New term — evening classes now open

find your ease

HaleCome as you are

A room for a more flexible body and a quieter mind. Stretching and pilates, taken slowly.

About the studio

Hale is a stretching and pilates studio for people who want to move without being pushed. Classes stay small. The work is slow, precise, and kind to tight backs, hips, and shoulders.

Come before work, after a long day, or when you simply want an hour that is quiet. Group sessions leave room for each person. Private hours are there when you want the room to yourself.

Class types

Every format is available in a small group or on your own. The schedule is refreshed each week.

Advantages

Small groups, never rushed

Three rooms, one pace

You leave lighter

Breath before effort

Three rooms, one gentle approach

The same slow work in each room. Same teachers, same pace. Come to the one nearest you.

Founder's story

Mara Ellison is the founder of Hale and still teaches several classes each week. She spent years in rooms where people were told to push harder, then opened a studio for the ones who wanted to move without pain or hurry. Hale began as evening sessions with friends. It is now three rooms across London, with the same slow pace in each.
