About Me

Hi, I'm Laura — founder of Lotus Pilates.

I'm based in Chertsey, Surrey, and have been practicing Mat Pilates for 5 years and Reformer for 2 years. I discovered Pilates after years working as a Business Analyst in the tech industry. Spending long days at a desk left me feeling stiff, achy and disconnected from my body. I was looking for something to restore movement and balance — and that's when I found Pilates.

What began as a way to ease discomfort quickly became a passion. Regular practice helped me feel stronger, more mobile and more aligned, but just as importantly it brought a sense of calm and peace after a busy day of work. Pilates didn't just change how my body felt — it changed how I felt in it.

I trained as an instructor so I could help others experience those same benefits. My teaching focuses on controlled, mindful movement, and creating a supportive environment where you can build strength, confidence and body awareness at your own pace. My aim in every class is to support strength, encourage mobility and leave you feeling calm and balanced.

Whether you're completely new to Pilates or have years of experience, you'll be welcome here. I teach all levels, from beginners to fellow instructors, through both group classes and 1-to-1 sessions.

I'd love to help you move and feel better in your everyday life.

Laura
