Natural Balance Centre offers a full Pilates Studio, a cosy Yoga Room, and skilled Therapists in Physiotherapy, Acupuncture & Massage. The centre is the creation of Claire Donoghue, a Physiotherapist & Pilates instructor, & Adam Donoghue, a yoga enthusiast. Claire & Adam have long enjoyed integrating Pilates and Yoga into their daily lives.
“We created the Natural Balance Centre as we are passionate about the results of a combined approach with Pilates, Yoga and Bodywork. We are motivated by the success that we see in teaching people to get the most from their bodies and minds so they can move well, have less pain and keep their bodies functioning at their best to do all the things they want to do in their lives."

"I’d been suffering with chronic back pain for over 3 years and had tried so many therapies which had helped but not really improved my quality of life substantially. I attended weekly classes with Claire for over a year and made progress in so many ways, physically and mentally. I became stronger, had improved balance and symmetry, had greater confidence, was less depressed and above all developed a greater awareness of my body.”- Hilary Bell, UK

Why is 'The Pilates Studio' Hobarts best Pilates experience?
We listen to our clients!
We have a personal approach rather than a blanket approach. We work with you to ensure you are doing the best thing for your desired outcome.
We have very experienced fully accredited staff. We are lucky that four of Hobart's best Pilates teachers have chosen to work here!
We have a great space in an old church that is bright and warm. Clients regularly comment on how the space really adds to their enjoyment.
We offer Physiotherapy screening for Pilates clients. This is particularly important to ensure instructors are aware of things you should avoid and things you need to do more of. As well the Physiotherapist can teach you how to correctly activate your core stability muscles to protect your lower back and strengthen your movement.
We have a fully equipped studio with the best equipment available.
We offer Hobart’s only teaching of the internationally accredited BASI Pilates method, a holistic ‘whole body’ approach. We cater to all levels from complete beginners to advanced athletes. We have clients aged from 15 to 85 years so age is no barrier to improving the functioning of your body.
"Classes are small and we look forward to the weekly sessions, which take place in a well-equipped, bright and cheerful building. It is always spotlessly clean and the staff friendly and welcoming". -Cate (Battery Point)

OUR YOGA ROOM

Why is yoga different at the yoga room?
we have a cosy space dedicated to yoga only! It is quiet, peaceful and offers a unique yoga experience for Hobart.
We understand that life is sometimes busy and its hard to commit to fixed terms. You can come casually whenever you choose or sign up for a black and save money.
We have small classes (maximum of ten), this means more feedback and better group cohesiveness.

Why choose us for Physiotherapy or Massage?
Claire Donoghue is an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist who has specialised in spinal alignment and restoring bio-mechanics of the body. She has a unique approach to recovery through specific movement strengthening and balancing in the body. She is currently Tasmania's only teacher of the 'BASI' Pilates method (a holistic whole body method). She has had much success with many long-term injured clients with her combined Physio-Pilates approach.
"I had a serious back injury 15 years ago and went from surfing every day and being really strong, to not being able to surf at all without
having severe pain for a month. From the time of my injury I got used to having pain all day in my back and down my leg and was on a constant dose of painkillers to do everyday activities. I was told by numerous specialists that I would never do anything physical again,
and that I should accept a pain management plan of medications.
I had tried Pilates for several years with a few different instructors but it wasn’t until I started Pilates at Natural Balance that I really started to get results. I stopped having pain every day with normal activities and started surfing again. I don’t take any pain relief medications any more. My quality of life, confidence and body image have all improved 100%.
I feel that the BASI approach is what has made the difference! -Jack Looby (Bicheno)
