Tamsyn discovered her passion for Pilates during her early dance training in 1999 whilst studying at the London Contemporary Dance School and has since seamlessly integrated its principles throughout her career as a professional dancer and dance teacher.


Following certification in Barre training in 2016, Tamsyn founded Port de Barre, a ballet-based fitness and wellness company offering online and studio barre classes, as well as corporate wellness masterclasses, events and retreats.

Having recently completed the Polestar Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training, which encompasses all Pilates equipment, Tamsyn now teaches both 1-2-1 and group mat and equipment sessions, specialising in rehabilitation and recovery.

In her studio reformer teaching, Tamsyn draws on her extensive experience in dance and Pilates practice. Her classes combine classical Pilates principles with dynamic alignment, designed to enhance functional strength, posture, core stability and control.
