The Swedish Pilates Studio

Based in Glen Iris, the Swedish Pilates Studio provides Reformer Pilates classes and Mat Pilates classes led by Birgitta Thorborg. Mat Pilates classes focus on core strength, balance and posture, making them suitable for everyone, especially beginners. Some "advanced" sessions use resistance bands, the Swiss ball, and circle. Reformer Pilates classes use a "Reformer Bed". These pilates sessions use resistance training to build and enhance strength, core stability and flexibility. Our Online Pilates Sessions are available for remote clients, allowing the same high-quality instruction and personal guidances as our in-studio classes. Birgitta provides personalized guidance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from each session.

Customer's reviews

Highly recommend this Pilates studio! The intimate classes make it easy for Birgitta to help everyone with their form and ensures a safe, personalized class. It has been great to see my progress over the last few years, and the calm, welcoming environment makes it such a lovely community to be apart of. ~ Isabel T
Due to various injuries I had stopped doing much physical activity, that wasn't good for my own well-being or my recuperating injuries either, I needed something challenging enough to have a decent workout but also safe to not put a strain and get in the way of healing. With pilates I found the ideal solution, with Brigitta it made it perfect. She takes into account any issues you might have and takes care that you work but that you don't harm yourself, in her sessions you can be sure that you'll push your body to improve in a safe environnement. To be honest before going to the studio I hadn't really accepted that pilates is something that anyone can do and still get properly fit, people of all ages and fitness are doing great work in class. After one session I was sold, I discovered a training that works with all my body, helps with my daily posture and has improved my health and strength. If you are here reading reviews because you are hesitating, I would encourage you to go round and sign up for a trial period, I am sure you'll continue going back. ~ Raquel
I love Pilates at the Swedish Pilates studio with Birgitta's. I love the small classes and the individualised attention when we have an injury or anytime. And so does my back! And if we forget to book in a class, we get a friendly reminder. 5 stars for sure! Birgitta is the best. ~ Gray T
