NIC LENNY | STUDIO FOUNDER
Like many, I began Pilates because I was in pain - a result of both my job as a busy Account Director sat behind a desk all day and a car accident in 2005 with left me suffering with a bulging disc in my back. 

In the evenings I taught aerobics in a bid to balance out my sedentary day job but my bad back was holding me back. Impatient and in pain, my physiotherapist recommended Pilates. I was sceptical, but within a few sessions, I could see and feel the difference. My back began to feel better, my body became stronger and I felt more connected to myself. I began to see my time in class not just as rehabilitation but as meditation alongside exercise. It provided a healthy remedy to help balance a fun, but hectic corporate life.

I was used to approaching everything at pace, so it amazed me that I was achieving transformational results by seemingly small, considered movements. With a motivation to deepen my understanding I studied with Polestar Pilates, who have a scientific and holistic approach to Pilates.

Here, I learned about the connection between the brain and the body and the nervous system that operates in-between. I wanted everyone I knew to be able to tap into the psychological and physiological benefits of Pilates, so naturally, the next step was to teach. 

Driven by my passion for movement and first-hand experience of the physical and mental transformation that can happen when people move better, I opened Soul Pilates in 2015. 

​Today, our mantra ‘move better, feel better’ runs through everything we do. We look forward to welcoming you through our studio doors, knowing you’ll leave feeling (and moving) better.
