Looking for Pilates in Derby? Our Yoga Strength & Pilates class blends the heart of yoga with the precision of mat Pilates.

It combines traditional Hatha yoga postures, mindful breath and moments of stillness with the core strength, alignment and controlled movement of Pilates. Everything happens on the mat, with props and your own body weight. There’s no reformer machine.

What to expect

Expect a steady, grounding practice that builds strength and stability. Moving with intention, you’ll explore fluid yoga sequences alongside precise Pilates-inspired exercises.

It’s ideal if you enjoy a mindful yet strengthening practice: the depth of yoga with the intelligent, functional movement of Pilates.

The benefits of yoga and mat Pilates

  • Core strength. The Pilates elements build deep core strength and support joint stability.
  • Posture. Strong, well-aligned muscles help you stand and sit taller.
  • Mobility and flexibility. The yoga elements open the body and encourage ease of movement.
  • Balance and body awareness. Together they improve coordination, so everyday movement feels more supported.
  • Back care. Many people find this style helpful for their back and for preventing injury.
  • A calm, focused mind. Breath awareness leaves you feeling centred and grounded.

Check the timetable for class times, or get in touch if you have a question.

Questions

Is this reformer Pilates?
No. It's mat based, using props and your own body weight. There are no reformer machines.
Do I need to have done Pilates or yoga before?
It's a steady, grounding practice that moves with intention, not a fast workout. If you're completely new to yoga, a Beginners' class is a good first step.
Is it good for my back?
Many people find this style helpful for back care. The Pilates work builds deep core strength and supports good posture and joint stability.
