PILATES
Pilates Nest is a beautifully designed boutique space in Sydney’s Lower North Shore with a genuine nurturing approach to delivering a premium bespoke experience.
A truly welcoming, collaborative, and supportive space, we welcome people at all levels, for all types of movement, including pre and post-natal, rehabilitation, sports training, and for general health and wellbeing.
Pilates works the body across all planes of movement, allowing you to function efficiently and harness the true potential of your body.
Our private and semi-private sessions are tailored specifically to your individual goals and needs, allowing you to get the most out of your practice and gain a better understanding of the principles of Pilates.
Prior to joining the studio, please book your initial 60-minute compulsory assessment designed to get a comprehensive view of your body, health, and fitness goals. Here we’ll ask a few questions to gain an understanding of your background and specific body mechanics, allowing us to build a fully personalised program for you.
“The mind, when housed within a healthy body, possesses a glorious sense of power.”

Yvette is a Diploma qualified Pilates professional with a strong passion for meditative movement. Her goal is to leave her clients feeling great and moving even better.
Yvette has decades of expertise exploring the fundamentals of peak performance, fitness, and functional movement. Having found her true path early on at the age of 19, after experiencing the positive benefits of strength training, the journey into the world of endurance sport and fitness began as an avid professional triathlete.
Realising that she wanted to teach others to maximise their bodies potential too, Yvette became a qualified personal trainer, working full time in boutique fitness studios, honing her technique, and becoming a specialist in the field.
After having children, Yvette discovered Pilates and found a great passion for the practice, and embarking on a new path, she qualified as an instructor and completed her Diploma in Pilates through the internationally recognised Polestar Pilates.
For almost three decades she’s helped support people to move efficiently, becoming a specialised coach across multiple disciplines who delivers real results, and creating a strong following of clients.
With a spring in her step and appreciation for this unique method and transformative practice, she opened Pilates Nest to help clients create sustainable and lasting change, challenging their bodies across multiple planes of motion encompassing a full range of traditional Pilates equipment.

About Su
Meet Su, your guide to movement and strength, who knows the power of a good stretch, and a good laugh. After turning to Pilates to recover from shoulder bursitis, Su quickly fell in love with its power to heal and energise. Now, as a Polestar-certified instructor, Su is here to help you feel your best – on and off the mat.
Before transitioning into Pilates, Su spent her days in the tech world, where stiff shoulders, sore backs, and “tech neck” were a daily reality. Now, she’s focused on helping her clients move better, feel stronger, and enjoy every step of the journey, whether it’s on the Reformer, Cadillac, or mat.
When she’s not in the studio, Su loves swimming, running, lifting weights, and exploring the great outdoors.
