Instructors
Four instructors, each with their own specialism, all teaching to the same standard. You will get to know them quickly — the classes are small enough that everyone does.
Strength & alignment
Founder & Lead Reformer Instructor
Amara opened Lumen after a decade of teaching in studios that always felt a little too loud. Her classes are precise and quietly demanding — expect to leave taller than you arrived.
Comprehensive Classical Pilates · 2,400 teaching hours
Rehabilitation & mobility
Senior Instructor
A former physiotherapy assistant, Theo works with anyone easing back from injury. He is unhurried, endlessly patient, and very good at explaining why a movement matters.
Contemporary Pilates · Post-rehabilitation certified
Beginners & confidence
Reformer & Foundations Instructor
Nia teaches most of our Foundations courses because nobody makes a first class feel less intimidating. Warm, funny, and quietly insistent that you can do more than you think.
Comprehensive Pilates · Prenatal certified
Breath & restorative work
Instructor & Programme Director
Mei writes our programming and teaches the slower end of the timetable. Her sessions lean into breath and restoration — the ones people book when the week has been long.
Classical Pilates · Somatic movement practitioner
Work one to one
Private sessions are 55 minutes with the instructor of your choice, programmed entirely around your body and your goals.
