The Modern Studio Needs

COHR was built around a clear belief: great teaching is more than delivering exercises well. It is knowing how to read a room, respond to different bodies, communicate clearly, and create a class experience that feels both effective and connected.

Our approach is grounded in strong Pilates principles, movement quality, and intelligent teaching, while also reflecting the way Reformer is taught and experienced in studios today. We believe clients want more than choreography. They want clarity. They want to feel seen. They want to understand what they are doing and feel part of the experience they are having.

Meet the Founder

Diana Coffey

Founder, Educator & Reformer Teacher Trainer

Diana’s background in movement began long before Pilates. Originally a contemporary dancer, she later qualified as a personal trainer before finding Pilates through her own experience of managing injuries after years of dance training. That journey shaped the way she teaches today, with a strong focus on movement quality, clear coaching, and understanding how to work with different bodies in a way that feels both effective and adaptable.

Education That Builds Real Instructors

Blending practical teaching development with high-quality movement education, the training is designed to help instructors teach with greater confidence, adaptability, and presence.

Teaching That Connects

We care about developing teachers whose classes people come back for - not because they are performative, but because they are well taught, well paced, and thoughtfully delivered. That takes engagement, consistency, and a readiness to be part of the process.

Ready For The Room

Become the kind of instructor who knows how to lead a room, teach with clarity, and make confident decisions in real time. You will finish the academy able to programme with purpose, adapt well to different bodies, cue effectively, and deliver classes that feel safe, structured, and well taught.
