Dan (Danika)
Co-founder / Director/ Instructor
Hi, I'm Danika but I most commonly go by 'Dan' as my full name is usually mispronounced which drives me crazy!
I fell in love with Pilates in 2017 whilst living over in the UK after never having tried it before. It was a welcomed new passion and direction after experiencing a great loss and i very quickly became hooked and new this was something I wanted to pursue and bring that same passion to others. I headed back to Australia to complete my instuctor training and began teaching small regular Matwork classes in Donnybrook where I buit a strong consistant following of people. I am qualifed in both reformer, Matwork, Barre and have also completed an advanced Diploma in Clinical Pilates to enable me to delve into the rehab side of Pilates a little more. I am passionate about improving the quality of peoples lives through the Pilates movement. It brings me joy to see their practice grow and the enjoyment that it brings them to have those small moments of midfulness and self prioritisation in their week.
It was a life long goal of mine to eventually have a Studio space of my own and after meeting Bonnie I was able to acheive this goal a lot sooner than I ever expected. I am so proud of the beautiful community we have built at Sculpt Pilates & Barre and am overwhelmed with happiness with how it continues to grow and evolve for the better.
I can't wait to see you in the Studio xx
Bonnie
Co-founder/ Director/ Instructor
My name is Bonnie, I'm one of the owners you will see walking around relling you what to do and smiling while i watch you curse at me in your head!
I'm a mother of a 13 year old who is my whole heart and outside of teaching i love spending time with my friends sipping coffee, attached to my kindle or watching my son plan one of his many sports.
I began my Pilates journey back in 2020 attending group Mat Pilates sessions. I remember hearing of 'Pilates' however i had no idea what it actually was or what i was walking in to.. After that first session and feeling that side lying burn (IYKYK) I was hooked. It became an addiction that I wanted to do every day and when i incorperated reformer Pilates, that addiction grew to sometimes twice per day.
I became an instructor because I wanted everyone to love Pilates as much as I did. It gave me a whole new love of exercising in a way that felt safe and amazing for my body. When i began teaching, my goal was to provide my clients with the sames feeling I had when i first started and make them want to chase that feeling everyday. It feels almost effortless to teach and I am beyond proud and so in love with our studio and the amazing clients who attend Sculpt. They have helped create our amazing studio where whoever walks in is welcome and the energy is always infectious. You make waking up at 4.45am an absolute joy!
I'm so excited to welcome you to our studio xx
Lauren
Instructor
I frist tried Pilates for something new and have now been practicing for 6 years. I fell in love with the way it allows you to mindfully connect to your body through breath, concentration and control.
I have always been in love with all forms of movement and am a huge advocate for listening to your body and moving in a way that feels best for you, not only for your physical but also your brain and mental health.
Pilates is for ALL bodies and allows individuals the ability to move in a way that best suits their body in each moment, building functional mobility and enhancing body awareness.

See you in the Studio!
