Meet the Team | Your Pilates Instructors

Rachel Luxon

My relationship with movement has been lifelong, but it took on new meaning after an illness in 2007 left me navigating my own recovery. Pilates, specifically the Body Control Pilates method, gave me the framework I needed to understand my body, rebuild my strength, and move well again. That experience became the foundation for everything the studio is today.

I qualified as a Body Control Pilates teacher in 2016 and have been deepening my practice ever since, working with mentors and instructors from around the world. I'm also a registered Body Control Pilates Supervising Teacher, supporting trainee instructors through their own development.

My teaching spans the full range, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners, with particular focus on hypermobility, bone health, back pain, and scoliosis. I'm also passionate about women's health, and increasingly dedicated to the practice and teaching of Hypopressives, a powerful breath and postural technique that can make a profound difference to pelvic floor health and core function.

Pilates Instructor & Studio Founder

Dani Shore

Having studied Fine Arts, I have always had a deep appreciation for form, alignment, and detail. For years, I applied my energy to the fast-paced world of hospitality management. While I thrived on the rewarding challenges, the long hours and the physical nature of the job eventually took a toll on my body. Issues caused by my joint hypermobility were exacerbated and left me prone to instability and lower back pain.

Seeking to heal, I turned to Pilates as a client of Rachel Luxon Pilates. Over eight years, the classes completely transformed my life. It provided the precise strength, stabilisation, and body awareness I needed to manage my hypermobility, relieving my back pain and teaching me how to move with efficiency and ease.

This profound personal shift inspired a total career change. I transitioned from student to teacher. Under Rachel’s direct supervision and mentorship, I completed my training with Body Control Pilates, a world-leading standard for safe and effective movement.

I am incredibly proud to be teaching as an instructor within Rachel’s studio and supporting the community that helped me heal. I am dedicated to bringing that same hospitality and warmth to the studio, using movement to help you reclaim your strength and move with ease.
