Reassuringly Experienced to move your body
Studio Story
In October 2022 studio owner Stacy Weeks was looking to return home to Cornwall and decided that Wadebridge, somewhere she new well growing up, would be a great place for her business. Unfortunately commercial spaces were either too small or too expensive so she downsized her multi award winning Pilates business, The Red Yew Studio, to a small home studio in St Merryn until something perfect appeared.
Roll forward to October 2024 and the old tile shop in Wadebridge became vacant and in need of renovation but Stacy had the vision to see through the tired space. The building was transformed over 4 months by the landlords, RPCK Watson Properties a longstanding Wadebridge family business, to become the bespoke space you see today.
The Cornwall Pilates Studio has been designed specifically for you to enjoy and experience Pilates. Find out about the team as it grows below and discover why we have such an exceptional reputation.
