Bend Extend was created from a simple belief: Pilates should feel personal. *

Not every body moves the same way. Not everyone has the same goals. And there shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all approach to movement.

Bend Extend was born from a desire to create a more considered Pilates experience - one where you feel seen, supported and genuinely connected to the way you move.

Hi, I'm Bronte.

I’m the founder and instructor behind Bend Extend.

My approach to Pilates has always been centred around connection - understanding the individual in front of me, creating movement that feels purposeful, and helping people build a stronger relationship with their body.

Over the years, I found myself drawn to working more closely with clients through private sessions. I loved having the time and space to really understand what someone needed, rather than simply moving through a class.

That became the foundation for Bend Extend.

Meet Bronte

Move with intention.

At Bend Extend, we believe good Pilates is about more than simply completing a series of exercises.

It's about understanding how you move, where you need support, where you can be challenged, and how movement can become something you genuinely enjoy.

Every session is thoughtfully considered, with a focus on:

FORM
Understanding your body and moving with intention.

CONNECTION
Creating awareness between breath, body and movement.

STRENGTH
Building strength that supports you in everyday life.

CONFIDENCE
Helping you feel capable, connected and confident in your body.
