Instagram feels so noisy and to be honest, overwhelming. Maybe I follow to many Pilates accounts 🫣😅

Big things happening at Pilates East so we’re keeping our head down, doing what we do best and quietly getting on 🫶🏻

into a Mixed Apparatus class at Pilates East - the Full Pilates Studio Experience.

Using all pieces of Apparatus including the Reformer, Cadillac, Towers, Wunda Chair, Barrels, Small props and Matwork.

Just 4 clients in a class, working around the studio.

There are no ‘levels’ for this class, it’s mixed ability, but clients do work more independently so experience in a 1:1 setting or in a Fundamental class are vital.

The teacher will decide on the day what Apparatus you are working on depending on what the bodies need. Sometimes, the class will stay together, other times everyone is working individually throughout the studio.

It is 100% tailored to you, in a group setting! What’s not to love 🫶🏻

Norwich has been voted the best place to live in the UK by The Sunday Times, but we already knew that 🫶🏻🥳

11 years ago, I (Lauren - studio owner) moved to Norwich after visiting for a day.

I grew up on the Hertfordshire/North London border, did all my schooling and dance college training in North and South London respectively, spent my teens and early 20’s auditioning, working and socialising in London, and I still and will always love London, but Norwich is home.

Putting family and business roots down in Norwich genuinely was the best decision I ever made. Bringing up my children in Norfolk is a joy. And owning a Norwich based business makes me so proud 🥳

I’ve defended Norwich on many occasions. People don’t always see its charm, which always baffles me. The history, beauty, friendliness, strong independent scene, local, familiar feel, incredible programme of cultural events are all truly amazing.

It’s great to see Norwich getting the recognition it deserves and we love being a tiny part of that!

Pilates is Pilates.

What do we mean by that? Pilates was created as a full system which includes both the Matwork AND working in a studio across all Apparatus.

At Pilates East we teach Classical Pilates on Classical Apparatus.

There aren’t different ‘types’ of Pilates, it’s all just Pilates.

‘Reformer Pilates’ is not a distinct form of Pilates. It’s Pilates using just one small piece of the Pilates puzzle.

I bet that if everyone who loves the Reformer tried the Tower or Wunda Chair, moving around the studio, depending on what their body needs, they would love it just as much, if not more!

The Electric chair or High Chair is on of the most powerful pieces of Apparatus.

The first ‘chair’ we introduce you to, quite often on your first visit. It’s strong, supportive but challenges control and stability.

Understand where your body is. Find your lift, square your box and up you go!

Fundamental classes teach you the Intro level Classical Pilates exercises, transitions and principles of Pilates. Understand the technique, setup & safety before you progress.

Suitable if you are new to Pilates, returning after a break or wanting to nail the basics to get the most from your Pilates practice.

We use the Reformer, Cadillac and Tower and Chairs or focus on the Classical Mat in our Monday evening Matwork classes.

Strong Pilates foundations really are non negotiable if you want to progress. This means lots of repetition, a big focus on technique, understanding the ‘how and why’ and building strength from the inside, out!
