Our Reformer Pilates Instructors

Cindy

Founder & Instructor

My journey with Pilates began in Amsterdam in 2001, while studying for my Bachelor’s degrees in Dance Education and Bachelor's Degree as Allround Performing Artist. Pilates became an important part of my training and stayed with me throughout my career as an international musical theatre performer.

In 2013, I decided to turn my passion into a profession. I trained in classical Pilates with Peak Pilates and AALO across the full range of classical apparatus, then expanded my training with Balanced Body and Ten Health & Fitness to explore a more dynamic approach. I’m currently undertaking further comprehensive classical Pilates training with James Shaw Pilates to continue deepening my knowledge and practice.

My classes combine the precision and principles of classical Pilates with dynamic movement and challenging full-body workouts. I believe in good technique, individual corrections and helping people understand their bodies, while making every class enjoyable.

When I created REFORM & VIBES, I wanted to build a space that felt different. Pilates can sometimes feel intimidating, so my vision was to create a welcoming, relaxed studio where you can feel comfortable, work hard, challenge yourself and have fun.

For me, Pilates is about moving well, feeling connected to your body and enjoying the process. And just as importantly, it’s about the people you meet along the way. At REFORM & VIBES, we take our Pilates seriously, but never ourselves. There’s always room for a smile, a laugh and a good vibe!

Instructor

My Pilates journey began from a deeply personal place. Living with a lifelong condition, there was a time when I was unable to walk without crutches. It was through discovering Reformer Pilates that everything began to change. The strength, stability and confidence I built through consistent practice helped me come off my crutches, and that experience completely transformed my outlook on movement. It also inspired me to help others experience the incredible benefits Pilates can have, whatever their starting point.

I’m a Level 3 qualified Mat Pilates and Level 3 Reformer Pilates instructor, as well as being trained in Pre and Postnatal Pilates. My aim is to create classes that are inclusive, supportive and empowering, whether you’re new to Pilates, returning after pregnancy, recovering from injury or looking to take your practice to the next level.

You can expect dynamic, creative classes that keep you engaged, with opportunities to challenge yourself while always moving safely and with purpose. I love helping clients build strength, improve mobility and discover what their bodies are capable of. My goal is for every person to leave class feeling stronger, more energised and more confident than when they arrived.

Alex R

Instructor

Being a trained professional dancer (Bird College) and personal trainer (BISMA), I discovered a passion for Reformer Pilates as a way to support strength, mobility and overall wellbeing. Training at London Pilates Academy, I received my certification in Dynamic Functional Reformer Pilates.

As well as my Pilates training, I have a wealth of dance teaching experience in a variety of styles, including classical ballet, in schools and companies across the country. I am inspired by my clients and students and am committed to helping others move better, feel stronger and build confidence through movement.

Cassandra

Instructor

My journey with Pilates began in 2006, when I first discovered the power of the method through a set of “10 Minute Solution” home DVDs. Even on a simple mat without equipment, I was struck by how these short, focused sessions remained consistently challenging year after year. This foundation evolved into a deeper passion when I moved to Miami in 2015 and discovered Reformer Pilates. The connection was instantaneous! For me, Pilates is a moving meditation. It is the one place where I am fully present, with my entire focus narrowed down to the movement and the moment.

After a decade of dedicated practice, I decided to turn my passion into a career in 2024, completing my STOTT training in both Mat and Reformer Pilates. I bring that same meditative focus to my teaching, giving 100% of my energy to my students to ensure they feel supported and seen.

In my classes, you can expect a friendly, high energy environment fuelled by dynamic, full body flows that mix classical moves with modern, challenging variations. I always start and end each session with intentional Pilates breathing to ensure everyone feels centred and present. You will leave my class feeling as though you have worked hard, yet walk away with a deep sense of relaxation and clarity.

Jacqueline

Instructor

Movement has always been a huge part of my life. I first discovered Reformer Pilates in 2019 and instantly fell in love with how it made me feel: not just physically stronger, but more balanced, energised and connected to my body. What started as a personal passion quickly became something I knew I wanted to share with others.

In 2023, I completed my Dynamic Reformer Pilates Teacher Training, and since then I’ve been passionate about helping others experience the incredible physical and mental benefits of movement. In 2025, I also qualified as a Barre Instructor, allowing me to blend the strength, control and precision of Pilates with the energy and endurance of Barre to create my own signature style of class.

My classes are designed to be a space where you can switch off from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with your body and enjoy moving in a way that leaves you feeling stronger, healthier and more confident.

Whether you’re completely new to Reformer Pilates or have been practising for years, you can expect a welcoming, supportive and motivating environment. I love challenging clients to achieve things they didn’t think were possible while ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident, regardless of their experience or fitness level.

Expect dynamic, full body workouts that combine the best of Reformer Pilates and Barre to build strength, improve posture, enhance mobility and increase endurance. I truly believe movement should be enjoyable, empowering and accessible to everyone, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone leave class feeling stronger, happier and more confident than when they arrived.

Most importantly, I hope you’ll leave standing a little taller, moving a little better and just a little bit prouder of yourself than when you walked through the door.

Zora

Instructor

I’ve been working in fitness since 2016 as a Personal Trainer and group fitness instructor, but Pilates became the missing piece that changed the way I understood movement.

I was fascinated by how much more there was to training the body than simply building strength and cardiovascular fitness. Pilates taught me the importance of control, alignment and creating strength from the inside out, while improving core strength, balance, coordination and overall movement quality. It showed me the impact of helping people move better, not just work harder.

I’m passionate about helping people feel stronger and more confident in what their bodies can do. My classes blend my strength training background with Pilates principles, creating sessions that are fun, challenging and purposeful, while focusing on quality movement.

Alongside my contemporary Pilates, I’m currently deepening my knowledge through comprehensive classical Pilates training.
