A mixed ability Pilates class leaving you energize for the rest of the day and guarantees you are at your desk at 9.00 am! Pilates is a revolutionary mind/body conditioning exercise program focusing on the core postural muscles, which helps keep the body, balanced and are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen and tighten the deep torso muscles.

Mehret Hope founded Hope Pilates, based in the heart of South London, in May 2010. She teaches a variety of classes such as Mat and Reformer Pilates and Yoga, specialising in footwork and WRULDs injuries.
Having being diagnosed with Hypermobility, whilst also suffering from a work related injury, Mehret’s own firsthand experience of chronic pain has evolved her teaching methods to focus more on rehabilitation work and ‘real life’ mental and physical health problems. She qualified in CBT for Chronic Pain while working side by side with physiotherapists at Camden Physiotherapy and receiving mentoring from leading Hypermobility consultants and specialists.
And so Mehret began her mission to educate and empower others to transform their lives, just as she did.
What started with Pilates classes, soon evolved to incorporate other beneficial treatments such as the Pain Clinic, yoga, massage, dance and the newly offered Teacher Training.
