Jo-Lee Pilates

Welcome to Jo-Lee Pilates, an inclusive and empowering Pilates studio in Edinburgh dedicated to welcoming all body types, genders, and fitness levels. Based on the belief that movement should be accessible and safe for everyone, Jo-Lee offers a bespoke approach to Pilates, tailoring exercises to suit the unique postures and individual needs of each participant. This personalized attention ensures that every client can gradually move away from default muscle patterns towards a way of moving that optimises their body’s functioning, building confidence and deep connection with their physical selves.

Whether you are a beginner or have prior experience, Jo-Lee provides a variety of class formats designed to meet you where you are. Gentle Pilates sessions focus on releasing tension and strengthening at a slower, restful pace, making them ideal for newcomers. For those seeking more challenge, Pilates Workout classes build strength and mobility for those with established body awareness. The studio also caters to specific therapeutic needs with Restorative Pilates, perfect for individuals managing scoliosis, sciatica, osteoporosis, or hypermobility, as well as those in rehabilitation. Mixed Level classes offer a regular pace with plenty of alternatives, suitable for those with previous Pilates experience.

In addition to group classes held in person and online, Jo-Lee offers highly personalised 1:1 sessions and small group bookings (up to 5 people). One-to-one sessions are particularly recommended for newcomers to learn proper technique or to address specific postural challenges, injuries, and pain. Jo-Lee’s extensive background as a former classical ballet teacher and her qualification as a Pilates instructor since 2013 inform her creative and precise teaching style. With experience in physiotherapy settings and working with diverse clients—including those with mental health challenges and special needs—she brings a deep understanding of functional anatomy and rehabilitation to every session.

Jo-Lee Pilates is proudly an LGBTQ+ friendly space, fostering an environment of safety, respect, and empowerment. Classes flow with precise proprioceptive cues to ensure correct positioning and to help students tune into the subtle feedback their bodies provide in both movement and stillness. If you are ready to improve your core strength, balance, control, and overall physical performance while connecting mind and body, Jo-Lee Pilates is the perfect place to begin your journey.

Fantastic experience: Booked 1:1 sessions of pilates for my daughter over the summer. Feedback was amazing from her and also Jo-Lee kept me informed constantly on my daughter's progress. Now I've booked her into a group class. Would definitely recommend Jo-Lee to anyone looking to embark on their Pilates journey.
