Welcome to Avaia Pilates & Wellness

Hi, I’m Lynsey — a passionate and enthusiastic Level 3 qualified Pilates instructor.

My Pilates journey started as a side interest but truly came to life in 2024 when I discovered Reformer Pilates — and I haven’t looked back since. After years of struggling with lower back and hip pain, it’s the only form of exercise that has significantly improved my mobility and reduced my discomfort. Pilates has helped me feel stronger, more balanced, and more at peace in my body, and I’m passionate about helping others experience those same benefits.

I’ve always led an active lifestyle — from running and cycling to yoga, resistance training, and HIIT — but Pilates offers something unique: a powerful blend of strength, mobility and calm. I believe movement should be enjoyable and empowering, not intimidating, so I hope to bring a fun, open and down-to-earth style to every class!

In 2025, after years of wanting to work within in the health and fitness space, I finally took the leap and gained my Level 3 Qualification in instructing Mat-based Pilates, later followed by Reformer. I'm now working towards my Level 4 certification, as well as certification in instructing Pilates for pre- and post-natal clients, and for those managing orthopaedic conditions.

I’m incredibly excited about what’s to come and can’t wait to welcome you to the mat or Reformer!
