Members join Mike Perry for his two Sunday online classes - Secrets of the Boomerang, and the rock/roll exercises.
19th & 26th April 2026 - 10am -11.30am.
Prompted by a conversation during the Push Up focused classes last year, this workshops will aim to dissect the Boomerang, Open Leg Rocker, Seal and (if everyone’s in the mood) even the Crab. The Boomerang has long been my favourite exercise - for me it’s the most fun and I believe it’s accessible to a wider population than we might imagine…
We’ll explore the component parts - range of movement, control and psychological safety of each of the exercises, and use prep exercises and mobility drills (learned from Ido Portal and FRC particularly) to see what we may need more of.
It’s my hope that this will lead to greater freedom and self-efficacy in taking on these exercises, and more joy too.
Open to Members: £18 for 3 hours over two Sundays.

Members join Marguerite Galizia on 8th March at 10am for a one-hour class - Organising from the Breath
The body’s inherent asymmetry has a particular impact on the breath. We have three lung lobes on the right and only two on the left, with asymmetries echoing down into the diaphragm’s crura and movement. This matwork session aims to reveal the subtle difference between left and right lung breathing as a means of unlocking better organisation at the core level of breath. This class is loosely based on the work of Ron Hruska (Postural Restoration Institute) and Pilates teachers Donna Parise Byrne & Dr Sarah Petrich (Re-Balance Pilates).
Marguerite Galizia is a dance artist-researcher and a Pilates teacher. Marguerite has been teaching Pilates matwork since 2007 and she completed her equipment apprenticeship in 2016. Marguerite combines a detailed teaching approach with a genuine love for movement. Her work is informed by her own ongoing training in somatic movement practices.

Ever wondered what’s really going on inside your amazing body as you move, stretch, and breathe? Our next free Pilates Foundation Book Club is diving into Bill Bryson’s The Body: A Guide for Occupants — a fascinating (and funny!) journey through the human body, from head to toe.
Bryson unpacks the incredible systems that keep us alive — and reminds us just how miraculous it is to be in motion. It’s full of facts about how our bodies work (and sometimes don’t). Perfect reading for anyone who loves Pilates, movement, and a bit of science served with wit.
Come chat with us about it at our next Pilates Book Club — we’ll chat, laugh, and maybe learn a few new things about these amazing bodies we move in every day. // To sign up see the link in our bio.
