Pilates · Reformer · Mat

Move slowly. Breathe deeply.

A small, light-filled pilates studio on the first floor of an old Georgian house. Six reformers, one big window, and classes that never feel rushed.

Our approach

Núa means new. We think every class should feel a little like starting again.

We keep classes small — six on the reformers, ten on the mat — so your teacher knows your name, your niggles and the shoulder you favour.

There are no mirrors and no loud music. Just good instruction, plenty of daylight and enough time between classes that nobody is ever hurried out the door.

Classes

Not sure where to start? Slow Flow or a 1:1 introduction are both lovely first classes.

  • 01

    Reformer

    All levels · 50 min

    Spring-loaded resistance on the reformer for long, strong lines. Small groups of six, so every set-up gets a second look.

  • 02

    Mat

    All levels · 45 min

    The classical repertoire on the mat — breath, control and a deep, honest core. No equipment to work out, just you.

  • 03

    Prenatal

    From 14 weeks · 45 min

    Gentle, supportive work for each trimester, led by an instructor trained in pre- and postnatal pilates.

  • 04

    Slow Flow

    Beginners · 60 min

    An unhurried class for stiff backs and busy heads. Longer holds, softer transitions, a little stillness at the end.

  • 05

    Reformer Strength

    Intermediate · 50 min

    Heavier springs and a steadier pace for when you know the basics and want to feel it the next day.

  • 06

    Postnatal

    6+ weeks postpartum · 45 min

    Reconnect with your core and pelvic floor. Babies under crawling age are welcome on the mat beside you.

The teachers

  • Clodagh Ní Bhriain

    Founder · Reformer & Mat

    Former contemporary dancer. Fifteen years teaching, and still the first one in to open the shutters at 6:40.

  • Niamh Gallagher

    Pre- & postnatal specialist

    Trained physiotherapist who came to pilates after her own pregnancies. Calm, precise and very good with nervous beginners.

  • Tomás Ryan

    Reformer Strength

    Ex-club hurler who found pilates through a back injury. Makes hard classes feel oddly enjoyable.

“I came for my back and stayed for the quiet. It’s the only hour of the week where nobody needs anything from me.”
