Millie

Millie was in the Royal Air Force for 21 years before she left after a life changing cancer journey. Although she is currently cancer free, it changed her entire outlook on life.

The last few years have been tough but so many positives come from adversity. Pilates played a fundamental part in her recovery - both physically and mentally. The challenges she faced has certainly made her a more compassionate and empathetic Pilates instructor.

Millie’s has always had a passion for health and fitness and loves nothing more than teaching people that Pilates is not just stretching or a weird spin off from yoga. If you join a class with Millie, you should be prepared for a complex love-hate relationship with her as she takes you through a dynamic Pilates class. While at times you will question why you pay for such torture you will be back the following week to review the same question. Don’t fight it – just accept it.

Millie loves to laugh, and so you should bring your sense of humour to any session. While you don’t have to love country music, you should be prepared to listen to a full 50 minutes of it during each session. More importantly, just know - if you want to join one of her classes - you’re in safe hands!

Molly

Molly has a degree in Performing Arts and her love for dance helped her find and fall in love with Pilates. Molly has a passion for any movement that makes you feel good.

From years of hustling in sales, the arrival of her son made her re-evaluate what is important in life. Her outlook shifted from chasing deadlines to ensuring she could be present during the magical, messy moments that come with small children and that is what led her to joining Millie in this Pilates venture.

Molly lives with her husband , son and gorgeous Staffie dog. She enjoys the simple things in life, a cold glass of wine, belly laughs and trying out new ways to feel good inside and out. Molly’s style of teaching is inclusive, strength based and fun. Expect to leave the studio feeling energised and desperate to book another session!

Tim

Tim is an ex-special forces operator turned reformer pilates renegade. After 30 years in the elite forces, he traded military boots for grippy socks and stealth missions for spinal alignment. Joining his wife Millie, and her business partner Molly, he now helps run Vagabond Pilates!

Drawing on his background he brings military precision, grit and a healthy dose of banter to every reformer class. Expect a sharp eye on form and the occasional rogue playlist.

Don’t be fooled by his calm vibes, Tim’s sessions are no-nonsense, high-energy, and built to push you just past your comfort zone (with a smile ofc). Whether you’re a first timer or an absolute pro, his goal is simple: get you strong, mobile and moving better than ever.

A firm believer that more men would benefit from Pilates, he has launched a male only class called ‘Broformer’ - check out our classes for more information.
