Beginner-only yoga and pilates, six people at a time

Every session runs 90 minutes with one instructor in the room. You learn the shape of a movement before you add pace, so nothing turns into a race to keep up.

Session anatomy

What happens in 90 minutes

Every beginner session follows the same four stages, in the same order. Nothing is improvised, and you can stop and rest at any point without explaining why.

  1. 10 min

    Settle and check in

    You arrive, take off your shoes and sit on a mat. The instructor asks how your body feels today and writes down anything that needs a modification. There is no large room to walk into.

  2. 20 min

    One principle, explained

    A single principle for the day, such as breathing with movement or where the spine sits. It is demonstrated slowly, then you try it twice. No flow, no sequence to memorise.

  3. 45 min

    Guided practice

    Controlled movement, seated and standing, with props within reach. Corrections are quiet and individual. Six mats, one instructor, so nobody is left guessing.

  4. 15 min

    Close and questions

    A slow finish on the floor, then two or three questions answered for the whole group. You leave knowing what next week covers and what to practise at home, if anything.

Four stages, one room, 90 minutes in total. The same structure runs in every group, at every level of the course.

04Group ratio

Six people, one instructor, ninety minutes

The number is the format, not a marketing line. Six mats, one teacher, and enough silence in the room to hear a single correction about your shoulder.

Foundations

Six weeks, one session a week, the same six people

The course runs one session per week for six weeks. Each session lasts 90 minutes with a maximum of six participants and one instructor, and the same group stays together from the first week to the last.

  1. 01 Breath and base

    Lying and seated positions, rib and pelvis awareness, and how to leave a posture without straining.

  2. 02 Standing foundation

    Feet, weight shift and a balanced stance, practised slowly enough to notice what changes.

  3. 03 Twisting and turning

    Rotating the spine while standing and seated, with the hips kept steady and the breath unhurried.

  4. 04 Folding forward

    Hips, hamstrings and spine length, using support where the body asks for it.

  5. 05 Support and extension

    Backbends taken from the upper back, so the lower back is not asked to do the work alone.

  6. 06 Putting it together

    Linking the six weeks into one short sequence and writing down notes for practice at home.

One make-up session is allowed per course. No previous practice is required, and every posture has a supported version.

Who this is for

Built for the first six weeks, not for the fifth year

Most people arrive unsure whether they belong in a studio at all. Here is a plain check before you book.

Choose this studio if

  • You have never taken a yoga or pilates class, or you last tried one years ago.
  • You want an instructor close enough to correct your position by hand.
  • You prefer a slow explanation of a posture over a quick demonstration.
  • You are returning after a long break and want to move carefully.
  • You learn better with the same faces in the room each week.

Choose another studio if

  • You want a demanding, sweat-heavy practice.
  • You need medical or rehabilitative help. We teach movement, not treatment.
  • You are looking for advanced postures such as inversions or deep backbends.
  • You want drop-in classes at any hour with a different teacher each time.
  • You are training for a competition or a performance.

Not sure which group fits? Send one sentence about your experience and we will answer honestly, even when the honest answer is another studio. Book a beginner session, or read the six-week sequence first.
