ABOUT ME
Hey! I’m Lucy - Pilates instructor, ex-dancer and founder of Lucy Dyson Pilates.
What started as teaching movement has grown into something much deeper: creating spaces where you can feel strong, calm and genuinely connected to yourself and to one another.
I believe movement should feel supportive, not punishing. My approach to Pilates is thoughtful, grounding and accessible. Focusing on strength, alignment and presence rather than perfection. Every class is designed to help you feel more at home in your body when you leave than when you arrived.
Alongside classes and 1:1s, Lucy Dyson Pilates has evolved into Pilates-led events, hen do experiences and a growing community beyond the mat.
Based in Manchester, I teach both in studios and across carefully curated events, with the long-term vision of building a wellness community that extends into retreats, workshops and experiences that support a slower, more connected way of living.
