Every class at Chapel Allerton Pilates starts the same way. At the feet.

It might feel like a gentle beginning. It isn't.

In those first few minutes on the Reformer, a skilled teacher is already learning everything they need to know. How your heels track. Whether one hip grips. Where your body holds tension before it's even been asked to work.

The feet tell the whole story.

This is one of the things that makes traditional apparatus-based Pilates so different from anything else. Joseph Pilates designed the Reformer so that even the simplest movement could reveal and begin to change deeply held patterns in the body. Footwork wasn't an afterthought. It was always the foundation.

When you understand why we start there, something shifts. You stop waiting for the class to get harder. You start paying attention to what's already happening.

That quality of attention is what makes small group Pilates at a studio like this so different from a large class or a gym. There's space to notice. Space to listen. Space to actually change.

Come and experience it for yourself. 🌿

Pelvic floor symptoms are common. They are not something you just have to live with.

So many women come to our Whole Body Pelvic Health classes at our Pilates studio in Leeds having quietly managed leaking, heaviness, pelvic pain, or prolapse for years. Some have been told it's just part of getting older. Part of having children. Part of life.

It isn't.

With the right movement, the right breath, and genuinely specialist support, symptoms can improve. Not overnight. But meaningfully, progressively, and in a way that lasts.

This is a warm, female-only space where nothing is too awkward to mention and every woman leaves feeling better than when she arrived. Clare and Amanda are both specialist-trained and deeply passionate about this work. They've lived it and they teach it with real care.

Come as you are. There is no wrong starting point.

Mondays 2pm with Clare / Tuesdays 9:30am with Amanda.
Classes fill quickly, so book ahead to guarantee your place.

Nobody tells you how strange it feels to lose confidence in your own body during pregnancy.

You used to be active. And then suddenly everything can feel uncertain.

Most women end up doing nothing, not because they don't want to move, but because nobody has given them the right guidance.

Prenatal Reformer Pilates at our Pilates studio in Leeds exists for exactly this moment.

A small, warm class on Tuesday evenings where you can build real strength, ease tension, and learn the pelvic floor and breathing techniques that genuinely support you through birth and beyond.

Taught by Sadie, a specialist-trained Polestar Pilates teacher, nurse and mum who has lived this herself.

No experience needed. All stages of pregnancy welcome. Maximum 8 in class, so you'll always feel seen.

You don't have to just get through the next few months. You can feel good in your body.

Come and find out. 🌿

Meet Amanda Richardson-Brown 🌟

With 13 years of Pilates practice and a year of teaching, Amanda brings a thoughtful, nurturing approach to movement and wellbeing.

She discovered Pilates after having her four children, and it became a truly transformative practice.

Moving away from traditional gym environments, Amanda found something deeper. Pilates helped her reconnect with her body in a way that felt both empowering and meaningful.

After experiencing challenging postnatal recoveries, Pilates restored her trust in her body’s ability to heal, leaving her feeling stronger, more connected, and even bringing back a sense of lightness and energy in her everyday life.

Amanda’s teaching style is curious and mindful, creating a calm space where you can explore your movement, build awareness, and feel truly at home in your body.

Join Amanda on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for Reformer or Pilates Gym!

Or take a moment for yourself with a lunchtime session you might be surprised how much better the rest of your day feels 💫
