Lara Joannides
Lara is a certified Pilates instructor and neuroinclusive coach based at Beaconsfield Health Hub, offering Reformer and full apparatus sessions to clients across Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, and the surrounding areas.
Certified with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) — renowned for its physiotherapy-based approach and clinical rigour — Lara has since expanded her training across the full Pilates apparatus and is continuing to build her expertise with advanced therapy Pilates and nutrition training. Her foundation in biomechanics and breath shapes everything about how she teaches, helping clients find genuine balance and reconnect with how their bodies feel and move.
Lara’s journey into Pilates is as personal as it is professional. As someone who is both hypermobile and neurodivergent, she discovered Pilates in 2012 as the only movement practice she could finally sustain — and the one that allowed her to move without pain. After leaving a high-pressure career in broadcasting, she channelled that lived experience into a practice built around empathy, precision, and lasting results.
Her sessions are particularly well-suited to hypermobile and neurodivergent clients, and are designed with accessibility and personalisation at their core — ensuring the right level of challenge for every body, every session. Whether you are new to movement, managing hypermobility, or simply looking to build strength, confidence, and nervous system regulation, Lara will meet you exactly where you are.
