I’m Sarah Russell, clinical Pilates instructor, exercise specialist and the founder of The Ostomy Studio. I'm also the author of The Bowel Cancer Recovery Toolkit.  I’ve had a stoma since 2010 so I understand what life with an ostomy is like. I know how it feels to be vulnerable after surgery and not sure where to start. 

My mission is to help people recover after stoma surgery, to exercise safely and rebuild strength and confidence, using the power of Pilates based therapeutic exercise. Through this website you can take part in specialist online Pilates classes and videos, which are safe and appropriate for anyone with a stoma.  All from the comfort, safety and privacy of your own home.

​

Classes are for everyone who has, or has ever had, an ostomy. Whether you had your surgery recently or years ago, this is the place for you. I will help you to restore your  body confidence and core muscle strength, allowing you to get back to normal and to enjoy living life again.

​

Wherever you are in your stoma journey, you’re in safe hands and I can’t wait for you to join me. Watch the video below to find out more and get a taster of what The Ostomy Studio can offer you.
