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.

The magic happens in the smallest of details — Pilates is about precision, moving with intention and control, and cultivating deep body awareness.

👋🏻 For those who don’t know me yet — I’m Laura, and I’ve been working in the world of wellbeing since 2009. 🌿✨

My journey began as a Personal Trainer in London and Surrey, where I led workplace health, fitness, and wellbeing programmes for global companies like Coca-Cola and ExxonMobil. I helped their teams move more, feel better, build resilience, and perform at their best — both at work and in life. 💪🏻🌟

After spending time in corporate marketing within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, I realised that nothing fulfilled me more than helping people improve their physical and mental wellbeing through movement. Returning to the wellbeing industry felt like coming home — a chance to make a meaningful impact on both body and mind. This passion led me to earn internationally recognised teaching qualifications in both yoga and Pilates. 🧘‍♀️

I went on to complete my Comprehensive Pilates training with BASI, a world-leading Pilates education academy. This intensive programme covered the full Pilates system, including apparatus such as the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and Spine Corrector — equipping me to support clients with a broad range of needs, goals, and abilities.

Today, I run CORE by Laura, offering small group classes and personalised 1:1 studio sessions designed to meet you where you are. With passion and precision, I guide you through purposeful movement that enhances how you feel and move, building a strong foundation for lasting wellbeing. 🌟

Ready to start your journey? Send me a DM — I’d love to help you feel your best! 💬✨

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! 🙌

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.
