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
A slower pace. A deeper breath. Pause classes soften the edges of your day, bringing your nervous system back into balance. Focused on gentle, restorative movement, Pause is perfect for beginners, rest days or anyone looking for deep reconnection.
Flow
Our signature class, designed to give you a full-body challenge while staying grounded in form and control. Whether you’re new to reformer or returning to regular movement, Flow is a space to grow your confidence.
Ignite
Where we pick up the pace — bringing energy, challenge and dynamic movement to your practice. Expect a faster flow and a class that leaves you feeling stronger. Best suited to those with Pilates confidence, or after the completion of a few Flow sessions.
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... :)
