Core (Fun)damentals – Core & Stability Class in London N7
Core Strength Meets Mindful Movement
Join me in person every Saturday at 8.30am for Core (Fun)damentals – a women’s only class aimed at building strong core foundations for a stronger you!
For 60minutes, I will be helping you burn fat whilst strengthening the muscles of your stomach, back and booty using a combination of elements from mat Pilates and functional movement patterns.
Each week, the main workout block will vary in style and focus — designed to keep things fresh, engaging, and effective. Sometimes we’ll move through a Pilates-inspired flow on the mat, other times we’ll incorporate standing strength exercises or a full-body circuit. It might be a group-paced workout or a timed routine — no two sessions are ever quite the same!
What stays consistent is that every session is carefully structured to be inclusive and adaptable. You’ll be guided through exercises with clear progressions and regressions, so you can work at a level that challenges you safely — whether you’re brand new or building strength.
Expect a mix of:
- Bodyweight core and stability work
- Mat-based Pilates-inspired movements
- Standing exercises for posture and balance
- Resistance bands, booty bands, and occasional dumbbell use
No matter the format, you’ll leave feeling stronger, more connected to your body, and ready to take on the day.
You’ll move with control, improve balance, and reinforce posture and joint stability. Ideal for those looking to build core strength without high impact.
Don’t miss out on the chance to start working towards a better and more healthier you!

Can I join if I’m pregnant or postpartum?
Absolutely! I am is a Pre and Post Natal Specialist so If you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, i’ll tailor the session with safe variations to support your stage and needs.
Is this class suitable if I have an injury?
If you have any specific health concerns or injuries, I would question if a class is the best option for you. Although adaptations can and will of course be offered to prevent aggravating your situation, in a class environment you may not necessarily be able to receive the level of care that you deserve. Personal training may be a better option for you as this allows for your trainer to plan and prepare specific exercises that not only prevent worsening your injury but can also encourage healing.
If you do have specific concerns, you are advised to email Natalie prior to the class so she can advise you accordingly and prepare alternatives where necessary. At the very least, speak to her at the beginning of class, but given the nature of busy classes, receiving the level of attention and care that you deserve may be difficult so a message beforehand is always encouraged.
