Movement. Balance. Community.
About us
A thoughtful, high-quality movement experience rooted in community, wellbeing and intentional practice.
At The Circle Pilates, our mission is to deliver a thoughtful, high-quality movement experience that promotes wellbeing and strengthens connection within the local community. We believe in the power of intentional movement through Reformer, Barre, Mat Pilates and Soundbath to create a harmonious balance between physical strength and mental clarity.
Cultivating a zen space, bathed in natural light and organic elements, we offer a sanctuary where fluidity, movement and genuine human connection meet to support your ongoing health journey.
The Circle Pilates was founded by Jon Passarelli, a Pilates instructor with extensive experience teaching Reformer and Mat Pilates in London. TCP was born with the vision of offering more than just classes. A meaningful movement experience where quality, attention to detail and human connection always come first.

01 · Movement
The Reformer is a spring-resistance machine that works the full body through a complete range of motion with controlled tension. At The Circle, classes are capped at just 4 students — giving you the precision and correction of a private session, inside a motivating group environment.
Builds deep core strength, corrects posture, relieves back pain and increases flexibility. Suitable for all levels — from complete beginners to athletes improving performance.
02 · Movement & Strength
The foundation of Pilates practice — and the heart of our class offering. Mat classes build core strength, mobility and body awareness through precise, intentional movement. No equipment needed; just you and the mat.
Mat Pilates
Contemporary Pilates on the mat. Core activation, breath and alignment. Effective, accessible and deeply grounding.
Sculpt
Pilates meets resistance training. Weights, continuous movement and real intensity for visible strength and muscle tone.
Barre
Ballet-inspired conditioning. Small isometric movements that target glutes, thighs and core. Low impact, high burn.
03 · Recovery
Sound Bath is a passive recovery practice backed by neuroscience. Sustained acoustic frequencies — produced by crystal singing bowls and gongs — shift brainwave activity from Beta (active thinking) into Alpha and Theta states, the same deep rest your nervous system enters during REM sleep.
The result: measurable reductions in cortisol, lower resting heart rate, improved sleep quality and enhanced mental clarity. You lie down, close your eyes, and let the sound do the work.
04 · Private
One-to-one sessions or shared with one partner — the most focused and personalised way to train at The Circle. Jon tailors every session entirely to your goals, movement history and body, with no distractions and no compromise.
Ideal for rehabilitation, sport-specific training, postpartum recovery, or simply for those who want maximum results in minimum time.
Timetable
Small-group sessions designed for all levels. Every class is led by Jon Passarelli with personal attention and precise technique.
Small groups of 4. Spring resistance, full-body conditioning. Improves strength, posture and flexibility. Perfect for all levels.
Foundation and flow. Core strength, mobility and breathwork on the mat. Wed evening · Thu lunch · Sat lunch.
High-energy full-body workout. Pilates principles combined with weights and continuous movement. Expect your muscles to shake.
Deeply immersive. Crystal singing bowls and gongs guide the mind into deep rest. Stress relief and nervous system restoration.
