Common worries
Sound familiar?
"I'm not flexible enough."
You don't need flexibility to start Pilates. Pilates gives you flexibility. Everyone starts somewhere, and that somewhere is exactly where you are right now.
"I don't have any equipment."
Just a thick Pilates mat. That's genuinely it. No reformer, no weights, no studio membership. Your living room floor is the only studio you need.
"I'm too old — or too out of shape."
Pilates is designed for every body. The movements are controlled and low impact — perfect for any age or fitness level. That's not a disclaimer, it's the point.
"I won't stick to it."
Three sessions a week, thirty minutes each, on your schedule, from your living room. The barrier really is as low as it gets. You don't even have to find your keys.
"I've tried before and given up."
You didn't have the right structure. A week-by-week programme that builds gradually is a completely different experience to random YouTube videos. This was designed to keep you going.
"What if I'm doing it wrong?"
Caroline coaches every movement in detail. You'll know exactly what you should be feeling in your body, and why — so you're never just going through the motions.

Your instructor
Caroline Owen
Level 4 Pilates instructor. Former teacher. Accessibility obsessive.
Caroline has been teaching Pilates for five years, and before that spent two decades in education as a subject lead in Dance and Performing Arts. She knows exactly how to break down complex movement into something anyone can understand — and she cares deeply about making Pilates genuinely accessible, not just something she says.
My Pilates Lab was built because she was tired of watching people give up on Pilates because the barrier was too high — too expensive, too intimidating, too much faff. The Complete Beginners Course is the programme she wishes had existed when she started.

The home studio is lovely and Caroline is so kind and welcoming — it would be hard to come away anything but enthusiastic to build Pilates into your weekly routine!"
