Umoya Studio

A lovely intimate studio, I went for a private session with Faye and she honestly changed my life! I have previously been to pilates classes before but this was the first time an instructor has explained so well the muscles being used, how to use and focus them and how you can tell whether you're using them correctly. I felt incredible afterwards and truly worked out! Thank you so much.

I love Umoya because it’s small enough that you get personal attention in classes. Faye and other instructors get to know you to the point where they gradually build up all the layers of strength and balance in your body. They describe where and how you should feel things and suggest subtle but on point corrections because they’re aware and attuned.

I’ve been a client of Umoya for many years and love the small boutique Umoya classes so they can focus on your needs , however due to an accident I’ve started the 1on1 classes. They have bought me physical and mental clarity.Thanks so very much Umoya I’ll be back to my self soon.

Umoya Studio is such a beautiful pilates space! Classes are small and intimate which means you get personalised attention, and they cater to everyone from beginners (although I'd highly recommend beginners do a One2one session first) to more advanced students, with optional modifications or add-on's offered. Classes explore different moves each week and I love the variety! I've been coming here for 12 months now and I've really noticed that my pilates practice has grown stronger. Faye is a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher, and Umoya Studio has such a warm, relaxed, friendly atmosphere!

So, it turns out Reformer Pilates is the thing I didn’t know I’d been missing my whole life. The benefit I feel – both physically and mentally – is incredible and I’m so pleased Umoya Pilates Studio is within walking distance from my home. Aside from the convenient location and simple-yet-elegant interior design of the studio, the classes offered are varied, well timed and priced. Oh, and the music is often really good too!Classes are small (max 4 people for reformer) which allows the instructors to interact with students, assisting and correcting their form. And trust me; I need a lot of help (!) but never am I made to feel self-conscious or embarrassed as both Faye and Hayley offer endless encouragement and good humour along with their expertise. Although they differ in their respective styles, I cannot speak highly enough of these women and the quality of their teaching. I am a ‘work in progress’ but I feel confident moving forward with Faye and Hayley helping me.Do yourself a favour; download the MindBody app and check Umoya out!

Highly recommend! Both Faye and Hayley are excellent at correcting my poor technique. After years of doing pilates where teachers rarely intervene, it’s refreshing to go to Umoya to learn the right way of pilates, where such small movements can make a big difference. Since starting a month ago, i’ve noticed my posture is already better, my core is activated, and my pelvis and abdominal separation is 100 times better after having two kids under two. The new studio is also fabulous - a lot roomier, yet still intimate.

Umoya Studio is filled with very competent, caring professionals. The Pilates classes are great for students of any level. The physical studio space is very calming, clean and well designed.

I have been attending the studio for many years now. It is a very small, intimate space where you can be yourself and work at your pace and level. I always feel well supported in where I am at. Faye is amazing, with a sharp eye for detail. I am so grateful to have found this gem.

I could not recommend a more holistic Pilates experience than what is offered at Umoya Studio. The intimate class sizes allow for personalised sessions where the instructors learn your individual body anomalies allowing them to help you correct your movements and even tailor the movement to suit your body. I have been going to Umoya Studio for over 5 years now, and I always leave class at least 3 inches taller, with a new spine and floating on a cloud.

Amazing! Faye is brilliant. Love going to her AriaBarre classes; really helps me condition my body for my dancing. Her skills, knowledge and guidance is on point which helps me not only do the exercises correctly but also get the most out of it all. Thanks very much Faye. Highly recommend for everyone to take her Umoya classes.
