Instructor and Studio Proprietor
Tania Huddart
B. Phil (Hons)
Dip Ballet
Tania came to Pilates training through a career in dance. In the mid-1990s, she started Pilates work with Lesley Ackland at London's BodyMaintenance studio.
"I was captivated by the mind and body connection that Pilates works on. It speaks to me as a person who invests a lot of energy into feeling and staying well."
Tania is certified through New York's PhysicalMind Institute in The Method® Pilates.
She returned to Wellington to form Hearts and Bones in 2002. Between 2003 and 2006 she also provided Pilates services for students at the New Zealand School of Dance, Wellington.
Tania leads private Pilates workouts from her home studio at 21 Hauraki Street, Karori.
Tania also trains Pilates instructors. Until May 2008 Hearts and Bones was a PhysicalMind Institute Certifying Studio.
Hearts and Bones also offers Workshops around New Zealand and the wider region that enable all Pilates instructors, regardless of where they trained, to continue broadening their knowledge.
