WHAT IS PILATES?:The son of a naturopath and a respected gymnast, Joseph Pilates created his movement program based on 6 principles that connect the body and the mind to truly create a holistic workout. Unlike many other workout programs, the essence of Pilates is a mobile spine, connected to a strong core, supple and healthy joints, though specific movements.

A lovely intimate studio, I went for a private session with Faye and she honestly changed my life! I have previously been to pilates classes before but this was the first time an instructor has explained so well the muscles being used, how to use and focus them and how you can tell whether you're using them correctly. I felt incredible afterwards and truly worked out! Thank you so much.

The care and attention that both Faye & Hayley provide with their expert tuition makes all the difference in Umoya's fantastic sessions for both Matwork & Reformer classes. Small, friendly classes with other great Umoyans :). Highly recommended

Highly recommend! Both Faye and Hayley are excellent at correcting my poor technique. After years of doing pilates where teachers rarely intervene, it’s refreshing to go to Umoya to learn the right way of pilates, where such small movements can make a big difference. Since starting a month ago, i’ve noticed my posture is already better, my core is activated, and my pelvis and abdominal separation is 100 times better after having two kids under two. The new studio is also fabulous - a lot roomier, yet still intimate.

Amazing! Faye is brilliant. Love going to her AriaBarre classes; really helps me condition my body for my dancing. Her skills, knowledge and guidance is on point which helps me not only do the exercises correctly but also get the most out of it all. Thanks very much Faye. Highly recommend for everyone to take her Umoya classes.

So, it turns out Reformer Pilates is the thing I didn’t know I’d been missing my whole life. The benefit I feel – both physically and mentally – is incredible and I’m so pleased Umoya Pilates Studio is within walking distance from my home. Aside from the convenient location and simple-yet-elegant interior design of the studio, the classes offered are varied, well timed and priced. Oh, and the music is often really good too!
Classes are small (max 4 people for reformer) which allows the instructors to interact with students, assisting and correcting their form. And trust me; I need a

Faye is very passionate about and experienced in pilates. She has always different exercises (and new songs!) for each class. Her classes have such a good flow that time flies when you’re doing pilates with Faye. Her beautifully decorated cosy studio is a plus. Highly recommended.

I love this beautiful studio. It is so calming and revitalising all at the same time. I have been doing reformer for 13 years, I have a dance background and am am aerialist- so I know pilates, and need someone who can keep me in check and help me iron out my bad habits. Faye has great cueing and is really fantastic with her subtle adjustments, just… at the right moment. What I love the most about her classes, however, is her unique approach to all of the exercises. They are so interesting and work you. I love this studio. Would recommend to anyone.

I have been a dancer and aerialist performer for years and often find that many conditioning exercises are unhelpful for the work I do. This is not the case with Pilates taught by Faye. I found her to be extremely knowledgable and was able to pin point the areas I need to work on as well as address my strengths and weaknesses.
Though her lessons are challenging, she manages to make me laugh even in the toughest exercises and I leave class feeling fantastic. I can feel my body 'switch on' ready to conquer the day.
As an ex Ballet dancer, I also enjoy her Barre Classes. I find they are without
