Colchester and The Old Joinery Studio have joined together to create The Practise – two light-filled studios offering Pilates, Reformer Pilates, yoga and movement classes led by expert teachers. Alongside Pilates in Colchester, we provide therapy rooms for counselling and coaching. Whether you’re seeking yoga near you, pilates or therapy in Colchester, our inclusive space welcomes every body.

Our values

open bodied + open minded + open hearted

The Practise is the act of showing up, again and again. We offer no quick fixes, no before and afters, The Practise is a commitment to inner and outer work that is constantly evolving.

Our space is a unique character in itself. A restored joinery, the walls of our building echo our ethos: much as joinery is more than simple construction, The Practise goes beyond a workout. Here we learn to move in the way humans are intended to be – graceful, supple and strong.

We are dedicated to being a sanctuary for everyone – show up as you are – we are all here for the practise.
