Reformer Pilates

Hello

Welcome to Zoe Tidmarsh Pilates, where my passion for movement and community come together!

Hi, I’m Zoe, a Reformer Pilates and Barre Instructor located in Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

I am an ex professional dancer, and I have since dedicated myself to teaching and sharing my love for movement with Reformer Pilates & Barre.

I have clients of all ages and fitness levels. I am also pre and post natal qualified, allowing me to cater for everyone.

I aim to create a supportive environment that promotes wellness and holistic movement for everyone, incorporating stretch, strengthen and stability into every session.

What I offer

Reformer Pilates is a dynamic full body workout performed on a specialised machine known as a reformer. Using spring-based resistance it enhances strength, flexibility, balance, and postural alignment through controlled, low impact movements.

Suitable for all fitness levels, Reformer Pilates enhances body awareness, through the integration of breath with movement, making it an effective choice for rehabilitation, athletic performance, or overall well-being.

Key Benefits:

Builds core strength and overall stability
Improves posture and alignment
Enhances flexibility and joint mobility
Develops long, lean muscle tone
Aids in injury prevention and recovery

What my clients say

Client, Neve

Zoe is such a great teacher, breaking down each element of Barre into more understandable chunks to make sure you get the most out of the class. She also brings loads of energy to the sessions and makes them super fun!

If you haven’t tried Barre, give it a go! It’s a such a fun and different way to exercise.

Try this… take off all your springs, place a circle between the platform and the carriage 🔥

I was going to edit this video to take out all the sections where I wobble or the circle drops but I decided to keep it in… no one’s perfect even your instructor 🧘🏻‍♀️

My core was on fire! I have loved teaching this recently, all fours is a challenging position in itself! Always fun to put mat based exercises such as bird dog on the reformer 👀

Here’s a little snippet of a combo I taught in my reformer pilates classes last week🧘🏻‍♀️

Hamstring and glutes focused while also challenging that standing leg👏🏻

I love being creative on the reformer and using the machine in different ways! The possibilities are endless 👩🏻‍🎨

I love working on stability 💫

Strength is amazing and always worth building, but true control comes from stability. Engaging those deep, intrinsic muscles creates better balance, coordination, and resilience in movement (and in life 😉).

It’s not just about power - it’s about control, fluidity, and longevity🧘‍♀️

Who else loves a good stability challenge?

Reset the studio with me

After / inbetween classes I love to reset the studios I teach in to make sure students walk into a lovely tidy space 🧘🏻‍♀️

Pilates has changed my life.
It’s made me happier and more fulfilled than ever before.

I get to do something I love and call it my job. I get to meet new people, create valuable connections with studios and clients, see people grow in pilates and as people.

Happy World Happiness Day

What makes you happy?

Let’s talk Pilates and Post Birth 👩🏻‍🍼

Reformer pilates can be a great way to move your body post birth whether you have done it before getting pregnant or not!!

Your 6-8 week NHS check up is a great indicator to see if you are recovered from a doctors perspective but not the only way to tell if you are ready to exercise - we use this is a general rule, but alot of it is listening to your body.

Reformer can have lots of benefits to assist recovery:
1. Rebuild core and pelvic floor strength
The low impact movement on the reformer helps you reconnect and strengthen deep core muscles helping aid recovery of diastasis recti and supporting pelvic floor health.

2. Improve posture
Pregnancy and feeding positions can lead to back, neck and shoulder strain. We can help strengthen postural muscles helping to realign and stop discomfort.

3. Gentle full body recover
The reformer provides safe supportive movements that gratefully allow you to restore strength and mobility at your own pace.

We can also not brush over the mental benefits of exercise post natally. Taking time for yourself, connecting to your body, breathing, getting out the house, meeting new people are all ways to help you feel like you again 🧘🏻‍♀️

Join me @thelittleyogastudiotwyford for a pre and post natal reformer course. 4 weeks starting Saturday ✨

Let’s talk Pilates and Pregnancy🤰🏻

Reformer Pilates is a safe and effective way to exercise during pregnancy and has so many benefits.

1. Helps to build pelvic floor strength
This is great to support your growing bump and helps to reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction post natally.

2. Relieves lower back pain
As your centre of gravity changes due to the growing bump you will have added pressure to your lower back. We will re-engage the glutes and other areas to support your lower back.

3. Improves mobility, circulation and strength
Gentle and controlled movements enhance blood flow and reduce swelling, while promoting better alignment and overall strength.

Find me at @thelittleyogastudiotwyford doing a reformer pre and natal course for the next 4 weeks - starting this Saturday 22nd March 🧘‍♀️

I never leave when I say I’m going to leave!! Always chatting, giving advice, helping clients out after class if they need it 🧘‍♀️

I love helping someone out if something didn’t make sense, or I didn’t get a chance to explain everything in depth to them during a class. I love when clients want to learn more!! Knowledge is power 🧠

Either that or maybe treating myself to another pair of pilates socks 🧦🫣 you can never have enough!!
