A woman in an olive long-sleeved set sits cross-legged on the floor with one hand resting on the ground, beside a whitewashed brick wall and a plant.

Control first, then strength.

ORVESSA classes follow Pilates principles: steady breathing, careful alignment and slow, controlled movement. You learn the basics first, then add pace, load and range when your form holds.

  • Clear levels

    Every class says who it suits, from a first class to advanced work.

  • A steady pace

    Slow, precise movement, with cues for breath and alignment.

  • A weekly routine

    Morning, midday and evening classes, so practice fits your week.

Ways to move

Four kinds of class, and one approach: learn the set-up, then add pace and load.

The reformer

A sliding carriage, springs for resistance and a footbar to push from. Reformer Foundations teaches the set-up. Reformer Flow links the exercises into one sequence.

Reformer classes
Mat and small props

Classical mat exercises with a ring and a soft ball to help you find each position. Most exercises come in a simpler and a harder version.

Mat classes
Light weights and bands

Slow, controlled sets with hand weights and resistance bands for the legs, back, arms and core, finished with a short stretch.

Strength classes
Slow mobility

Unhurried work for the spine, hips and shoulders with a foam roller and a strap, and a longer stretch at the end. No jumping and nothing fast.

Mobility classes
Guided from the start

Each exercise is explained before you try it, and the instructor shows you how to set the springs, straps and props.

What you will use in class

The reformer

A carriage that slides on a timber frame. Springs underneath set the resistance, and the footbar at one end gives you something to push from.
