Tell us a little bit about you and where your movement journey began.
N: I’ve been a registered Classical Ballet teacher for 15 years. I still teach a lot of Classical Ballet although Pilates has been a huge part of my training as a dancer. Pilates has supported me through all my era’s and I do not see it going anywhere!
S: Before HOUSE OF SCULPT, I was studying Neuroscience and Psychology, and teaching Classical Ballet on the side. Although Pilates has always been a pivotal part of my training as a dancer and has been my main form of exercise in adulthood.

What are some of the highs and lows you've faced as business owners?
From redefining our community’s relationship with their bodies to shipping our SCULPT SETs across the globe and everything in between – the highs are like nothing else. The lows are never truly lows, but more so lessons. Things always take longer than you expect, there are always hiccups along the way and you will be tired. So forever learning to be flexible, patient and hopeful.

What inspired you to launch House of Sculpt?
HOUSE OF SCULPT officially launched in April 2022. We felt the ick big time with the fitness and wellness space. Detox this, dieting that, slim down here, tone up there. Our biggest why behind HOUSE OF SCULPT is changing the lens around why we move. Movement is a privilege and it should be seen that way. Let’s move to feel good and the rest will fall into place.

What can students expect from a House of Sculpt session?
A HOUSE OF SCULPT class is always fun, challenging and creative and will leave you feeling empowered and rewarded. We believe that movement on the mat is the ultimate indulgence and should not be paired with restriction. Our goal is to remind people that you can enjoy all the yumminess life has to offer and still honour your body with confidence.

What inspires you to stay motivated and what are some tips for getting into a balanced and healthy routine?
Having the knowledge that motivation is often the result of action – not the cause of it – is soooo helpful for getting into a balanced and healthy routine. It means that getting started, even in very small ways, is a form of active inspiration that naturally produces momentum. Make sure to start small so that the routine is achievable, write down what you plan to do and reward yourself when you do it! It’s about being kind to yourself and challenging any “all or nothing” attitudes.

What is your favourite way to move your body?
