REFORMER & MAT PILATES STUDIO OPENING THURSDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER
REFORMER & MAT PILATES STUDIO OPENING THURSDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER
I’m Lou, a qualified Mat, Reformer, and Pre & Postnatal Pilates instructor, trained in Australia and now based in York.
My classes are positive and flowing, with options for all levels from beginners to advanced—so you can always learn something new, challenge yourself, and feel supported while moving with confidence.
- I draw from experiencing a wide range of classes to bring the best elements into my teaching.
- My classes are varied and avoid a repetitive approach.
- I’m passionate about encouraging clients to push further and love seeing confidence growing class by class.
- As someone not typically very ‘sporty’, I believe in the power of Pilates to build both physical and mental strength.
My classes are light-hearted, combining creative sequencing with compassionate guidance encouraging all bodies to discover what they are truly capable of. Expect to leave energised and in awe of your own capabilities.

I started Pilates 15 years ago to build a stronger core to support my running and cycling—and to relieve lower back ache.

Pilates works. I’m still out there riding in ultra events—often the oldest woman on the course, and frequently the first one home.
I absolutely adore the Pilates method. When practiced correctly on the mat and on the reformer with the right springs for both the body and the exercise it truly delivers results.
Whether you’re here to build strength, support your sport, or simply move better in daily life, I’d love to help you experience what Pilates can do for you!

Hi, I’m Izzy! My journey began at a very young age where I found my love for dance. I progressed my passion further at SLP College Leeds, graduating with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Dance in 2021. I continued my studies at the University of Chichester graduating a 2:1 degree in Dance Performance in 2023. In my graduate year, I had a teaching role at a private institution in Sussex. After which, I departed from the UK for my travels to Australia and South East Asia!
My journey with Pilates began whilst living in Australia, participating daily in both mat and reformer classes. In my sessions, I aim to create an inclusive, enjoyable and welcoming environment where you leave feeling empowered and confident! You can expect a blend of technique and precision whilst always feeling the burn with a little bit of spice added to all my classes!
Barry Vardy is thrilled to be guest teaching at pureform. With over 16 years teaching Pilates here in his home town of York. He classes will deliver a unique blend of Pilates and stand-up comedy.
