Pilates,centred around you.
Personal Pilates in an intimate studio setting in Hockley, Essex. Specialising in 1:1 and duet sessions using the Reformer, Tower and Pilates apparatus, alongside small-group Mat classes. Thoughtful, individual teaching rooted in the Pilates method, with an emphasis on strength, alignment, mobility and body awareness.
The approach
Finding your centre.
Centring is one of the fundamental principles of Pilates. Rooted in Joseph Pilates' original method, movement begins from the centre of the body: the powerhouse: providing the foundation for strength, stability and coordinated movement.
But finding your centre is also about awareness. Understanding how your body moves, recognising where movement originates and appreciating how even the smallest adjustment can make a difference.
At Centre: Pilates, I teach with attention to detail, alignment and the body working as a whole. It’s about learning the method, not simply performing the exercises.
Strength with mobility
Build strength through purposeful movement while maintaining the mobility needed to move freely and confidently.
Met where you are
New to Pilates or ready for more challenge, the work can be adapted and progressed from where you are.
Mind & body
Pilates asks you to pay attention to how you move, developing concentration and body awareness alongside physical strength.

About Emily
Strength, detail and a genuine passion for Pilates.
What I love about Pilates is that there’s always more to discover. An exercise you’ve practised countless times can feel entirely different with the smallest adjustment. That depth, precision and attention to detail continue to fascinate me.
But Pilates has also had a profound impact on me personally. For years, my approach to exercise was centred around pushing harder, often leaving me feeling depleted rather than stronger. Discovering Pilates helped me rebuild a healthier relationship with exercise. I learnt to appreciate the importance of looking after my body, while still challenging it physically, and found myself free from the injuries that had previously interrupted my training.
That experience sparked a genuine passion for understanding the method and the principles behind it. I’ve since trained across Mat, Reformer and Tower Pilates, alongside qualifying as a Strength Coach, and continue to deepen my knowledge through specialist education, workshops and my own practice.
Centre: Pilates brings that experience and enthusiasm together. A warm, welcoming studio where I can share my passion for the method and encourage people to discover movement that makes them feel good. My approach is personal, meeting you where you are, with thoughtful teaching, individual attention and the right level of challenge for you.
