Where Classical Pilates Meets Healing Grace
A private, one-on-one Pilates studio led by a physiotherapy-certified instructor. Every session is built entirely around you — your body, your history, your goals.
Our Philosophy
What Makes Swan Different
The Classical Method
Joseph Pilates spent decades refining this system. Every exercise exists for a reason, in a specific order, for a specific purpose. At Swan you learn it the right way — the authentic work, correctly taught.
Physiotherapy-Informed
Rachel's physiotherapy training shapes how she teaches. She reads movement the way a clinician does — alignment, breath, and the patterns underneath — and channels all of it into your Pilates practice.
Truly Private
One client. One instructor. One hour of complete focus. You will never be an afterthought at Swan Pilates — the studio experience that group classes simply cannot replicate.

Meet Rachel Balali
Rachel brings something rare to the Pilates world: a genuine physiotherapy background combined with deep classical Pilates training. Years of clinical study now live inside how she teaches movement — and the difference shows.
Working with Rachel, you are not just doing Pilates. You are working with someone who understands the architecture of the human body and reads movement with a trained, clinical eye.
She works exclusively with private clients. Every session begins with listening.
The Studio
Full Classical Apparatus
The complete classical apparatus — seven distinct machines, each designed to develop a different aspect of your movement and strength.
From Our Clients
Real Experiences
Within six weeks I finally understood what was actually happening in my body — and, more importantly, what to do about it.
This is not the Pilates you take at a gym. This is the real thing. Rachel teaches you how to think about movement altogether.
At 62, I had accepted that back stiffness was part of life. Three months with Rachel proved me wrong. I move better now than I did at 50.
