Meet Your Instructors

Jess Edmonds
CO-FOUNDER / INSTRUCTOR
I’m someone who’s always loved being active, whether it’s walking the dog, netball, gym classes or anything outdoorsy. I first discovered Pilates after a hip and back injury left me barely able to walk, and what started as rehab quickly became a passion.
Pilates helped me rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and reconnect with movement in a whole new way. It changed everything - so I trained as an instructor and haven’t looked back.
I’ve since qualified in Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and completed my yoga teacher training in Costa Rica earlier this year. Now, I split my time between teaching classes and 1:1s, working part-time in my corporate job at Tevir Group, and soaking up the amazing community Kel & I have built between us.
I’ve made lifelong friends through Pilates, and nothing makes me happier than helping others discover just how good it feels to move with purpose.

CO-FOUNDER / INSTRUCTOR
I’m a big believer in moving in a way that feels good and works for your body. After a hip injury forced me to slow down, I turned to Pilates for rehab... and quickly realised it was so much more than that.
Pilates gave me a new way to move - challenging but calm, energising yet focused. It helped me rebuild strength and find balance, both physically and mentally. I trained as an instructor in 2024 and have been teaching ever since, alongside my corporate job.
A trip to Costa Rica is where Jess and I shared the vision for Studio Vida - and we’ve brought it to life right here on the Isle of Man. For me, Pilates is the perfect way to channel your energy while finding your inner calm through intentional movement.
