Saturday plans? We have a suggestion.

Start with Pilates. Get your body moving, have a laugh with your favourite people and feel smug that you’ve already done something good for yourself before the weekend has even properly started.

Head off for coffee after class. Have a wander around Bere Farm. Meet a friend for lunch. Do some shopping. Or go home and put your pyjamas straight back on. We’re not here to judge!

That’s what we love about a Saturday morning at Vagabond. Pilates becomes part of your weekend, not another thing you have to squeeze into it.

Come for the Pilates. Stay for the people. Make a morning of it.

When the family routine shifts again, what are you going to put back into yours?

September doesn't need a total reinvention.

Were you a Vagabond regular who dropped off over summer? Don't feel awkward, just come back, we'd love to see you.

Running around after babies or grandbabies and feeling like your body's ageing faster than your mind?

Deep in peri-menopause and craving something different to running or HIIT?

Training for an event and want to stay injury free?

Pilates might be the missing link.

Sometimes it's just one hour a week to switch off from the to-do list and let someone else plan the session, for once.

Our instructors meet you exactly where you're starting. Please do not feel pressure to already feel fit, flexible or confident. Leave that to us.

You do NOT need to be flexible to start Pilates.

We hear this from clients constantly and it's a myth we're busting today.

Flexibility isn't an entry requirement. A Pilates class isn't a performance of how far you can reach. Your instructor is watching how you move, where we can help, and how to get you there.

Struggle to tie your shoelaces? Wince picking up after the kids (or the dog)? Dread bending down to grab something off the floor? That's exactly what Pilates is for.

Arrive stiff in the body. Arrive unsure. Arrive completely new to the equipment. That's what Vagabond is here for and you're in great company, and the only way from here is up.

You don't have to say "I'm just getting older" and accept it. Not on our watch.

Start with our 2 for £35 and your future self will send a thank-you note.

Tag someone who's been waiting to feel "ready."

Which class is actually for you: Core, Build or Collective?

Core is where it all starts, and honestly, where a lot of people happily stay. You'll learn the real Pilates repertoire and the principles behind it. Steady pace, steady transitions, proper foundations. And here's the thing: you can always come back to Core, whenever your body needs something a bit less full on.

Build picks up the pace. Transitions get quicker, we step back a little on the teaching, and you start moving with more confidence. The repertoire stops feeling like new vocabulary and starts feeling like second nature. Loads of Vagabonds land here and never leave. Fair enough too.

Collective brings the flow, the variety, the challenge. This is for anyone who wants to work harder and move through more complex sequences, seated to kneeling and beyond. Confidence is great, but so is knowing how to stabilise properly. Clarity over cockiness every time!

None of this is a test of how "good" you are at Pilates. There's no such thing. You might be nursing a ni**le, eight weeks postpartum, or a pro athlete. Doesn't matter to us - we have space for everyone, there is a class for you.

Interested in further progression? There is Mastery too but this class is invite only - for good reason!

Not sure where you fit? Ask an instructor, or drop Tijan, our admin legend a message. That's literally what we're here for.

Save this for your next booking, or message us and we'll sort you out.

A cue that is often overused and misunderstood: shoulders back and down.

This clip was filmed during an instructor training session with in July, where the team were looking at scapula placement during the set up in Chest Expansion. Tim, like many of us, is rounded in the shoulders and slightly winged in the shoulder blade. By drawing the shoulders back and down you can see that the scapula is stabilised, the collarbones opened, and Tim was able to achieve the essence of Chest Expansion.

Training the eye, and really understanding how to appropriately apply the cues many of us learn during intensive training courses, takes time. Teaching the body in front of you takes knowledge, experience and confidence, and this is why all of our instructors view themselves as lifelong students.

A big thank you to for sharing her knowledge with the team and continuing to challenge how we think about movement and how we apply our knowledge.

Save this for your next class, or try this correction at home during the day and see if you can feel an instant postural change and a more supported, stabilised shoulder.
