We’ve Been Recognised as One of Devon’s Leading Reformer Pilates Studios!

SENSE GREATER PEACE - Muddy Stilettos Feature, 8 reformer studios in Devon.

I opened SENSE GREATER PEACE in Woolacombe, North Devon in 2025 with a very clear intention: to create a reformer pilates studio where people feel comfortable and at peace the moment they walk through the door. A space where it’s possible to slow down, take a breath, and focus on yourself without distraction. 

A few months on, SENSE GREATER PEACE has been featured in Muddy Stilettos’ guide to the leading reformer pilates studios in Devon. To be included so early feels grounding and affirming, particularly as the article highlights studios that bring thoughtfulness and depth to movement and wellbeing.

My approach to reformer pilates in North Devon is shaped by experience, curiosity, and respect for individual bodies. Sessions are grounded in alignment, breath, and biomechanics, with a focus on building strength, mobility, and control in a way that feels sustainable. The reformer is an incredibly supportive and adaptable piece of equipment, allowing movement to be both challenging and accessible - whether you’re completely new to pilates or returning after time away.

Since opening SENSE GREATER PEACE, I’ve welcomed a growing mix of first-time reformer clients and those who already have a relationship with the practice. Some arrive cautiously, unsure of what to expect; others come looking to deepen their movement. What matters to me is that everyone feels at ease - able to work at their own pace, ask questions, and move without comparison.

The studio space itself was designed with this in mind. Calm, light, and intentionally uncluttered, it’s a place to step out of everyday busyness and settle your attention inward. I wanted the studio to feel supportive rather than intimidating - somewhere you can arrive, exhale, and give yourself permission to focus on your body for the time you’re there.

Being recognised by Muddy Stilettos as one of Devon’s notable Reformer Pilates studios reflects a growing appetite for movement spaces that value quality, clarity, and wellbeing over trends. For me, it reinforces why SENSE GREATER PEACE exists: to offer Reformer Pilates in Woolacombe and North Devon that is intelligent, considered, and genuinely supportive.

If you’re looking for reformer pilates in North Devon, SENSE GREATER PEACE offers a focused, welcoming environment where movement is treated as a practice - and where taking time for yourself is both encouraged and respected.
