I have been attending classes with Heather for 3.5 years now. I have a long term chronic health condition and hadn't exercised for some time. Heather was patient and encouraging, adapting exercises when required but never letting me away with slacking!
I have relapsed this year and struggled to attend as regularly. Heather checks in and always welcomes me back with open arms after a break.
I have never liked exercise and you would never see me in a gym, but I absolutely love Heathers' classes. The reformer works every part of your body, and Heather makes each class different so that it doesn't become repetitive.
The classes are small and diverse for people, like me, who struggle in larger groups and to follow instructions.
I cannot recommend Heather, Sano Studio and reformer pilates enough.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the most nurturing & bone deep relaxing massage with Leigh at the weekend.for a second time. This time as a respite from a difficult family situation she instantly made is so easy for me to feel safe, supported & held. For me personally the connection with the therapist and the space they hold for me is almost more important than the massage itself and Leigh has a depth of compassion and care that so naturally made my time with her invaluable, and the massage was amazing, thank you Leigh for being such an incredible human.
Laura ❤️❤️❤️

I've been going to Sano Studio for a few years and this year had the pleasure of doing some 1:1 with Heather to build strength after an operation. This was a fantastic chance to regain my core, with my healing always at the forefront of our sessions.

More recently I've been to see Leigh who looks after my lashes and brows and keeps my make up routine to a welcome minimum. Having LVL lashes and laminated browns means I don't need mascara or to spend 10 minutes taming my brows. Plus Leighs always puts me at ease and adds some humour to some much needed 'me time.'

The team at Sano truly are a wonderfully, welcoming bunch!

I’ve been attending the beginners class weekly for several weeks now. Small classes with up to 6 in the class, meaning the instructor is paying close attention to you and providing personal feedback regularly, which has helped me feel like I’m getting the most out of each class. Was a bit nervous about reformers but the classes are very welcoming and I am loving it so far. Just booked a block of 10 classes. Looking forward to getting stronger!

Love Sano Studio!

Have been doing Reformer Pilates with Heather for a couple of years now, first of all to tone up for my wedding and I loved it so much I stuck with it, through every venue she’s been to until finding their home in their brilliant Morningside studio!

I’ve carried on doing Reformer throughout my pregnancy, in the comfort of knowing Heather’s clinically trained in pre-natal. The class sizes are great that it can still feel personal (but you’re not being picked on!) and everyone’s abilities are taken into consideration.

Would recommend Sano Studio to anyone looking to start Reformer Pilates or looking for a new studio.

I have loved doing the beginner Reformer Pilates classes. The instructor Laura is lovely and the class is fun even though you are working hard. I’m looking forward to doing more and getting fitter and stronger!

Sano reformer beginner classes: I have been twice now and both times the classes have been very informative, I feel so supported through each move. The breath work into the moves means that I focus purely on the session and what I am doing, the equipment by the second session is easy to use and I feel my body enjoy the challenges of the movements. I leave feeling taller, calmer and in such a better state of balance with life. Thank you Sano Studios and Laura who's classes I have attended.

I attended my first reformer Pilates class at Sano studio. Heather was very welcoming and immediately put me at ease. There were clear instructions throughout and lots of variations/adjustments along the way. Overall I loved the class and atmosphere and will definitely be back.
