Alex Masters
Pilates | Barre
I love teaching high-energy, fun and challenging classes with a focus on technique and alignment. I found Pilates after having my son 9 years ago and I loved the practice so much that I became a Pilates and Barre teacher and a Studio Owner with a passion to provide a safe space for other's to fall in love with movement too.
Amanda O'Dempsey
Pilates | Yoga | Barre
I grew up in GC, and I am a true ocean lover, fun-spirited and creative soul. As a mother of two boys, I love living a life full of zest. I have delved deep into creating a life full of love, joy, and happiness. Yoga has been a big part of that journey! I have completed internationally recognized training as a yoga and mediation teacher. I am on a mission to share the many benefits that yoga brings. I love empowering others on their own path to happiness, health, and all good vibrations.
Charlotte Brignone
Yoga | Yin | Pilates | Barre
I lived in Paris until was 21. After I finished my uni degree in archeology, I left to travel and experience the world. Eventually, I ended up in Australia. I started practicing yoga when I was traveling and fell in love with it. It made me feel so good and I wanted to share this magic with everyone. That's when I started to think that teaching yoga was the right path for me. I love sharing the teaching of yoga and there is nothing more rewarding than supporting students in their practice and through their life journeys.
Natalie Hughes
Yoga | Yin | Pilates | Barre
I believe everyone needs these practices in their lives and has something truly magic and transformative to gain from both of them. I turned to pilates many years ago when I suffered from chronic back pain and it didn’t take long before I found full relief and so much more! I fell in love with the new lease of confidence and strength Pilates gave me. Not long after I also turned to yoga to support me through some of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in my life. I immediately new this was something I needed to share with the rest of the world. These practices are a big part of my life and why I’m so passionate about sharing them in a way that can accessible for anyone, no matter what part of you're journey your on.

Margaret Bretag
Yoga | Yin | Stretch
I have always prioritised health and fitness; and yoga has always been my way of maintaining flexibility and strength. Apart from obvious health benefits, my ongoing practice and teaching journey has been a humbling and inspiring experience.
I want to share the magic of yoga with others, no matter their shape, size, fitness level or mindset. Like all of our classes, it’s a non-judgemental, safe and friendly environment and I would love for you to join me on the mat.

Bree McDonald

I am 24 and as well as teaching Pilates and Barre, I'm a high school teacher on the Gold Coast. I love Balance lane and have been a founding member since the space opened in 2021. In 2023, I made the leap into becoming an instructor and have taught at Balance Lane ever since. I enjoy making connections with people around me and have found the transition into Pilates teaching to be so rewarding. Come along to any of my classes and be sure to feel encouraged to work hard (while also indulging in a well-earned relaxation at the end!)
