Signature Soul

Reformer Pilates classes in Bristol

Signature class
Strengthen, Balance, & Refine

Reformer Align: Level 1

Every Soul journey begins here.

​Align is suitable for committed beginners through advanced practitioners as our teachers offer plenty of adaptations so you can ease in at your own pace.

Align bridges fundamentals and performance, combining technique, full-body movement, and intentional control.

You’ll work to sculpt core strength, refine alignment, and develop muscular engagement through every movement.

If you’re new, we recommend arriving 10 minute before your class so we can help get you settled in.

Signature class
Deeper Strength. Complete Integration.

Reformer Evolve: Level 2

This is where your Pilates practice moves beyond the basics. Evolve is an intermediate-level class that blends strength, control, and fluidity into a more complex, full-body experience.

Each session layers coordinated movement patterns, resistance challenges, and refined technique to help you build strength that’s deeply connected – improving posture, balance, and tone while enhancing how your whole body moves as one.

​Ideal for those confident with the fundamentals who are ready to explore Pilates in its most intelligent, integrated form.

Signature class
​Pace. Strength. Challenge.

Reformer Ignite: Level 2

In Align, you’ve learned to move with efficiency and ease. Ignite is where you challenge all of that. The same foundations, but now at speed. Because the real test of your practice is how it holds up when things move faster.

This class weaves with Evolve-level repertoire with jumpboard sequences – bringing a unique low-impact, high-reward experience. Perfect for endurance, supporting bone density and muscular strength.

Ideal for those who’ve truly mastered Align and are ready to move to the next step – into Evolve, Ignite, or both.

Signature class
Precision. Power. Mastery.

Reformer Empower: Level 3

When complex sequencing, creative variation, and progressive resistance feel less like a challenge and more like home, Empower is your next horizon.

​Empower is a dynamic, advanced class where intelligent movement meets athletic strength. Here, complex sequencing, creative variations, and progressive resistance work together to challenge your strength, stamina, and coordination at the highest level.

Expect powerful full-body integration and a deeper connection to control and technique – all designed to tone, enhance performance, and expand what you thought your body was capable of.

Special class
Release. Restore. Balance.

Reformer Unravel

Unravel is where you come to go deeper into the unravelling itself – finding balance, exploring what’s held, and creating space in the body and mind to let it go.

Using the reformer in a way you won’t experience anywhere else, this class moves through meditation, breathwork, fascial release, and deeply restorative movement – creating length, space, and ease throughout the whole body.

​The pace is slow and intentional, the breath is your guide, and the result is something closer to meditation and massage rather than a workout.

Special class
Release. Restore. Balance.

Women's Health Classes

A 90-minute quarterly class each season for women ready to go deeper.

Each workshop explores the foundations of women’s health through movement, and the kind of deep body understanding that changes how you move long after you leave the studio.

Led by one of Soul’s most experienced instructors, Alice, expect reformer movement, breathwork, meditation, and guided reflection – exploring pelvic floor awareness, restorative strength and nervous system regulation. Followed by herbal tea and chats.

​Open to all levels.

Special class
This is the name of the class

Reformer Disco

Our special edition, extended Pilates Reformer class! Each is themed differently, from Disco Hits, to 90s Rave or RnB classics – all the feel-good vibes to keep you moving and feeling good!

We’ll be turning the lights down low and the music up high. Expect an invigorating 75-mins Pilates Reformer Flow to a pumping playlist. Laugh, move and let go of the working week.

After class Prosecco will be on offer for you to grab a glass (or soft drink) and have some post class chats to round off your week, before heading into the weekend.

This class is not suitable for beginners.

From our Reformer Pilates students

Delivered with confidence and knowledge

Love Eliza’s mat class – the level two is intense but she uses all props to make it fun and supportive do you don’t realise how hard you are working – it’s a perfect combination of traditional Pilates moves delivered with confidence and knowledge.

‘Mat’ came before reformer and it’s a great full body movement class which gives every bit of your body some attention and leaves you feeling well balanced and stretched.

I can lead an active life with confidence

I do 2 classes a week at Soul Pilates. The teachers bring their own personal styles which keeps classes fresh but what is consistent in the Soul approach is the emphasis on finding your own ease of movement whilst offering safe challenges.

As a 64 year old woman I feel that I can lead an active life with confidence. A recent improvement I’ve noticed is that I seem to be hitting my golf shots further. I think I have more rotation and flexibility.

And the office staff are always helpful too.

Welcoming, inclusive, calm and focused.

I’m loving my return to Reformer pilates. The studio is a great place to focus and the teachers are brilliant. I have osteoporosis and a hip replacement (and I’m old) and their attention to individuals in the group is fantastic.

I first posted this review two years ago and it is still just as true. I am stronger now than when I started and my posture is better than it has ever been.

I feel stronger and more confident

Restarted Pilates as I am aware that, as a 40+ woman with a back injury that I need to manage, I need to keep working on my core strength.

I have now attended 200+ classes at Soul and haven’t had any issues with my back. I feel stronger, more confident in my back and really enjoy how varied the classes are, even with the same instructors.

It has also been great for my mental wellbeing, which has been an added bonus.

Would thoroughly recommend!

What is Reformer Pilates

This is a more literal description of what Reformer Pilates is, for someone who is a complete newbie and potentially deciding between Reformer Pilates and another wellbeing activity like Barre or PT sessions.

It could talk about the equipment, what happens in a typical class, and a general who it’s good for. This is mainly here for SEO, but we still want it to be useful to potential beginners.
