Vagabond Pilates is proud to celebrate two years of bringing high quality reformer Pilates to Dorset. What began as a small home studio has grown into two thriving Pilates studios, a dedicated team of instructors and a supportive local community built around movement and wellbeing.

From a Home Studio to Two Established Pilates Studios in Dorset.

Two years ago, Millie opened the doors to the first Vagabond Pilates studio. Originally created as a small home based set up to complement her medical pension from the Military, the studio quickly developed into something much bigger than expected.

One year later, Molly joined the business and together they committed fully to expanding Vagabond Pilates with the opening of the Lytchett Matravers studio. There was no elaborate business plan, just a shared vision to offer high quality reformer Pilates in Dorset and make professional instruction accessible to the local community.

Today, Vagabond Pilates operates two boutique studios in Dorset and has grown to a team of ten highly trained instructors delivering expert led reformer Pilates classes.

Building a Pilates Community in Dorset.

From the very first reformer Pilates class, members have brought energy, trust and enthusiasm into the studio. Vagabond Pilates has become more than a place to exercise. It is a welcoming environment centred around support, friendship, inclusivity and personal progress.

Spending just a few minutes inside either studio makes it clear that this is a community focused Pilates studio in Dorset where people feel encouraged and valued.

The Benefits of Reformer Pilates.

Both studios specialise in reformer Pilates classes designed to improve movement quality, increase core strength, enhance mobility and flexibility, and develop greater body awareness.

Reformer Pilates is particularly effective for:

Core strengthening
Improving posture
Increasing joint mobility
Supporting injury prevention
Enhancing overall functional movement

Sessions are suitable for beginners and experienced clients alike, with expert instruction ensuring exercises are adapted appropriately for each individual.

Reformer Pilates in Blandford and Lytchett Matravers.

Vagabond Pilates operates in two locations:

Reformer Pilates Blandford, R Lukins, Stud Farm, DT11 8XA (next to Lo's Cafe)
Reformer Pilates Lytchett Matravers, Bere Farm, BH16 6ER (next to the Barn Cafe)

The Blandford studio is also home to Towers apparatus, which uses vertical spring resistance to provide both challenge and support. This equipment is especially beneficial for spinal mobility work, stretching, rehabilitation support and for those wishing to deepen their Pilates practice.

The addition of Towers allows clients to experience a broader range of traditional Pilates method exercises while improving strength and stability in a controlled environment.
