Private hire at sojourn
Hen mornings, birthdays, brand activations, photoshoots and private reformer Pilates sessions, at our boutique studio in Broughton Astley, Leicestershire.
Three ways to hire
Pick the format that suits your group.
-
A celebration with friends
A reformer Pilates class for your hen morning, your birthday, your sister's leaving do, or no occasion at all. We host private groups of up to six on the reformers, led by one of our Sojourn instructors. Bring your own welcome drinks and post-class snacks through local caterers, or let us organise everything for you.
-
A brand or company event
A light-filled, characterful boutique studio for brand activations, photography, content days, podcast recordings or product launches. Six Align-Pilates reformers, infrared panels, the affirmation mirrors and the calm aesthetic clients keep asking about.
Available with one of our instructors on hand (for talent-led shoots, demo classes or product activation) or as studio-only hire if you're bringing your own team.
We'd recommend a site visit before booking for shoots and bigger productions, so you can check the space against your plan.
-
A 1:1 or small group session
Sometimes a group class isn't the right starting point. A private session with a Sojourn instructor gives you the room, the equipment and the attention to focus on your practice, whether you're on your own or with up to five others. Suitable for returning movers, athletes, people building back after injury (with medical clearance), couples training together, friends wanting a tighter class than the regular schedule allows, or anyone after a personalised first session before joining the group timetable.
Note: For pregnancy, postpartum or injury clearance, a 30-minute Movement Analysis (£20) is the right first step.
What you’re hiring
A six-bed reformer Pilates studio at the edge of Broughton Astley, designed for nervous system recovery as much as movement.
Infrared panels on request. Affirmation mirrors. Lumie halo daylight lighting. Air-purifying plants. An alkaline water station and a small fridge for bottled or canned drinks.
No onsite kitchen or catering. Bring in a local caterer, or add catering to your hire plan and we'll take care of the details.
A different feel for your event
Sojourn is a boutique reformer Pilates studio at the edge of Broughton Astley, ten minutes from Lutterworth, twenty from Hinckley and Market Harborough, and thirty from Leicester city centre.
We work with hens, brides, birthday hosts, brand teams, photographers and creative agencies looking for a calm, characterful space outside the city.
The studio sits in a village setting with countryside walks from the door, local pubs and cafes within a few minutes, and the Red Admiral garden for post-event drinks when the day runs that way.
Pricing and How to Book
Pricing depends on the format, the day, the time of day, and whether you'd like one of our instructors leading. We quote individually so the package fits your group rather than the other way round.

Email studio@sojournpilates.com with the format, group size and a rough date.
We'll reply within 48 hours. For shoots and bigger productions, we may suggest a site visit at this stage.

Private hire questions, answered.
Common questions about hiring the studio. For wider questions about classes, memberships and bookings, see our FAQs page.
-
Up to six on the reformers. For larger groups, we can split into rotating slots across the morning, or run a mat-led class.
-
Yes, with a few practicalities. The studio doesn't have onsite kitchen or catering facilities, but there's a small fridge for chilling bottled or canned drinks. For food, our local businesses can deliver fresh to the studio ready to serve. Champagne and welcome drinks are welcome; alcohol-free options are easy to arrange.
-
For brand events and creative bookings, yes. Studio-only hire is available if you've got a yoga teacher, sound healer or another facilitator you'd like to bring. We'll set up the reformers, brief you on the equipment and the heating, and leave the rest with you. Group celebrations and private 1:1 or small group sessions are always led by a Sojourn instructor.
-
On request. The studio can be set anywhere from ambient room temperature up to 38°C.
-
2 hours, including setup and pack-down.
-
No. Bookings of one to five people fit well as private 1:1 or small group sessions, focused on practice and instruction. Six to twelve people are usually celebrations or brand events, with a stronger occasion feel.
-
Yes. The Red Admiral pub car park is a two-minute walk, available for Sojourn clients before 5pm on weekdays and before midday on weekends. On-street parking on the surrounding roads otherwise.
-
Yes, and for some events (photography, content shoots, brand activations) we'd recommend it. Email studio@sojournpilates.com with what you're planning and we'll arrange a time to see the space, walk through the practicalities, and make sure it's the right fit.
