Bora Studio TW

Why Bora Studio is the leading Reformer Pilates studio in Tunbridge Wells, Kent & East Sussex

At Bora, Reformer Pilates isn’t a trend it’s a discipline, taught properly.

Bora Studio is led by Anissa, a qualified osteopath with a Master’s degree in Osteopathy, bringing clinical knowledge, precision, and integrity to every session. This means your movement is not only effective, but intelligent, safe, and tailored to your body.

Our instructors are highly qualified professionals not trainers certified through a one-week online course. Every member of our team is extensively trained to understand anatomy, biomechanics, injury, and progression, so you’re always in expert hands.

We specialise exclusively in Reformer Pilates. No distractions. No watered-down classes. Just focused, purposeful reformer-based exercise designed to build strength, resilience, and long-term results.

With only 9 reformers across 3 floors, we intentionally keep our classes small. Because at Bora, we know one size does not fit all. Small groups allow us to coach with precision, adapt to individual needs, and deliver the level of attention your body deserves.

This is Reformer Pilates, done properly.
This is Bora Studio.

Struggling with chronic low back pain? Pilates may help.

Research shows that Pilates can significantly reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low back pain. Unlike high-impact workouts, Pilates focuses on controlled, precise movements that strengthen the deep core muscles including the diaphragm, pelvic floor, and abdominals which play a key role in stabilising the spine.

Studies have found that Pilates can help:
✨ Reduce pain and disability
✨ Improve posture and spinal stability
✨ Increase mobility and body awareness
✨ Support better breathing and stress regulation

By correcting postural imbalances and strengthening supportive muscles, Pilates may help counteract the effects of prolonged sitting and everyday strain making it a powerful, low-impact option for long-term back health.

Evidence-based movement. Stronger core. Better support for your spine. 💪
