Our Team makes our Studio
Everyone on our team is fully qualified from a variety of Pilates schools, from STOTT to Body Control, YMCA and various international qualifications.
Here in Midline Studio we encourage every instructor to be themselves, and teach in their style. This is why you may not have the same class with different instructors and we encourage you to try multiple instructors to experience their styles.
None the less, all are excellent teachers who will help you work towards your goals, whatever they may be - look and feel better, improve mobility and strength, recover from pregnancy or injury, gain strength.
