Prêt à Pilates
Boutique Reformer Pilates Studio in Haywards Heath, West Sussex – Discover the power of reformer Pilates in a calm, supportive, and private studio space. Led by experienced instructor Kirstin Stewart.
Why Reformer Pilates?
Over 20 years of teaching, I have curated a method blending and fusing the precision and principles of the original, classical Reformer method with innovative, dynamic movements to create a reformer session with a fresh contemporary twist. While the classical method emphasises strict adherence to Joseph Pilates’ original sequences, focusing on controlled, flowing exercises to build core strength and alignment, my modern approach incorporates all the above but with creative variations, functional movements and props.
Builds core strength
Strengthen the deep stabilising muscles that support your spine and protect your body in everyday movement.
Improves posture
Counteract the effects of desk work, stress, and modern lifestyles by encouraging a taller, more balanced posture.
Enhances flexibility
Stretch and lengthen muscles while improving joint mobility, leaving your body freer and lighter.
Aids rehabilitation
Gentle, controlled, low-impact movements make it a safe and effective option for injury recovery.
Challenges all levels
Exercises can be adapted to suit complete beginners, seasoned athletes, and everyone in between.
mind-body connection
Focus on precision, breath, and control to move with intention, reduce stress, and feel more connected to your body.

Reformer Pilates
What you will get in my classes...
Reformer Pilates is more than a workout—it’s a transformative movement experience that redefines strength, mobility, and body awareness. Unlike traditional exercise, Reformer Pilates uses a dynamic, spring-loaded machine to create resistance and support, allowing for a full-body workout that’s bone-friendly yet highly effective.
Total-Body Strength
You’ll work every muscle group from head to toe, building strength safely that’s both powerful and sustainable.
Dynamic, 3D Movement
The exercises move your body through multiple planes of motion, reflecting how you naturally move in life.
Core Stability & Posture
In your lessons you will prioritise intrinsic muscles near the spine and joints, creating a strong foundation that improves posture and supports everyday movements.
Neurological Mastery
The workouts are thoughtfully designed to be diverse enough to keep you engaged, yet repetitive enough to build neurological pathways.
PNF Stretching
Unlock your body’s full potential with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching! This powerful technique combines gentle stretches with targeted muscle contractions to dramatically improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion. By working with your body’s natural reflexes, PNF helps you stretch further, faster, and safer than traditional methods. Perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone recovering from injury
