“I was a beginner at Pilates when I started with Ali and I really appreciated all the time she puts into each person, which she is able to do with the small classes.”
Google review
“Being of the older generation I wanted a pilates instructor who would be sensitive to my body requirements. I was recommended to go to Alison at Moxie Pilates for a session that would not push me too far.”

“I had a 1:1 with Ali and it was so good! It was the first time I had used equipment in pilates and I really loved the way it felt like it was working every muscle.”

Who it's for
When movement feels like guesswork.
For people with hypermobility, persistent pain, recurring injury, or who simply feel disconnected from their body. Complete beginners are welcome too. No experience needed.
Everyone starts one-to-one
Sessions built around your body from day one. Move into duets or groups of up to 4 when it suits you.
A full apparatus studio
Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, Combo Chair and more. Not a row of reformers.
A teacher who gets it
Ali is hypermobile herself, with hEDS, and Polestar trained. She teaches from lived experience.
The basics
What is equipment Pilates?
Equipment Pilates uses spring-loaded apparatus, the reformer, tower and Cadillac, that can assist a movement as easily as resist it. The same exercise can be made gentler or harder for your body on the day. Sessions are 55 minutes, with mat work woven in where it helps.
Awareness
Notice what your body is actually doing. The springs give your brain more feedback than the same exercise on the mat.
Connection
Link what you feel to how you move. Try different options and see how your body responds between sessions.
Strength
Build load and confidence on what now moves well, at your pace.
Less about thinking how to move. More about feeling it.
Springs provide assistance and resistance to movement, and the apparatus can also challenge your balance and proprioception. That is Ali's framework in practice: awareness first, then connection, then strength. You start one-to-one, so every session is built around your body.
Sessions
Start one-to-one. See what suits you next.
Every session is 55 minutes with Ali. One-to-one is the starting point for everyone; duets and small groups open up after one to three private sessions.
1:1 Reformer & Equipment Pilates
Where everyone starts.
A session built entirely around your body, with the whole apparatus studio to draw on. No experience needed. You will never be keeping up with a class.
Duet Reformer & Equipment Pilates
One teacher, two of you.
Share a session with a friend or partner once you know the basics. £49.50 each, with Ali tailoring the work to both of you.
Semi-Private Small Group
Never more than four.
Small enough that Ali still tailors every exercise. Joined by invitation after one to three private sessions. Current slots run Monday 7.45pm and Tuesday 12pm; availability is shared in the studio WhatsApp group.
Hi, I'm Ali. Let's get curious about how you move.
Meet your teacher.
Founder & Pilates Teacher
Ali Evans
Comprehensive Polestar Pilates Teacher
Ali came to Pilates for recurring back pain, and recovered from a disc bulge and a fractured coccyx along the way. She is hypermobile herself, with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is why bendy, sensitive and painful bodies are her specialism rather than a footnote.
She is comprehensively Polestar trained, with over 600 hours of initial training plus many hundreds of teaching hours since, an Integral Movement Method hypermobility practitioner, SIRPA-informed for chronic pain, Buff Bones qualified for osteoporosis-safe work, and a somatic coach in training. She is less interested in telling you how you should move, and more interested in helping you understand what is happening in your own body.
“People often come looking for strength or flexibility. What they often leave with is a better understanding of their own body.”
The Studio
A small private studio in Caterham.
Space to work one-to-one, experiment, ask questions and move without the pressure of keeping up with a class.
The Studio
A private garden-room equipment studio with the full classical apparatus: Reformer, Tower, Cadillac (Trapeze), Springboard, Ladder Barrel, Combo Chair, Spine Corrector, mats, weights and small props. Rare at this scale, and it is just you and Ali in the room.

Lucy comes to the studio from nearby Oxted. Like many people who find Ali, she arrived with pain rather than a fitness goal.
