This initial session is crucial for us to understand your body's movements, and for you to become familiar with our teaching style and expectations. From this foundation, we can build a personalized understanding of your needs and work towards achieving the best from your body.
We offer a variety of classes to suit all levels, from beginners to the advanced. Our class selection includes:
- Pilates 1-1
- Pilates Mat Classes
- Remedial Pilates
- Pilates for Pregnancy and Post Natal
- Semi-Private Pilates lesson
Please view our timetable for more information about each type of session and class availability.
Bowen Therapy
The Bowen Technique is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on therapy performed through light clothing. This technique is not a massage, and it involves light movements over precise points, prompting the body's innate ability to relieve pain, restriction, and imbalance, without the need for deep, manipulative, or forceful treatment.
The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950s by Australian Tom Bowen and training courses in his technique were first offered in the late 1980s in Australia, coming to the UK in 1993. Bowen practitioners work holistically with their clients, expecting to work alongside allopathic health professionals to support optimum health.
Bowen treatment is effective for various conditions, including:
- Painful and restricted shoulders, back, and neck pain
- Respiratory conditions
- Insomnia and headache patterns
- Sports injuries rehabilitation
- Support for Parkinson's patients, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, gut problems, and skin complaints
A Bowen session typically lasts between 40 minutes to 1 hour, and we recommend a series of three or four treatments, with many clients experiencing a positive response by the third session. Following the initial treatment, we recommend returning for a maintenance treatment every four to six months to support overall wellbeing.
Treatment sessions are provided by Patricia Issitt, who is trained and qualified with The (European) College of Bowen Studies. To book a Bowen Therapy appointment, please contact Patricia at patricia@yorkpilates.com.

Teacher Expertise
Patricia, the main Pilates teacher, was highly praised by multiple reviewers. One reviewer, who has attended classes with many teachers in London and York over 10+ years, described her as the "best Pilates teacher" they have ever had. Patricia was commended for teaching the importance of control and breathing in Pilates, which was particularly beneficial for the reviewer who has a bad back and non-elastic hamstrings. Georgia, Patricia's daughter, was also praised for her teaching skills, with one reviewer feeling that she is "just as good" as her mother.

The studio environment was consistently described as "calm", "peaceful", and "supportive". Reviewers appreciated the encouragement and challenge provided by the teachers while focusing on the details of each exercise. One reviewer found that the combination of skills provided by Patricia was "perfect" and highly recommended the studio.
Physical Benefits
Pilates was described as the solution that finally helped one reviewer's back problems long term, after trying physio, chiropractic, and sports massages. The classes were even continued through pregnancy, and the reviewer was able to get back into shape post-pregnancy with Georgia's classes.
