{about Lotus}

Lotus Health and Fitness was founded by Clare Bannister in 2012

‘I’ve worked in the Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Industry for over 25 years. Throughout this time I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and skills which I now bring to my studio. 

Why do we offer Pilates, Yoga and Ayurveda? Each practice follows the holistic philosophy of mind-body health and fitness. 

Lotus offers an Ayurvedic approach to health, fitness  and wellbeing, with a focus on activity, nutrition and therapies to suit you whatever your fitness level and goals. 

Ayurveda is a tried and tested, common sense approach to living well; staying in good health, and in harmony with your environment. At Lotus we understand that we are all individual, and our diet, lifestyle, exercise and activity preferences are unique.

We offer a range of physical activities including Yoga, Pilates Reformer, Pilates Tower and Mat based Pilates classes and 1-1 sessions designed to suit all levels.

We provide diet and nutritional therapy and workshops, to support optimal health and Ayurvedic massage therapy for treatment of common ailments and relaxation time for you.

Whatever stage of life you are in, whatever level of fitness you have, Lotus will support and help you feel physically and emotionally well and become the best version of yourself.



The world in which we live and the demands we place upon ourselves can be tough on the body and the mind. Lotus Health and Fitness can help you achieve balance - radiant good health.

One of the key benefits of using the Tower apparatus is developing strength, flexibility and connection to the posterior muscle chain: muscles of the back, glutes and hamstrings.And we’ve taken this connection to the Reformer, where we’re been working on the arm - back connection. The arms are the connection from the reformer springs to the back muscles. With this focus I’ve seen an amazing improvement in upper back strength and posture in my clients.Another reminder of the benefits we see training across the different kinds of #Pilates apparatus 💪Pilates Tower classes - Monday 12.30pm Pilates Tower L2 (Open Level)Wednesday 6.30pm Pilates Tower L2 (Open Level)Thursday 6.30pm Pilates Tower L2 (Open Level)Friday 8.00am Pilates Tower L2 (Open Level)#PilatesTower #HighamsPark #PilatesEastLondon ...
