CORE by Laura

Mindful movement to enhance your physical and mental wellbeing. I can't wait to meet you on the mat.

As a Registered Yoga Teacher and a BASI trained Pilates Teacher, I am dedicated to guiding individuals towards greater health and wellbeing through the transfomative power of Pilates and yoga. My mission is to help each client unlock their full potential and experience the myriad benefits of a consistent Pilates and yoga practice. Having also worked as a qualified Personal Trainer, I have had the

privilege of working with some of the biggest names in the corporate world such as Coca-Cola and ExxonMobil, delivering comprehensive employee health and wellbeing programmes. These experiences have further fueled my passion for empowering individuals to prioritise their physical and mental health. At OmCore Pilates & Yoga, I believe in creating a supportive community where everyone feels comfortable and empowered to reach their full potential. In my small and welcoming classes, you are not just another face in the crowd, but instead you’ll receive personalised attention and modifications tailored to your needs. With over 9 years experience as fitness and wellbeing professional, I have the knowledge and expertise in guiding students through safe and effective practices.

My lovely Pilates ladies at Tavistock Physio Clinic celebrating a very special 80th Birthday! 🎉💛

This group inspires me every week with their strength, humour, and commitment to moving well. Seeing someone reach 80 with such energy and joy is a powerful reminder that Pilates truly supports us through every stage of life.

Happy Birthday to our amazing birthday girl — and thank you all for showing what strong, graceful ageing really looks like. 💫

🌞 The most glorious morning for outdoor yoga!

This week I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Australian Over 60s cricket team as they tour Devon & Cornwall — helping them prepare both body and mind for the matches ahead! 🏏🇦🇺💪

Did you know that Pilates was originally called Contrology?

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, Contrology was his method for achieving complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. It’s the foundation of the Pilates method we know today!

In his book Return to Life Through Contrology, Pilates outlined 34 original mat-based exercises designed to transform the body and mind.

As he wrote: "Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit." – Joseph Pilates

Hanging Back on the Cadillac – one of my favourites from the BASI Pilates Graduate Programme 💫

An advanced exercise that challenges spinal extensor strength, spinal flexor control, and hip extensor control.

Still a work in progress but I always feel great after! 🙌

🍓🎾 Wimbledon is here! 🎾🍓

There’s no better time to bring the tennis balls into class!

No gimmicks — just a simple, effective way to help you refine your technique and maybe enjoy a little massage at the end of the class!

Keep an eye out… you’ll be spotting the tennis balls in class over the next two weeks! 👀✨

OmCore is evolving → CORE by Laura

Over the past few years, my classes and 1:1 sessions have naturally evolved with a stronger focus on Pilates, core strength, and movement that supports your whole body from the inside out.

With the recent launch of my dedicated Pilates studio and growing demand for personalised 1:1 sessions, now feels like the perfect time for a fresh new chapter. OmCore is becoming CORE by Laura.

It’s still me, offering the same high quality, expert-led movement, just with a name that better reflects the heart of my work today.

While Pilates is the foundation of what I offer, I continue to teach yoga with a gentle blend of Pilates principles woven in to enhance strength, control, and mindful movement.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way, and to those just joining in. I’d love to hear what you think of the new name. 💛

Happy Monday 💛
Just a little reminder to take a moment for yourself.
Do something that helps you relax and feel refreshed.
Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can help you find your calm and reset.

Take that moment — you’ve earned it.

Here’s a glimpse into my studio — a calm, private space just outside Tavistock, where movement meets precision. With state-of-the-art BASI Systems equipment, each 1:1 session is tailored to leave you feeling stronger, more balanced, and great in your body.

My mum had her very first Reformer Pilates session with me today — and she did so well!

It was a joy to guide her through the repertoire and see her embrace the challenge.

Here’s to strong bodies at every age and sharing what we love with the people we love.💛

Swapped Pilates for climbing today - my second time back on the wall after a 10+ year break!

Fun fact: Climbing was the first movement I ever taught 20 years ago! I spent time as a certified Climbing Instructor, helping disadvantaged children to gain confidence through the sport.

There’s nothing like the joy of seeing a new client self-correct in class! 🤩 As a Pilates teacher, it’s incredibly rewarding to watch clients not only understand the purpose of an exercise but also build the body awareness and strength to control their movements. Last week, I couldn’t help but cheer on my beginner client as she shifted from her usual lumbar dominance and found her thoracic extension during Back Extension!
