Hi, I’m Lou, owner and founder of The Pilates Studio, Devon. I am a level 5 Romana’s Pilates Teacher, trained in the fully comprehensive method of Pilates. I completed my apprenticeship hours at Kinetic Pilates with Rebecca Convey and was certified by Marjorie Oron of The Pilates Studio in The Hague.
I am dedicated to providing top-tier private and small group training sessions. My mission is to guide individuals towards moving more efficiently, resulting in whole-body strength vitality, and energy!
Embrace the journey of challenging your body and mind to reach new heights. Through expert guidance and personalised sessions, we will work together to achieve your wellness goals.

Originally a professional dancer with the Vienna State Opera, Nicki’s lifelong passion for movement continues to shape her work today. Her background brings precision, grace, and attention to detail, helping clients build strength, improve posture, and move with greater ease.
Nicki teaches with warmth, expertise, and the discipline of a dancer — supporting you to feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident in your body.
