Our ethos

At Lauren Hilton Pilates, we believe that mindful movement is a powerful tool for wellbeing.

Our studio exists to help you reconnect with your body in a kind, considered and empowering way — whether you’re recovering from injury, returning postnatally, managing stress, or simply looking to move with more ease and confidence.

We take a whole-person approach to Pilates. That means:

  • Small, personalised classes

  • Highly trained, compassionate teachers

  • A calm, supportive environment where you can breathe, move and feel better

Pilates is more than exercise — it’s a practice of awareness, alignment, and self-respect. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

I was first recommended Pilates over eighteen years ago to help with a back injury. I soon felt the benefits, no more back pain, and this unwavering feeling of inner strength and calm, there was no going back!

Lauren’s teaching is grounded in the belief that Pilates should meet you exactly where you are — with care, curiosity, and kindness. She loves helping clients reconnect with their bodies and find a sense of strength that goes beyond the physical.

I first started attending classes simply to help my posture after working from home; I could never have imagined how much it would have altered my daily life and my increased sense of wellbeing - a feeling I truly hope to give to others when they attend one of my classes. 

Hannah brings calm, presence and encouragement to her teaching. She’s especially passionate about creating space for clients to slow down, breathe, and build strength in a way that supports everyday life.

After struggling with chronic health conditions, Pilates allowed me to feel and move my body in new ways. During the tough times, Pilates became a lifeline in mindful and peaceful movement.

Tish’s clinical background gives her a deep appreciation for how movement supports healing. She loves helping clients feel informed, empowered, and more at home in their bodies — no matter where they’re starting from.

Sarah - Studio Manager and Pilates advocate

Pilates is my sanctuary. My practice has supported me through many milestones and challenges - two pregnancies, two spinal surgeries, frozen shoulder, peri-menopause and working at a desk all day. Pilates keeps me mobile and calms my mind one fantastically freeing hour at a time!

We’re dedicated to providing a supportive, personalised, and holistic Pilates experience that nurtures both body and mind

“Brilliant, each week I come out feeling relaxed, walking on air and slightly taller.

Lauren is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. It is a group session but I feel like it is my hour, just for me.”
