About Us

Our studio

Pause Pilates is located on private acreage on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, surrounded by open space and natural greenery. The outdoor studio has been thoughtfully designed to feel calm, refined and welcoming. We offer a place to step away from your busy schedule and move with intention.

Our studio offers contemporary mat-based Pilates classes that incorporate dynamic, strength-based training alongside specialised pre and postnatal sessions. In partnership with Goanna Hill Labradoodles, Pause Pilates also hosts Puppy Pilates, a unique experience combining guided movement with puppy play to warm the body and soul.

Our instructor

Brooke Halloway is a qualified medical doctor with a combined nine years of university study and clinical training in medicine. Her academic foundation, together with hands-on hospital experience, provides her with a deep understanding of anatomy, biomechanics and evidence-based practice — knowledge she thoughtfully integrates into her work as a Pilates instructor.

As a mother, Brooke has developed a particular interest in pre and postnatal wellness. She understands firsthand the physical and emotional shifts that accompany pregnancy and early motherhood, and is passionate about helping women feel supported, strong and confident during this transformative stage. Her sessions focus on rebuilding core strength, enhancing stability and creating space for women to reconnect with their bodies in a safe and empowering way.

Brooke’s teaching style blends precision with warmth, offering contemporary, strength-based Pilates in an environment that feels welcoming and inclusive. She works with clients at all stages of life — from busy professionals to new mothers — who are seeking a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach to movement.
