Our story

OREN is designed to inspire both movement and connection.

OREN was created with a clear purpose, to offer a calm, considered space where people of all experience levels can move, reset, and feel part of something meaningful. From day one, the focus has been on long term wellbeing, creating a studio that people genuinely love returning to.

Community sits at the heart of OREN. It is the feeling you get when you walk through the door, the familiar faces at reception, the shared moments before and after class, and the quiet confidence that comes from being supported without pressure. Connection here is built through consistency, care, and an environment designed to help every client feel at ease in their own journey.

Our approach to movement blends progressive practices such as Reformer Pilates and infrared heated yoga and Pilates, all delivered with intention and expertise. This is balanced by a recovery suite designed to encourage rest, regulation, and restoration, because wellbeing does not stop when the class ends.

Named after the Welsh word for orange, OREN reflects optimism, warmth, and energy, qualities that shape everything we do. The studio is a place to slow down when life feels busy, to move with purpose, and to reconnect with yourself and others.

Whether you are here for movement, recovery, or simply to enjoy the space, OREN is more than a wellness studio. It is a place to feel grounded, supported, and part of a community that values how you feel.

  • At OREN, our signature class styles are designed to meet you where you are - whether you’re seeking flow or fire.

    FLOW


    A calm, focused class designed to build strength through form and breath. Flow slows things down so you can move with precision, awareness, and full-body control. Suitable for all levels, with layers offered throughout so you can move at the pace and depth that feels right for you.

    FIRE


    Fire moves with purpose and power. Breath-led sequences build strength and stamina, while seamless transitions and creative movement keep your body engaged from start to finish. Expect a steady burn. Open to all abilities, with space to modify, challenge, or adapt to your energy.

    • For Reformer Pilates, grip socks must be worn for hygiene and safety. If you don’t have any, they will be available for purchase at reception.

    • For the Recovery Suite, please bring your own towel or rent one for £3.50 from reception.

  • Yes! All classes are suited to all levels, and instructors will provide progressions and modifications to ensure every exercise meets your individual needs. We would recommend starting with our Flow class, then progressing onto Fire once you feel comfortable.

  • To ensure the best and safest experience for everyone, please arrive 5 to 10 minutes before your class begins. You may enter up to 5 minutes after the class has started. After this point, entry will not be permitted under any circumstances, as missing the warm up increases the risk of injury and disrupts the session for others. Thank you for your understanding.

    If this is your first class, it is essential that you arrive 5 to 10 minutes early so the instructor can show you how to use the equipment. Arriving late to your first class is unsafe, and you will not be able to join the session.

  • The Recovery Suite has space for up to 4 people at a time. If you book for yourself, there may be up to 3 others in there with you.

    Each person needs to book individually, as we require everyone to agree to our health and safety terms and sign their own waiver.

    If you're looking to come as a group, just drop us a DM or email to check availability. You won’t be able to see how many spots are already booked online.

    We can allow up to 6 if you are a group of friends, but this needs to be arranged with us manually. Just give us a call or send us an email and we will organise it for you.

Recovery Suite FAQs

  • Yes, recovery sessions must be booked in advance through the OREN Wellness app under the appointments tab on the book page.

    The recovery suite is £20 per person for a 60-minute session, with a maximum of 4 people at a time.

    If you are a group of up to 6, we can accommodate this, but it needs to be arranged in through us directly. Please send us an email and we will organise it for you.

    oren@orenwellness.co.uk

  • Yes! Recovery sessions are to be booked separately.

  • For Clearlight infrared sauna sessions, a good starting point is 15 to 30 minutes. As you build tolerance, you can gradually increase the time, but we recommend a maximum of 45 minutes. It is important to listen to your body and adjust based on how you feel, especially if you are new to sauna use.

    For ice baths, begin with 1–3 minutes if you’re new to cold exposure, gradually working up to 5–8 minutes as your body adapts. Controlled breathing and a gradual build-up are key to maximising the benefits.

    For our LED red light therapy panel, we recommend 10–20 minutes per session. This is enough to stimulate cellular regeneration and support skin, muscle recovery, and overall wellbeing. Sessions can be done regularly, depending on your personal goals and tolerance.

    If there are 4 people using the recovery suite, please be mindful of how long you spend on the red light panel so that everyone has a chance to use it. 15 minutes is plenty of time to enjoy the benefits.
