clients to commit to a regular weekly practice to truly feel the difference.

As we head into the busy months of November and December, there’s no better time to prioritise yourself. Make space to move, breathe, and find your balance.
