Southampton Southampton centre and the Avenue
Pilates in Southampton centre and the Avenue.
Bedford Place, the Avenue and Bitterne Park give Southampton its central Pilates mix: contemporary group reformer, classical apparatus and private specialist teaching.
The neighbourhood note
Use the route below to make the class part of the day, rather than the whole of it.
Before and after class
Three distinct rooms around the city's parks and river.
Aura is the brighter, faster room, with boutique group reformer folded into a broader wellness destination. Pilates on the Avenue offers the traditional counterpoint from Padwell Road, while Pilates with Priya brings private reformer, Cadillac and specialist pre- and postnatal work to Bitterne Park.
The centre works without a car: take coffee around Bedford Place or Guildhall Square, then follow the Avenue into Southampton Common. Bitterne Park is a separate east-bank ritual, best paired with Riverside Park and the independent cafés around the Triangle.
The local ritual
3 stops, one considered Southampton centre and the Avenue morning.
Pair the class with coffee, fresh air or a place that shows Southampton centre and the Avenue at its best.
