A twelve-reformer studio above the railway arches. Three teachers, twelve classes a day, no mirrors. Soft light, slow tempo, real silence between the cues.
i. studio, 09:14We teach the things that work, slowly. Pilates on twelve Balanced Body reformers. Yoga in the soft second room. Breathwork at first light, twice a week. Every class is small. Every teacher knows your name by the third visit.
Classical Polestar-method work on twelve calibrated reformers. Slow, full-range, joint-by-joint. Built to last a body through forty years of desks.
Slow flow, yin and restorative. No Sanskrit-by-numbers, no playlist of ambient sighs. Mats provided, props on the wall, props in the room.
Six-thirty in the morning, twice a week. A guided forty minutes of box-breath, coherent breathing and a long, useful silence. Coffee is on the bench after.
Every teacher on the schedule has six years on a reformer or fifteen on a mat. Two have a clinical pilates background. None of them will tell you to feel your spine like a string of pearls.

ii. second room, 14:00Two rooms above the arches in London Fields. North-facing glass, cork floor, twelve reformers, no music in the main room. We don't sell merch. We don't post your workout to Instagram.
You'll feel the shape before you see it. We promise that's the better order.
Just the springs, the breath, and a teacher you can actually hear.
Class size is the practice. We cap at twelve so the teacher can still adjust every spring, every set.
Twelve minutes before anyone touches a foot bar. The session is better, and so is the morning after.
Drop in for the first class at twenty pounds. After that, most people settle on the eight-class membership; the unlimited tier is for teachers, dancers and the occasional ballet parent.
Twelve minutes before the foot bar. Mara on why we'll never shorten the warm-up, even when the schedule is full and the next class is already waiting outside.
We tried a year of curated playlists. The room got faster. The cues got louder. The injuries went up. The story of a quiet experiment.
Jule's two-minute box-breath script for the desk-bound. Print it, tape it inside the lid of your laptop, and forget you have it until you need it.
Four steps, two minutes. Reformer numbers are assigned at check-in; waitlist moves quickly. Cancel free up to six hours before; we'll text someone off the wait list.
Up a back stair off Mentmore Terrace. Cork floor, north-facing glass, a kettle that's always on. A small changing room with cedar benches. No app, no QR code - please just buzz the brass plate.
