I’m one of the founders and instructors here at Serenity. I hold a Level 3 Diploma in teaching Mat and Reformer Pilates and have a passion for helping people connect with movement in a way that feels natural and empowering.  My goal is to build a strong, supportive community at Serenity — a space where everyone feels welcome and included.  Outside the studio, I enjoy Pilates, CrossFit, travelling, live music, socialising, and long walks with my dog Luna — who you’ll often spot relaxing in the coffee shop!

Hi, I’m Sam, the co-founder of Serenity Pilates and Wellness Studio. While I won’t be teaching classes, you can often find me working behind the scenes, ensuring that our studio runs smoothly. When we open, you’ll also catch me spending time at our café, where I am looking forward to connecting with our community over a cup of coffee. Outside of the studio, my hobbies include going to the gym, experiencing different cultures around the world, and walks with my dog. I’m excited to be a part of this journey and can’t wait to see our community thrive!

Hi, I’m Nicola, a passionate Pilates instructor whose journey began in 2010 after the birth of my first son. I discovered Pilates as a way to find my own space, and in 2021, I qualified under Joanne Cobbe of JPilates. I have specialised training in reformer, barre, barrels, and Wunda chair, so you can be sure my classes are designed for everybody. I’m also qualified in pre and post-natal Pilates and have experience working with clients with various injuries. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all abilities. Challenge yourself in my classes and share my passion for Pilates!

I’m Sarah and I am a Level 4 Strength and Conditioning Coach, experienced Personal Trainer and qualified Reformer Instructor with over ten years in the fitness industry. As a mum of two, I understand how important it is to find balance and build both physical and mental strength that supports everyday life. I combine my love of movement with a focused coaching style, helping my clients to feel confident, capable, and connected in their bodies. I’m always learning and upskilling, so that I can bring fresh knowledge and energy to my sessions.

I’ve always had a passion for health and wellbeing and been lucky enough to work and travel around the world meeting a diverse range of people and visiting some amazing places, training as a reflexologist and Pilates teacher in mat and studio equipment. Over the last 13 years I have trained with BASI and Body Control Pilates, Pink Ribbon breast cancer programme, Level 4 Exercise and Cancer Rehabilitation, Level 4 Lower Back Pain, and Neurological disorders. Exploring further ways to help people holistically improve their health, I discovered the amazing power of Acupuncture. Following three and a half years full time study, at the Integrated College of Chinese Medicine (CICM) I achieved a bachelor’s degree, and Licence to practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Acupuncture. I have since undertaken more studies in muscular skeletal conditions and the NADA protocol which is an ear acupuncture system effective in treating stress, anxiety and addictions, and am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).

Hi, I’m Kirsty — a fully qualified Reformer Pilates Instructor, currently completing my Level 3 Mat Pilates Diploma with London Pilates Academy. Movement has become a non-negotiable in my life — it’s something I rely on not just for physical strength, but for mental clarity and balance too. After years of gym memberships and personal training sessions, I found my passion in Reformer Pilates. I was drawn to its strong sense of community and its adaptability for all levels. It’s a full-body experience that challenges and supports you in equal measure, helping you build strength while creating a deeper connection between mind and body. My classes are flowy, creative, and accessible, designed to help you build strength, improve flexibility, and move with confidence — all while enjoying the process…mostly lying on a bed! What’s not to love!

Hi everyone, I’m Georgie! I hold a level 3 diploma in teaching reformer pilates.

I’m thrilled to meet all of you and share my love for teaching in the studio. In my free time, I enjoy running, socialising with friends, and of course, practicing Pilates! One of my favorite series to teach is Supine Arms. Looking forward to our journey together!

Hi Everyone , I'm Emily-Taylor! I've recently just finished three years studying at the fashion retail Academy in London, where I gained my Level three extended diploma in fashion and retail & Level four diploma in digital marketing for fashion. I absolutely love everything to do with social media marketing and events. I have learnt so much already by managing my local M&S store’s social media and worked with a small influencer creating content, helping on shoots and editing. In my free time I like to spend time with my boyfriend & my family, go to the gym and definitely love my holidays... And recently started my pilates classes and safe to say i'm obsessed! I can't wait to start my journey in the Pilates industry and work with all of you!

Hi Everyone! I’m Charlotte, A Level 3 Diploma qualified mat and Reformer Pilates instructor who you may already recognise as a leader of Serenity Striders Run Club. I’ll be teaching classes alongside my full time job at Virgin, and my other side hustle as a Wellness and Lifestyle Content Creator. Although my ‘work mode’ is always on, you’ll usually find me (trying) to relax by walking the dog, grabbing a matcha, trying new food spots or, most likely, marathon training. Outside of Pilates, running is my main hobby and I am very excited to be running my third marathon in Berlin in September! I can’t wait to see you all in the studio!

Hi everyone, I'm Connie, one of the baristas here at Serenity! I enjoy making drinks for everyone and love seeing people come out of classes much happier and more fulfilled than when they first entered. In my spare time, I love baking, running and attending classes at Serenity, embracing their welcoming community and I always find myself eager to book onto another class! I can’t wait to see you all at the coffee shop soon!

Hi everyone, I’m Harriet! I’m one of the baristas here at Serenity, so you’ll usually find me making your favourite coffees and matcha's. My favourite part of the job is getting to chat with everyone. I can (and probably will) talk to anyone about anything. When I’m not at work, I’m usually staying active or planning my next adventure. Next year I’m hoping to swap the coffee machine to a backpack and head off travelling again. I definitely caught the travel bug the first time around! Come and say hi next time you’re in. I’ll have your coffee ready and probably a conversation too!

My love of cycling started 15 years ago, when my mum entered me into the London to Cambridge cycle ride as a challenge. Little did I know at the time quite where that challenge would take me! Since then, cycling has given me some incredible experiences. I completed RideLondon 100, cycled to Amsterdam for a mini break, and in 2014 took on London to Paris in just 24 hours. Over the last few years, I’ve also ventured into the world of triathlon, taking part in various distances right up to half Ironman distance. Last year, I finally ticked off one of the biggest challenges on my bucket list: cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats, covering more than 925 miles in just nine and a half days. It was an experience I’ll never forget. For me, cycling isn’t just about how far or how fast you can ride. It’s about getting outside, challenging yourself, enjoying the journey and sharing it with other people. That’s exactly the spirit I’m excited to bring to Serenity Spinners. It’s a friendly ride where we’ll move together, enjoy the countryside and, most importantly, make sure nobody gets left behind.
