Private Pilates tuition, tailored to your goals
Private Pilates tuition tailored to your goals.
Good Ground Pilates is about finding your foundation. My philosophy is simple: strength starts from the ground up.
Feeling grounded, confident, flexible and strong can change how you move and feel every day.
I specialise in tailored private Reformer and Mat Pilates programmes designed to help you connect with your body and achieve your own personal goals, with progressive adaptation.
Working one-to-one allows for bespoke focus on your setup and movement with appropriate progression in a supportive environment. A personalised programme offers dedicated expert care to improve your body performance.
I focus on building powerful bodies that support fulfilling lives - improving core strength, posture and mobility - in a relaxed, supportive, and grounding private space.
Our comfortable studio is based in Winchelsea, Rye, East Sussex, with stunning views of this area of outstanding natural beauty.
About your instructor
I’m Nykeeta, an LPA-trained Pilates instructor, specialising in bespoke tuition tailored towards your personal goals.
I came to Pilates after years of high-impact snowboarding and horse riding had taken their toll on my joints. I began one-to-one Reformer Pilates tuition with Alan Herdman studio. Herdman set up the country's first Pilates studio, having been trained in New York by Carola Trier and Bob Fitzgerald - both students of Joseph Pilates.
My goal was to build strength and mobility to protect and support my neck discs from further damage. Over time, not only did all my pain disappear, but Pilates has led me to the best fitness, strength and confidence of my life, allowing me to take on activities and daily challenges I couldn’t previously have imagined.
I’ve practised Reformer and Mat Pilates at some of the best studios in the UK, and trained with the London Pilates Academy. I bring that depth of experience to every bespoke 1:1 programme - designed entirely for your body and your goals. Whether you're recovering from injury, building strength, or simply ready to move and feel better, I hope you choose to practise Pilates with me.
Pilates develops core stability, strength, mobility, and posture - building a body that moves and feels better every day.
Using controlled body movement and focused breathing, Pilates conditions the body and calms the mind.
Reformer Pilates uses spring-loaded resistance to support and challenge the body at the same time, offering an accessible, dynamic, and deeply effective practice.
Mat Pilates uses bodyweight resistance and layered movement to build foundational strength and flexibility.
Each delivers a system of intentional, controlled exercise, building a more powerful and grounded body.
Pilates is ideal for general fitness and body maintenance, rehabilitation, and athletic performance and recovery.

I would very much like to recommend Good Ground Pilates. Now in my late seventies, I have come to realise the importance of maintaining muscle strength in order to avoid falls and to keep doing what I need to do.
With a Pilates Reformer and skilled instruction it is possible to keep muscular strength in good tone in all parts of the body. Not only this, but I find Nykeeta's sessions thoroughly enjoyable, good not only for the body, but for mind and soul also. I would like to thoroughly recommend Good Ground Pilates, it is worth every penny!
