Meet Bryony; Your Pilates Teacher in Twickenham

A Teacher Who Sees the Whole You

Hi, I’m Bryony, a fully qualified Pilates teacher based in Twickenham, with over 20 years of experience helping people reconnect with their bodies, build strength, and find joy in movement.

I specialise in rehabilitative and mindful Pilates, blending classical and contemporary methods to support real people with real lives, whether you’re managing an injury, navigating menopause, recovering postnatally, or simply looking for space to breathe and move.

For me, Pilates isn’t about the perfect pose or ticking boxes. It’s about listening to your body, moving with intention, and discovering what strength and mobility mean for you.

I believe in:

  • Making movement accessible for every body

  • Creating inclusive, judgment-free spaces

  • Tailoring sessions to support your unique needs, energy, and goals

From small group classes in Twickenham to 1:1 home sessions and online Zoom options, I aim to make Pilates feel as supportive and personal as possible.

My Teaching Philosophy

My Background & Training

My journey began in the world of dance and theatre, where I first discovered the deep mind-body connection that Pilates encourages. Since then, I’ve trained extensively in:

  • Classical and Contemporary Pilates methods

  • Reformer and mat-based Pilates

  • Pre- and postnatal Pilates

  • Pilates for rehabilitation and injury recovery

  • Older adult and osteoporosis-informed movement

I also continue to study biomechanics, fascia release, and holistic movement approaches that inform how I teach today.

  • Bryony’s online Pilates classes are perfect for me. Convenient and easy to fit into a busy schedule but there is no compromise on personal attention as Bryony’s expert eagle eye sees everything and she is very sensitive to everybody’s individual needs. Professional safe hands with a fun and informal delivery.

  • Best experience with Pilates in a group ! After years of doing Pilates in a gym and privately on reformer I found this combination of online and in class formula really effective. Bryony is an excellent teacher very knowledgeable about the physiology as well as hands on demonstration going from one person to next. You feel the difference! Online she is monitoring our cameras and giving feedback when needed. A great class! Full of energy annd humour and immediate results!

  • I've known Bryony for many years and have attended Pilates classes as well as one to one reformer pilates sessions with her. I've always considered Bryony's pilates an essential part of my wellbeing, and it was an integral part of my recovery after a car accident a few years ago. I've joined Bryony for a pilates retreat in November, which was absolutely fantastic. Bryony teaches in a very easy to understand manner, she is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and hands-on. I consider the retreat as a highlight of my wellbeing journey and loved every minute, I can't wait for the next retreat.

  • I have been doing Pilates regularly for about 20 yrs, mainly in gym classes. When the pandemic came, I started running more but I missed my Pilates classes. Bryony had always been my favourite Pilates teacher but she had moved on from my local gym. Luckily I learned she was doing zoom Pilates during the pandemic. Zoom classes have advantages. Bryony checks everyone in at start of class. You can report injuries and niggles. She will adapt the class to fit in an exercise/stretch that helps to sort your problem. The smaller classes mean more individual attention.

  • I like the way she often builds to a full exercise by working on the individual parts first. You get to practice all the movements before putting them together. I find this helps me to appreciate what muscles I'm using and what I should feel when doing the exercises. Bryony gets you working all parts of your body from neck to toes. (I like the spiky balls for my toes.) She gives personalized tips and variations, challenging you to work just that bit harder and encouraging you to do your best. I have had classes with a variety of good Pilates teachers but for me Bryony is simply the BEST!

Let’s Work Together

Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or returning after time away, I’d love to support your journey. You don’t need to be flexible, strong, or experienced to start, just curious.

Beyond the Studio

When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me curating wellness retreats and workshops, spending time with my beloved cat Gorba, or at a local spinning class!
