every body welcome
Our Method
We use a combination of traditional pilates method apparatus (that's the equipment, your best buddy!) to create bespoke programs for each client.
This delivers a movement experience that is meaningful for the individual and focused on results that get you strong. Think of it as pilates personal training.
Our Space
Our studios are designed with a focus on quality training in an accessible environment:
To empower people to move better and feel better.
To inspire people to take ownership of movement and get strong in a safe and nurturing community-like space.
A place where you can belong and get strong.
Our Approach
We recognise that not everyone moves the same and many of us feel “left behind” in big group environments, or simply prefer more personalised instruction.
Tendu Studio is a place where the individual's body is challenged, nurtured and encouraged with every visit - all in boutique environments.
Meet Nat…
Founder Natalie created Tendu Studio with a focus on providing quality training in an accessible environment.
Combining 23 years of dance teaching experience (and a lifetime of dance training) as well as national pilates instruction accreditation, Natalie is passionate about sharing the many benefits of pilates.
While pursuing her career as a professional dancer, Natalie fell in love with teaching and soon after, the joy of pilates.
Sharing her experience and passion for her dance craft around the globe with students of all ages, Natalie has always taken pride in offering quality, caring, safe movement education and aims to get the most out of everyone, regardless of age or ability.
With an expansive range of skill levels across her portfolio, education in pilates instruction became a natural extension from dance teacher. Her own musculoskeletal challenges gave Natalie first hand experience of how pilates can strengthen, improve and empower.
Our classes:
We use a combination of traditional pilates method apparatus (that's the equipment) to create bespoke programs for each client. We take the time to understand your body and your goals.
As equipment trained pilates instructors (aka studio or clinically trained) we are qualified to deliver considered and effective rehab strategies. We work with injured, pregnant, post natal and ageing clients to deliver the results they seek. We also cater to elite and amateur level athletes, and sports enthusiasts. Simply put, everyone, and all abilities are welcome.
Reformer. Wundu chair. Tower and Matwork. As Joseph Pilates intended, we use the various apparatus in a holistic plan to maximise your movement potential… and to keep things interesting!
Finally, we offer various class formats from private to paired, to suit your movement preference and budget.
