Love Pilates Willoughby - formerly Yoganic

A lovely and modern little studio with pilates and barre classes designed for expecting and new mums, which you can more importantly take your baby to. They have baby bouncers available and most instructors will even pick up bub if they are particularly fussy. Such a good way to ease back into exercise after having a baby, and also give the pelvic floor some much needed attention.

Love Pilates has been such a gift after having two children! I'm about to hit the 2nd anniversary of my first class and it's the first exercise I've consistently stuck with in my adult life. It's never boring, Tower classes give an amazing stretch after long days at my desk, there is a sense of community in the studio and I am stronger than I've ever been in my life. Thank you Libby

I’ve now been attending Love Pilates for a year. The fundamentals classes were a perfect introduction for someone like me who had never done any form of pilates or yoga before. I now do regular reformer classes and have also branched out to tower and reformer yin with Libby’s encouragement. There’s a great choice of classes at different times and days of the week so it’s easy to find something that works. I have to give a special shout out to Libby - it’s obvious that she really cares about her clients and pours herself into the business - and Alexis, who is also a fantastic instructor and her gentle approach is especially great for beginners.

I am so glad I found Love Pilates! I found it super hard to find somewhere to continue Pilates that was pregnancy safe and appropriate. My sister went to the studio when she was pregnant in the past and recommended it instantly when I told her I couldn’t find anywhere that looked good. I can see why now, it’s great! I’ve just finished my trial and am keen to commit to regular classes until I have my first baby in Feb. Do yourself a favour and get to Love Pilates! The people, facilities and classes are the bomb.

I joined Love Pilates specifically for their expertise in pregnancy pilates/yoga. I've absolutely love the community spirit - learning so much from new and existing mums in the classes! I feel challenged, nurtured and excited throughout my pregnancy to date. Libby and her team are so supportive and fun in their teaching style. I'll be excited to continue my journey post-baby. Thank you!

Love Pilates has been a wonderful companion throughout my pregnancy journey. I'm always looking forward to going to class - to keep moving and strengthening my body. Libby and her team are exceptional, always helping me to modify as required. I also find the small and intimate class size and conversations between mums to be/new mums so valuable. Highly recommend!

I recently joined the Yoganic mums & bubs classes and can honestly say that I look forward to going to these classes! Libby & her team create such a supportive & welcoming environment, I felt immediately comfortable in the studio. It’s been wonderful to be able to return to exercise plus take my baby along with me... even my baby seems to enjoy going :) The classes are small which means that you get more attention and the instructors tailor the activities to be specific to your needs. Although I am new to pilates, I have found the reformer classes really helpful in my postnatal recovery. I also really like the barre classes with Helene as she makes them lots of fun for the mums & the babies. I highly recommend Yoganic.

I attended to the studio back in 2019 before my first daughter and absolutely loved it. Fast forward 4 years to my second child I am back even though I’ve moved far away from the area. Absolutely worth the drive! Libby and her team cater to your individual needs although they run group classes, and are well aware of what pre and post natal women need to feel their best in their changing bodies. Couldn’t recommend highly enough x

I can't rate Yoganic more highly! Having just had my first baby 6 months ago I wanted to get my body moving while also balancing caring for a new bub. The postpartum and beginner reformer classes are great, I am feeling stronger every week and love the social time with other mums too! The instructors are super experienced and can tailor classes to your needs. The classes also run late (ie. 8pm) so I can continue classes when I got back to work in a few months time too!

This review is long overdue. As many others have said, this studio and staff changed my pregnancy journey. I started attending on the recommendation of my midwife at around 20 weeks and came running back 6 weeks postpartum. The quality of instructors and their knowledge of pregnant/postpartum bodies is exceptional, and I am so grateful for the community of mothers that Libby (the owner) has helped created. The studio is also super clean and conveniently located, there’s also a variety of classes to pick from and I love the option of being able to bring our bubs. Big thanks to Libby and the team for their expertise, guidance and support throughout pregnancy (and now motherhood).

I have been going to this studio for at least 7 years. The classes are small so you get proper instruction and support, and the offering of Pilates - mat, reformer, tower and athletic are just some - mean you can pick a class depending on how your body is feeling. Yoga is on offer too, and while pilates is my favourite, they have special offerings such as Yoga Nidra and Yoga reformer which are amazing!

The owner (Libby) teaches lots of classes. She's frank, funny and very supportive. The other instructors are equally delightful.

I always finish a class feeling that I walk taller and my mind is clearer.

Thank you Libby and team!

I am a new client to Yoganic and started with the mum + bubs Pilates reformer and have also done their Barre class. I'd highly recommend these classes or any of the other classes offered at Yoganic, especially if you're postpartum! I found the classes encouraging and supportive while also making you move your body under the guide of the educated instructors. The babies also are happy as they are provided with rockers and love looking around. You are encouraged to do the exercises at your own strength level and ability.
There are also a variety of classes, times to suit everyone which is great!

Absolutely loving Yoganic. Feeling so fit and energetic throughout my pregnancy.
The studio is really intimate and clean. The teachers come around and provided you 1:1 support to make sure you're activating the right muscles and to make sure you don't injure yourself.
Love the community vibe as well.. have really enjoyed meeting people that are on a similar journey to you.
Would definitely recommend Yoganic to friends and family.

Libby and all the team at Love Pilates are absolutely amazing. They are so encouraging and caring. I would not have survived my postnatal period without them, they have helped me to get back to my happy healthy self after having my baby. Going to their classes is one of the best parts of my week. I feel so lucky to have found such an incredible supportive community!

Yoganic has gorgeous studios with supportive, fun classes which have helped me to quickly improve my strength and fitness. The teachers are experienced, fun and meet you where you are each and every time to ensure you are supported and enjoying your time. There is a lot of variety to keep it interesting from Barre to yoga and Pilates. They are all excellent.

Yoganic was introduced to me by a colleague and I never looked back ever since! They hold a wide range of classes but I particularly love the pregnancy reformer and tower classes. The instructors are professional and ensure that they check on your pregnancy situation to cater exercises for each individual. I always feel safe and in good hands. Time always fly by during classes and I am thankful to be able to keep fit and well stretched during my pregnancy!

I’m glad I decided to start my pilates journey with Love Pilates. The team always makes me feel welcomed and I love the vibe of the studio. I have been going to the studio for 10 months and I’m feeling stronger than before. I look forward to going to their classes every week! Thank you!

I recently started attending classes at Yoganic Willoughby, and I am absolutely loving them! The calm, boutique nature of the classes is perfect to allow for a sense of community, as well as the gentle and personalized instruction required to maintain good form. The range of classes means it is easy to find a class to fit my schedule and abilities. The instructors are professional, lovely and encouraging, providing opportunity to challenge yourself whilst also meeting you where you are at.

I am feeling stronger already and am excited to continue my Yoganic journey! Thanks Libby & team for creating such a beautiful space.

I have been going to Yoganic for over 4 years now and joined yoga and reformer pilates classes through pregnancy and postpartum also. All the teachers are great, and the class sizes are small enough that you can get 1:1 support during the classes when needed. Regularly recommend to friends, and my mum loves joining me at the studio when she is visiting.

I have been coming here for 6+ years. Libby and the team are amazing. They are knowledgeable, committed to each clients health and well being and classes are fun, friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend Love Pilates highly enough!
