Are you looking for a Classical Pilates teacher that will keep you going, when you might be ready to give up?

My students say...

"Pilates is hard work, there is no way I would have stuck with it this long (years now!) if it weren’t for Sabrina. She is a Pilates purist, and her passion and enthusiasm for her work makes every class fun."

Pilates was never just a workout.

Before the studios, the trends and the 45-minute fitness classes, there was a method.

Joseph Pilates called it Contrology. A practice built around control, concentration, precision, breath and intentional movement.

And that method still sits at the heart of everything we teach at The Pilates Studio Edinburgh.

We want to use this space to share more than exercises. We want to share the why behind the movement. The principles. The apparatus. The details. The knowledge that changes the way you understand and experience Pilates.

Whether you practise with Sabrina here in Edinburgh or join us online from somewhere completely different, the method remains the same.

This is Pilates beyond the workout.

Don't be afraid of the shake...

Ever had that mid-exercise shake in Pilates? Where you wonder what on earth is going on? It’s your body learning to adapt and improve its neuromuscular efficiency as your muscles begin to fatigue. The shake you feel is called neuromuscular fatigue, which is a fancy way of saying your muscles and nervous system are working really hard together.

These involuntary muscle tremors, far from being something to worry about, are actually a sign that your body is recruiting new muscle fibres, building strength and reconnecting movement patterns. It is a sign of adaptation, not failure. Essentially what is going on is slow‑twitch fibres are getting tired and your body recruits larger, less efficient fast‑twitch fibres to maintain control, especially in stabilising muscles. This the body’s motor-unit switching on, and increased nervous system demand during slow, controlled movements.

It’s your body saying, I’m learning something new here, I’m coordinating your nervous system with your muscles. Over time, this will lead to improved control, stability, and coordination.Instead of pulling back when you feel it, try staying with it. Breathe through it. Let your body adapt and grow stronger.

The benefits are:

1. It Builds Strength at a Deeper Level
You’re not just working surface-level muscles - you’re getting into the tiny, often-ignored ones that support posture, stability, and injury prevention.

2. It Means You’re Challenging Yourself
You’ve moved out of your comfort zone. That’s where the magic happens - and where your muscles grow stronger and more resilient.

3. It Improves Mind-Body Connection
The more you shake now, the more your body learns how to stabilise later. That’s neuroplasticity. You’re literally training your brain to support better movement.

4. It Gets Easier (But Not Less Effective)
The more often you push through the shake, the more control and strength you’ll build - and the more intentional the shake becomes. You’ll still wobble… you’ll just love it.
