Find Your Balance.
Our philosophy is built on balance. On the cycles of strength, fluidity and rest that shape how we move, live and grow.
The first group exercise class I ever enjoyed was a Pilates-inspired session in LA. There was something about the movement — and the sense of community around the studio — that drew me in straight away.
When I moved back to Manchester, the first thing I did was find a Pilates studio. It quickly became the foundation of my friendships — and eventually, the place where I trained as a Reformer Pilates instructor and began teaching.
In 2024, I moved back to Broughton Astley — the village I grew up in but hadn’t called home for years. While I loved being back in the countryside, I missed the third space that a studio gives you. Somewhere to move, reset and feel part of something.
That’s why I created Sojourn.
A space to move and breathe, to connect and belong. A studio that brings people together — just as Pilates has done for me through different places and seasons of life.

Pause
Life moves quickly, and it’s easy to forget the value of slowing down. Pause is the space to step back, breathe deeply and listen to what your body and mind need. It’s about creating room to release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself.
Flow
Flow is the reminder that strength doesn’t have to come from force. It’s the steady rhythm of showing up, moving with intention, and finding balance between effort and ease. In life, as in movement, Flow is where progress happens — gradually, consistently and in harmony with your own pace.
Ignite
Ignite is the spark — the moment you push past your comfort zone, step into challenge and feel the power of your own resilience. It’s about harnessing energy and focus to drive growth, in movement and in life. Ignite is where you find out what you’re capable of when you give yourself permission to go all in.
Had the best first experience of Reformer today! everything was clearly explained and felt super comfortable asking for any help or to be re shown any moves ! will definitely be returning 😀

Beautiful, chic studio. Amazing vibe. Charlotte has done an incredible job of creating a space where there is no judgement, or fear of not being a "pilates pro"! I look forward to my next session... :)
