A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

A personal message from Michelle Jamieson on the vibrancy and community of Yellow Pilates.

Find joy in movement with our exceptional, high-quality Pilates classes. 

The Story of the Studio

In 2024, Founder Michelle returned to Glasgow with a vision that would become Yellow Pilates. 

Driven by a passion for sharing the Pilates method how it was originally intended, Michelle sought to create a unique space where clients could experience the best of the best.

Yellow Pilates cultivates a space that encompasses everything needed for an exceptional Pilates class in Glasgow. The fully equipped studio provides the ideal environment, complete with the necessary space, time, and equipment to facilitate classes that truly make a positive impact on clients lives.

At Yellow Pilates, we deliver exceptional Pilates classes, but our mission extends beyond the physical practice. We aim to positively influence our clients' lives, sharing joy that contributes to their overall well-being.

The opportunity to bring this vision to life came through a partnership with colleagues Vanessa Smith and Annette Weir. When Michelle joined the studio space in Glasgow City Centre, Yellow Pilates was born.

Michelle's dedication to the Pilates method has shaped Yellow Pilates into a melting pot of movement, creativity, laughter and of course, joy.

Dedicated Pilates instructors with extensive experience. 

Our instructors are highly-trained Pilates professionals with a wealth of knowledge in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. 

They have undergone rigorous Accredited Teacher Training with Pilates Foundation, globally renowned for its comprehensive training. 

Our instructors are highly-experienced in working with clients at all stages of life, including those navigating injury, rehabilitation, surgery, chronic conditions and mobility issues.

The power of Pilates cannot be underestimated. It is transformational.
