Lovick Pilates was established in 2015 by Pilates teacher and enthusiast Laura Watford. It is our belief that the true benefits of Pilates are mastered and realised when working in smaller groups on a weekly basis with specialist teachers. In March 2020 our London studio classes stopped and we moved onto Zoom... we haven't looked back. Laura now lives in Dorset and offers classes for adults in the Sherborne area and online through Zoom. Mats and small equipment are provided in all studio classes. Classes for children are through Outschool.
