your instructor
The Mews Pilates opened its doors in Delgany, Co. Wicklow, in Autumn 2020 at the height of the pandemic. Maeve, the owner of the studio, is originally from Greystones, and was first introduced to Pilates around 2008. It has been and continues to be the most inspiring, challenging and always motivating journey. We look forward to welcoming you to the studio to start you on your own personal Pilates journey.
Why Pilates?
Pilates is for everyone, it works for all ages, gender, body types, and all levels of fitness. It focuses on exercises that build core, back and pelvic strength, it improves flexibilty while using breathwork that can reduce stress.
Why BASI?
Experience of different methods in different countries led Maeve to a BASI studio in London. The BASI method really stood out, the contemporary feel without losing touch with Classic Pilates, equipment that fit the bodies of present day, and a focus on safety in all aspects of teaching.
Importance of Setting Goals
Goals do not have to be big, extravagant, unattainable points. Pilates has the ability to allow participants to set goals that are individual to them. This could be a simple goal of turning up each week, feeling better in your daily movement, working on that injury, or feeling the progress in a Pilates class you are taking.

“I worked with Maeve on the reformer for about two years in London before she set up her practice in Delgany. I was new to Pilates and it totally transformed the way that I thought about exercise.” - Helen
Get to know Maeve
Maeve, the owner of the studio, is originally from Greystones, and was first introduced to Pilates around 2008. Through physio after the birth of her first child in 2012, she was introduced to the Reformer to help her regain strength in specific areas, and from there she embarked on regular and consistent Pilates practice. She continued her practice in classes, 1:1 instruction in London and then in New York, while living there for a few years. On return to London, she decided to change careers from Psychology & Social Work and pursue her training in 2016 to become a full-time BASI® Pilates instructor (at The Pilates Clinic in London, the BASI Training Centre). It has been and continues to be the most inspiring, challenging and always motivating journey.
