Tue 01 April | 7:30pm | Intermediate - Dynamic Reformer Pilates A step up in pace and intensity, and definitely not for first-timers. Expect a varied and challenging workout with more functional progressions and an emphasis firmly on effort and results. | Lorena Jiménez Opayome![]() Originally from Bogota, Colombia Lorena’s interest in Physiotherapy began as a high school cheerleader, where she realised the importance of making sports both safe and enjoyable. This motivated her to pursue a degree in Physiotherapy in Colombia, where she graduated with honors and received a scholarship for academic excellence.
Throughout her career in Colombia, she gained experience working with a variety of populations, including professional tennis players, orthopaedic rehabilitation at the largest military hospital in the country, and in the ICU of one of the most complex hospitals in the nation. She has continued to expand her expertise with further qualifications, including certifications in Pilates, Kinesio taping, and a diploma in respiratory care for critical patients with AHA certification.
Additionally, she completed a Master’s degree in Health Management, enhancing her understanding of healthcare systems. In 2019, she moved to Shanghai, where she worked for four years and discovered her passion for teaching. This led her to relocate to London, where she now combines her clinical expertise with her enthusiasm for education. Her goal is to continue making a positive impact on the health and well-being of people through physiotherapy and education.
Pilates resonates with Lorena’s philosophy about the human body and movement. She believes in the importance of training the body to create a broad range of movement variability, which doesn’t necessarily mean performing complex or advanced exercises. In fact, she believes in mastering the basics first, which creates a solid foundation for more complex and dynamic movements later.
For some, this idea of focusing on simplicity can seem boring or repetitive. However, Pilates proves that even the most basic movements can be transformed into challenging exercises through careful attention and intention. Every day, she sees how the smallest adjustments in alignment or focus can turn a seemingly simple movement into a powerful and effective one. Pilates aligns perfectly with this belief by emphasising control, precision, and mindful movement, which are essential for both injury prevention and improving overall function.
In her classes, participants can expect a strong focus on form and progression through layers. She begins with the basics, ensuring that they have a solid understanding before moving on to more advanced exercises. Once they’re ready, she safely builds on that foundation to elevate their practice.
Above all, she values movement variability. Her goal is to prepare her students to move confidently in different environments and situations while helping them feel safe and comfortable in their bodies. She wants them to feel empowered to keep moving, knowing that they have the strength and stability to do so with ease.
As a Colombian, dancing holds a special place in her heart, with salsa being her favourite style. She also loves to learn and explore new things, whether it’s singing, playing the piano, learning new languages, or writing. | Ten - Nine Elms | Book Now | 1743532200 |

Expect a varied and challenging workout with more functional progressions and an emphasis firmly on effort and results. | Courtney Wood![]() Courtney was raised in a sporting nation, where her vision of life encompassed physical pursuits, outdoor adventures, and true tests of determination. With time, she began to understand and value the capability of her body. She thrived on commitment to training, exerting her body to her own vision of success. Many times, she was faced with challenges she did not believe she could endure, and each time, she did. Realising the vital role her mind played in her performance, she began to follow a more holistic approach to training. She has since found exercise a wonderful connection of her body and mind, developing her physical and inner strength. Courtney’s passion for sport remained with her throughout her childhood and adult years, leading her down the path of attaining a Sport and Exercise Science degree from the University of Surrey. She gained three CIMPSA qualifications throughout her degree: Gym Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Working with People with Long Term Conditions. She explored pathology, immunology, and exercise referral during the course, which confirmed her passion for the clinical sector. There is strong scientific evidence that being physically active can lead to a healthier and happier life, while also reducing risk or aiding the management of some conditions. Exercise has also been proven to help prevent non-communicable diseases such as, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Therefore, an understanding of how the body responds to exercise, on a physiological level, seems fundamental to achieving optimal results.
Courtney is a hard-working individual, dedicated to learning and applying her knowledge. She grasps the uniqueness of the human body and intends to train each client as distinctively as possible. Courtney is a positive, calm person with a kind heart. She has a good sense of humour and values the importance of a comfortable training environment. Your health and safety are her top priority.

To say that she likes travel and physical challenges is something of an understatement. She has always been a keen horserider and a runner. When she moved to London she discovered Thai boxing, and after a few years’ training, moved to Kho Samui where she trained for a further five months, taking part in three fights (and winning all three). On returning to London, she was persuaded to enter her first London Marathon – the first of 14 marathons (5 of them in London) all completed in good times, along with a100km race, which she finished in just over 10 hours. When she lived in Australia and Vanuatu she took up cycling, and as a result found herself competing in the Alpes d’Huez. With its 21 hairpins, this is one of the legendary ascents of the Tour de France, which she climbed in just over an hour on a steel bike. Just to add an extra element of challenge, Caroll has also trained in Krav Maga, qualifying as an Instructor. And picking up some injuries along the way, which in turn, introduced her to Pilates and her teaching qualification. Over the past decade she has participated in a number of courses at the some most respected institutes in the field of holistic health and exercise. With her in-depth understanding (and personal experience) that functional movement patterns are essential to maintain a healthy, efficient and pain free body, Carroll ensures that Pilates is at the core of every exercise and program that she does. As a Trainer, Caroll is strict yet patient; a perfectionist but also a good motivator. As the basis of all Pilates, she insists on correct and transferable technique in all exercises – so you can practice in everyday life what you learn in class.

She became a clinical mentor to support less experienced team members to improve their clinical reasoning and patient management of complex patient cases. Nehir has been participating and leading clinical support sessions for Physio groups as well as leading regional training in central London to a team of MSK physiotherapists. She has experience in neurological, pulmonary and paediatric rehabilitation, trauma and orthopaedic inpatients as well as sports rehabilitation and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. By exploring many areas to treat, this led her to specialising in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Nehir has a special interest in neck, lower back and knee injuries. She uses high-quality neuromusculoskeletal assessment skills to develop patient-focused management plans. She likes using manual therapy as well as strength and conditioning programmes to help her patients achieve their therapy goals and increase their quality of life.
Nehir then developed an interest in Pilates and wanted to implement the practice in a clinical setting. She went on to complete her Mat Pilates qualification, and has since incorporated this practice into treating musculoskeletal injuries.
She also has a keen interest in Latin dancing, using it to help her to understand how the body & mind connects. She has helped many dancers in her community from preventing injuries, to allowing them to return to dance following acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries and enhancing dancing performance.
In her free time, you will find Nehir taking Latin dancing classes, going to the gym or cooking healthy recipes. | Ten - Fitzrovia | Book Now | 1743516000 |
