Whether you're new to movement or returning to your body after a break, these classes offer the core principles, breath awareness, and body intelligence that will support you across all forms of practice.

Pilates Essentials

Strengthen from the Inside Out

Build your foundation. Find your center. Move with confidence.

Pilates Essentials is the perfect place to begin—or return to—the intelligent, core-centered world of Pilates. Whether you're brand new or looking to reestablish your foundation, this class guides you through the essential principles and movements that will support every other form of exercise you do.

What to Expect

In Pilates Essentials, we focus on the deep inner unit of core support—known as the Pilates Powerhouse. These four key muscles work as a team to stabilize your spine and create a strong, resilient center:

  • Pelvic Floor

  • Diaphragm

  • Multifidus (spinal stabilizers)

  • Transverse Abdominis (deep core)

You’ll learn the importance of neutral spine, core breath, and functional stability, while progressing through foundational Pilates exercises that focus on posture, alignment, and mindful control. The pace is steady and detailed, with plenty of space to refine technique. The sessions are predominately lying down, on all fours or seated. 

This Class Will Help You:

  • Reconnect with your core in a safe, sustainable way

  • Improve posture, spinal alignment, and everyday movement

  • Strengthen your balance, breath, and body awareness

  • Lay the groundwork for more dynamic movement practices

It’s not just about abs—it’s about functional strength for life.

Most people have no idea how good

their bodies can feel! 

Hatha Yoga Essentials

Breathe. Balance. Be. (And maybe wobble a bit—that’s part of the magic.)

Introduction

Welcome to the class where slowing down is the power move.

Hatha Yoga Essentials is your friendly, grounding space to reconnect with your body, breath, and that elusive thing called “inner peace”—without needing to fold yourself into a pretzel. Perfect for beginners, returners, and anyone who wants to move, breathe, and feel better without the pressure to nail a handstand.

This class focuses on a primarily standing series of asanas, approached with somatic awareness. Translation? We listen to the body and let it lead—no forcing, no rushing, and no need to touch your toes (unless you really want to).

What to Expect

  • Breath-led movement and time to actually feel what's happening

  • A mix of wobbles, wiggles, and aha moments in standing postures

  • Alignment cues that make sense—and don’t require a yoga dictionary

  • Props and rollers are totally welcome (because yoga isn’t a punishment)

  • A guided relaxation at the end that might just be your favourite part

  • A space where socks, sighs, and soft giggles are all completely allowed

This isn’t the yoga of Instagram—it’s the yoga of real life. The kind that meets you where you are and gives you permission to just be.

How This Will Help You

  • Feel more balanced (even when you're not perfectly balanced)

  • Build strength and flexibility without the drama

  • Calm your mind (or at least take the edge off the chaos)

  • Improve posture, coordination, and confidence

  • Develop body awareness that actually makes daily life easier

  • Leave class feeling lighter, calmer, and maybe even smiling

Hatha Yoga Essentials is where yoga meets real life—and real bodies. Come as you are, breathe a little deeper, and let your body thank you for showing up.

''I've just finished my first Pilates course at ENERGYBODi, and I can hardly wait to carry on.

 

I've been practicing Ashtanga yoga for years, but was struggling with an injury/poor posture in my shoulders.

 

A head/whiplash injury several months ago worsened my neck and shoulder problems, and brought me to Pilates to try and take a more active role in my recovery. My pain was much improved after the very first session.

 

My body feels different in general and I have learned some simple techniques I can continue to practice every day to keep my body relaxed and pain free. I have also been really aware of how rested and rejuvenated I feel after classes.

 

I love the self massage and mindfulness techniques you include and the music has been really

excellent. This has been so much more than just a physical movement class for me, you have really nurtured my whole self with the lovely safe space you hold and the care you show.
