Your best starting point depends on why you’re here. Match your situation to the class below.
If you sit at a desk all day: Book Mat Pilates. It rebuilds the core and postural muscles that switch off during long hours of sitting.
If you have lower-back pain: Book Pilates on the Ball. The Swiss ball engages stabilisers gently, without loading the spine.
If you want stretch and calm as much as strength: Book Yogilates Fusion. It blends Pilates core work with yoga breathing and mobility.
If you’re comfortable inverting and want spinal decompression: Book Aerial Yogalates. The silk hammock lets you work upside-down safely, using body weight as resistance.

Learn with experienced instructors who guide your form, breathing, and alignment, so every movement feels safe, controlled, and useful.
Choose Pilates sessions that fit your routine, from focused 45-minute classes to longer 60-minute sessions for strength, flexibility, and full-body control.
Train in a welcoming Greenwich Pilates environment where beginners, regular members, and returning exercisers can move with confidence.
The best time to try a Pilates class is when you least feel like moving: a Tuesday evening after work, a Saturday when your lower back is sore, a morning when the weather makes staying in bed easier. Book a session, walk in, and 45 minutes later you’ll notice the difference.

Never done Pilates before? Here’s how a class at our Greenwich studio runs. You arrive at 38 Creek Road, check in at reception, and are pointed toward the Main Studio. Mats, blocks, resistance bands, and Swiss balls are already laid out; you don’t need to bring anything except comfortable clothes and a water bottle.
Your instructor introduces the class, asks whether anyone has an injury or issue to be mindful of, and opens with five minutes of spinal and shoulder mobility. From there, the class moves into deep core activation, small, controlled movements that feel deceptively easy in the first thirty seconds and much harder after two minutes.
The main sequence runs 20 to 25 minutes and works the full body: abdominals, lower back, glutes, shoulders. Your instructor demonstrates each exercise, cues breath, and walks the room to correct alignment. The final five minutes are stretch and reset. Slower, calmer, quieter. You leave feeling worked but not wrecked, and taller than when you walked in.

Yes, Pilates is excellent for lower back pain. It is highly effective at reducing pain and disability. It works by strengthening your deep core (like the transverse abdominis), correcting poor posture, and mobilizing your spine.
The main difference is that yoga is an ancient, holistic practice that focuses on flexibility, mindfulness, and holding static poses. Pilates is a modern exercise system developed in the 20th century, which prioritizes core strength, muscular toning, and dynamic, continuous movements.
