Contemporary Therapeutic Pilates
Our Studio Australia Barcelona Pilates Philosophy
Your program at Studio Australia Barcelona begins with a one on one 1 hour private session with owner and Pilates master Natalia Laing.
During this introductory session you will be introduced to the Studio Australia Barcelona method of Pilates. Our method can best be described as contemporary therapeutic and your Pilates instructors are all senior Pilates professionals with their own substantial repertoire of exercises that use either mat or equipment.
Since Joseph Pilates developed his method in the early 20th century there have been generations of Pilates teachers and health professionals who have adapted and modified this intelligent form of exercise to suit their own training and rehabilitation techniques for their clients.
With more than 24 years of experience as a Pilates professional Natalia Laing has done the same.
Your introductory session
When you have your introductory session with Natalia she will do a postural assessment on your body and discuss with you your history and speak about any injuries or concerns you may have. She will also ask what you would like most to achieve from practicing Pilates.
In the session she will stretch and work with your body to understand how your skeletal, myofascial and muscular systems are working. She will also teach you her technique of breathing and you will learn about the fundamentals of how to use your pelvic floor muscles and abdominals.
Following your introductory session we will develop a tailored program to suit your needs including the times of your sessions and how many times a week you would like to come to your classes and any other complementary health treatments you might need. In the studio we offer a choice of private or studio sessions and in every class you will be doing your own program.
It doesn’t matter your age or fitness level we can create a program to suit you and achieve your goals!
Improving health and physical well being
Pilates is a unique form of physical therapy that can improve your health and physical well being by toning, increasing flexibility, building core strength, strengthening muscles and rehabilitating with exercises that specifically teach awareness of breath, body, posture and alignment of the spine. It is also a great way to relieve mental stress.
We make it our mission at Studio Australia Barcelona to create an oasis for your body.
Our team believes in supporting each client so they may balance work, life and family demands and at the same time care for their body so they may live a disease and pain free longer life.
Private Sessions
Private Pilates session with the focus on you
Every session is tailored to how you feel on the day. Whether you need a good stretch out and manual release of your muscles by your Pilates therapist, want to work on specific areas of your body to repair, if you are pregnant, or you would prefer to do a hard workout and break a sweat we will adapt the session to suit you.
It’s a perfect treat for everyone.
Many of our clients choose to do private sessions because they prefer the full direction, attention and correction of the instructor while practicing their Pilates.
However it is not unusual for some of our clients to combine private and studio sessions as they believe they get the best results with both types of sessions.
If you have specific problems or need personal attention we recommend that you take private Pilates sessions as it gives us the time to concentrate solely on your body and adapt the exercises and stretches to suit your needs.

“Having had multiple surgery on my spine I know I need to dedicate myself to getting stronger. As an ex dancer I knew I wanted to do Pilates but I had still to find a place that was not scared of putting me into action and even further, knew how to do it. Nat and Mandy are beautiful souls enlightened with expert knowledge on the body. I continue to do physio at another centre in Barcelona, another gem, and I try to go to Pilates twice a week. I have never felt so positive about contributing to my own future. Nat and I have been working together towards a positive outlook and a strong body. A huge sense of relief to find a physical and emotional space where I can work against my challenges and relax in the support that is provided. Thank you!”

It is the best place to do Pilates in Barcelona. The quality is exceptional and they adjust the sessions and programs that one needs - in the long term and short, day to day. When you arrive you are asking yourself how you are and what you need to do. They take care of you. And the body shows it!

A few months after having undergone a mastectomy because of breast cancer, I met a friend who had gone through the same thing and having the similar treatment of drugs against cancer that produces side effects such as fatigue, joint pain, camps, she recommended the Studio Australia... I was weak physically and emotionally, after each session I felt better, little by little I was recovering energy. Studio Australia has been and is a very important part in my recovery I encourage women who go through my same situation to try the experience.

My Reiki and Pilates sessions with Natalia where key in helping me cope and beat my breast cancer. I was new to the studio and the moment I walked in, I instinctively just knew that “they had my back” and would help me through it and they did!

Studio Australia Barcelona is a wonderful Pilates and wellness space. After developing a disc injury years ago they have helped me get fit again without hurting my back and improving it considerably. They take very special care to adapt all the routines to my particular ailments and offer additional support through their team of practitioners. I have rarely seen the level of expertise I have found at Studio Australia Barcelona. And they do it all in a beautiful and peaceful studio. No doubt my weekly Pilates class is one of my favourite times of the week!

Chronic severe back pain motivated my first visits to Studio Australia Barcelona. Subsequent visits for Pilates classes and exercises have helped me to compensate for the imbalances of a professional life spent between walking in the mountains and fine dining, and to manage the niggles of advancing middle age. The personalised attention, support and encouragement at Studio Australia Barcelona is so positive that it is difficult to conceive of not being a client for life there.

I admit, I never thought Pilates would be for me, but since I started 3 years ago it has become an essential part of my exercise routine. Little niggles caused by running are no more and I'm much stronger. Apart from the physical benefits, Studio Australia Barcelona has become a sanctuary for me, it doesn't matter how tired and glum I might be feeling when I get there, I always come out with a smile on my face and feeling much better than when I went in. It's a great place. They've totally hit the mark.

I had a very serious accident a couple of years ago. I came to Studio Australia with my legs in full braces and on crutches, not sure if I'd walk again. Needless to say the wonderful team at Studio Australia worked tirelessly to get my strength back (both physically and mentally) through Pilates and physical therapy. I am back on my feet and walking up to 10km a day. Not only are they damn good at what they do, but they are fun, caring, and just good people.

Studio Australia is a beautiful boutique Pilates studio in the heart of Barcelona. Natalia, Mandy and their lovely team not only make sure to tone and strengthen your body but make you feel great the moment you walk in. So glad I found this spot. It changed my life.

I adore Studio Australia Barcelona. It is a soulful space where you can work out or experience therapeutic treatments in the hands of truly special and gifted practitioners. When I first approached Studio Australia Barcelona, I was very unwell and suffering from chronic pain. My time at the Studio was very empowering as the practitioners pass on knowledge and experience that you can carry with you when you leave the door…. I love the place, it is a nurturing oasis in the center of Barcelona. Mandy, Natalia and their entire team genuinely care and it is very obvious from how they approach each and every individual.

I suffer from hip injuries that caused me on going issues. Mandy was so helpful in organising instant relief through massage and then I spent time with Natalia working on a Pilates program that would strengthen my body to reduce the impact of our travels on my injuries. The team are all so lovely and professional. It was like spending time with friends than working out. Thanks Studio Australia Barcelona.

One of the best places to practice Pilates in Barcelona, with a unique atmosphere and high-level professionals.

I could describe Studio Oz as a blissful vortex, every detail from the colour on the wall, the flowers in the vase, the music overhead (jazz or classical depending on the day) to the most important part - the instructors is executed with such immense care and detail. Coming from a history of chronic back issues, I’m always nervous when taking on new forms of exercise, with the ladies at Oz, I feel completely confident my history is taken into account every step of the way, the most amazing part is that after a few Pilates sessions I felt my back getting stronger...

I have changed my life! Both: The Pilates routine that took almost a year practicing at the centre; for the trip to the world DETOX, where I have been taught the guidelines for eating better. I absolutely recommend it, because from the first day the experience is amazing, and the whole team make you feel at home!!
