MINDFUL MOVEMENT · BOUTIQUE WELLNESS
Sculpt lean strength, restore postural alignment, and cultivate deep mind-body flow through our elevated boutique studio sessions and on-demand digital library.
Rooted in classical biomechanics and modern athletic conditioning, our dual-pillar approach refines every micro-movement for lasting physical grace and internal power.
Using low-impact Pilates, I help busy women manage their back pain, tone up, and keep them accountable – improving their quality of life.
Hi, I’m Kim Karlsson, the Pilates Coach. Whether you are a busy mum struggling to lift your toddler or a working professional painfully stuck to your computer desk, I will help you make time for your health and show up for your Pilates Practice – in person or online.
Let’s target that CORE!


“Tough times never last, but tough people do…”
-Robert Schuller
I am Kimberley Karlsson, the founder of PilatesCOREuk. In 2014, I had spine surgery after having my first child. My existence was daily painkillers and not being able to lift and carry my newborn without immense pain. Returning to work as a teacher of performing arts and dance was practically impossible. Back surgery enabled me to walk again, but with restrictions on my flexibility and physical activity – it was safe to say goodbye to my career in teaching dance. I moved on to teaching primary KS2, but couldn’t deny my passion for Pilates and the stress my current job was giving me… So here I am, doing what I love and sharing my knowledge to help others.

Listen how intentional movement, mindful alignment, and core stabilization transformed our members' daily posture and mental clarity.
Beginner hesitation is natural. We designed our studio and digital practice to meet you exactly where your body is today, with zero pressure and zero locked contracts.
Not at all. Flexibility is a byproduct of regular mindful movement, never a prerequisite. Over 60% of our members start with zero movement background. Every class provides progressive modifications, breath pacing cues, and low-impact variations so you build mobility safely from day one.
You maintain total control. You can pause, adjust, or cancel your membership directly inside your student dashboard at any time with a single click. There are no lock-in contracts, zero cancellation penalties, and no hidden reactivation fees.
All you need is a comfortable mat and enough floor space to extend your arms and legs. While our library includes optional sequences for resistance bands and light balls, 80% of our foundational programming is purely bodyweight-focused.
Yes. Our instructors are clinically trained in functional biomechanics and posture rehabilitation. Before complex progressions, we provide gentle joint-decompression variations designed specifically for sensitive wrists, necks, and lower backs.
Consistency matters far more than duration. Practicing 2 to 3 short sessions (15-25 minutes) per week produces noticeable postural alignment, core stability, and mental clarity within your first 14 days of practice.
Immerse yourself in our signature reformer classes, alignment workshops, and on-demand mindful sequences. Begin your journey with full studio privileges and zero commitment for your first thirty days.
