Studio Yutori — A Space to Be

Classes at Studio Yutori

Something for every body

New to Pilates, yoga, or personal training — or looking to build on your practice? Wherever you're starting from, there's a class here for you.

Start with Seedling and progress through Harvest on the Reformer, or join Roots and Deep Roots for a well-rounded or strength-focused Mat Pilates class. Wind down with Sundown Yoga or Fallow Stretch, or work one-to-one with Oberon for Personal Training built entirely around you. Every session is designed to create a little more room to breathe, in the studio and beyond it.

We know booking your first session can feel like a big step, especially if you're new or returning after time away. There's no need to feel nervous — every class is taught at a pace that suits you, with modifications always on hand.

Prefer the studio to yourself? Private 1:1 Reformer sessions give you Elry's full attention, at whatever pace suits you. They're also what we'd usually suggest if you're pregnant or recently had a baby, so every movement can be paced and adapted around you — get in touch and we'll find the right starting point together.

Seedling — Beginner Reformer

Your total introduction to Reformer Pilates.

Everything starts small. Seedling is your gentle first step on the Reformer, walking you through the fundamentals — posture, breath, and control — in a calm, no-pressure setting. Perfect if you've never used a Reformer before, or need a refresh.

Harvest — Progressive Reformer

Building strength, control, and technique.

Where steady growth pays off. Harvest builds on the basics, layering in more strength, flow, and challenge as your confidence and technique develop.

Roots — Mat Class

A blend of stretch, strength, and calm.

Grounded and well-rounded. Roots combines gentle stretch and release with moments of strength — creating space to feel both calm and stronger, in equal measure.

Deep Roots — Mat Class

A strength-focused Mat session.

Where Roots blends, Deep Roots digs in. A more intense Mat class focused on building real strength — anchoring you the way the deepest roots hold firm, giving you the stability to grow further in every other part of your practice.

Sundown — Hatha Yoga

Slow down and restore, as the day winds down.

A gentle Hatha Yoga class for the end of the day, designed to help you slow down, stretch, and restore. Suitable for all abilities, it supports mental health and wellbeing through mindful breathing, soothing postures, and gentle movement. You'll release tension, calm the mind, and reconnect with your body — each class ending with a cosy, deeply relaxing rest, leaving you refreshed, balanced, and ready for a restful evening.

Fallow — Stretch (30 min)

Rest, deliberately built in.

Named for the practice of letting land rest between harvests, Fallow is a quiet 30 minutes of pure release — a deliberate pocket of space after an evening Reformer or Mat class. This is Yutori in its purest form: room built in on purpose, not left to chance.

Nestled at Old Hagg Farm

Meet The Team

The people behind the practice

Elry

Pilates & Reformer Instructor

Elry is the founder of Studio Yutori and your Level 3 qualified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor here in Doddington, Lincolnshire. She brings a genuine passion for movement and strength training to every class.

Before teaching Pilates, Elry's background in marketing and travel shaped the way she connects with people. Originally from Brighton, by the sea, she brings a touch of coastal calm inland — blending seaside stillness with the quiet of the Lincolnshire countryside at Old Hagg Farm.

As a teacher, Elry is nurturing and empathetic, creating a supportive space where every student feels seen and understood. Her approach helps clients build strength and confidence at their own pace, in a calm, judgement-free environment.

Oberon

Lead Personal Trainer

Oberon is the lead personal trainer at Studio Yutori and owner of Lacroix Training. His approach is centred on bodyweight strength and mobility — helping people get stronger, move without pain, and do the things they want to do in everyday life.

With a degree in Sport and Exercise Science and a background in professional basketball, he specialises in overcoming physical restrictions and reducing pain, with a particular focus on lower back pain.

Oberon starts by identifying where you're weak or restricted, then builds a programme around fixing that, whatever your starting point.

Cathy

Yoga & Pilates Instructor

Cathy is a welcoming and approachable Yoga and Pilates teacher at Studio Yutori, with a passion for helping people discover the benefits of movement and mindfulness in a way that feels accessible to everyone.

A Level 4 British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) teacher, Level 3 Pilates instructor, and Reformer Pilates teacher, Cathy believes every body can move with confidence — whatever your age, experience, or ability.

She loves the camaraderie that builds within her classes, where students encourage one another, share a laugh, and become part of a genuinely supportive community. Inspired every day by the Lincolnshire countryside, Cathy is passionate about helping people build strength, improve mobility, and find moments of calm that extend far beyond the mat.
