The Lotte Berk Method

Designed to achieve a lean, supple and toned body. The Lotte Berk Method will help you improve your physique and make you strong.

Created over 60 years ago by a German dancer, Lotte Berk, the exercises are based on modern dance, yoga and physiotherapy.

Used worldwide ever since by professional performers, athletes, and those searching for general fitness.

The exercises are strenuous without being aerobic, achieving targeted results as the clients are encouraged to work at their own pace. The Lotte Berk Method is available to all levels of fitness and ability.

Pilates

Joseph Pilates based Pilates on six key principles: Breath, Concentration, Control, Centring, Precision, and Flow. Although the exercises have evolved, these principles remain central to all forms of Pilates.

Mat Pilates uses small, controlled movements and bodyweight exercises to strengthen the core, improve posture, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It focuses on controlled breathing and precise movement to develop strength, body awareness, and overall muscle balance.

Move well. Feel strong. Be confident.

Uplifting and low-impact classes inspired by the Lotte Berk method and Pilates, focusing on your core and bringing together posture, strength, confidence, and alignment.

A modern yet softly refined fusion of the Lotte Berk method and Pilates, designed to help you feel quietly strong and at ease in your body. With an emphasis on breath, precision, and fluid, mindful movement, each class offers an elegant way to cultivate posture, deep core strength, and a lasting sense of balance and connection.

Drawing on the sculpting precision and deep core connection at the heart of both the Lotte Berk method and Pilates, together with the Pilates principles of breath, control, centring, concentration, and flow, these classes are designed to help you move with strength, confidence, and alignment. Each session offers an uplifting balance of posture, fluid movement, and low-impact strengthening, creating a practice that feels energising, supportive, and deeply enjoyable.

About the Classes

Inspired by the Lotte Berk method and Pilates, these classes combine sculpting and low-impact strengthening with the Pilates principles of breath, control, centring, concentration, and flow to support posture, flexibility, and deep core connection. Rooted in small, precise exercises and fluid transitions, each class also encourages body awareness and feels both effective and beautifully welcoming.

Why It Works So Beautifully

Small, precise movement, supported by the Pilates 6-key principles (Breath, Concentration, Control, Centring, Precision, Flow), blended with the sculpting precision of the Lotte Berk method, creates deep, lasting strength. Each class helps build posture, muscular endurance, alignment, and body awareness. Most importantly, clients come away from these classes feeling happy and rejuvenated.

What You Can Expect

In each class, you can expect a thoughtful blend of warm-up, barre-inspired work, mat movement, and stretch that feels purposeful, flowing, and carefully guided. The experience can be challenging, but you can work at your own pace, and variations are provided for most exercises. The classes are low-impact and designed to leave you feeling lifted, energised, and supported.

How You May Feel

This practice can help you feel taller, stronger, more balanced, and more connected in your body. With its blend of posture-focused strengthening, deep core support, and the Pilates 6-key principles, the benefits extend beautifully into everyday life.

My Approach

In my classes, I blend the sculpting precision of the Lotte Berk method with the Pilates principles of breath, concentration, control, centring, precision and flow to create a warm, supportive class experience that builds strength, tone, alignment, and confidence.

Each class is thoughtfully crafted to weave together warm-up exercises, stretching, barre work, and mat-based movement in a way that feels both purposeful and beautifully flowing. You can expect carefully guided sequences for posture, legs, hips, arms, and core, balanced with lengthening stretches that create space and ease in the body. The experience is gently challenging, low impact, and designed to leave you feeling energised, supported, and elegantly strengthened from head to toe.

Whether you are entirely new to this style of movement or returning to it with experience, these classes are designed to support you every step of the way. You are warmly invited to join me in a space that brings together sculpting precision, deep core connection, and the 6-key Pilates principles.
