FOUNDER
Emma Seibold

Emma Seibold is the founder and creator of Bende and Barre Body, Australia’s first barre and yoga fusion technique. Barre Body has flourished since its inception in 2012, with studios across Australia, a thriving global online platform, world-class teacher training programs, and a cult following.

Based in Byron Bay with her husband and business partner, Matt, and their two beautiful children, Xavier and Isla, Emma is one of Australia’s most sought-after wellness entrepreneurs and a regular contributor to Vogue. Find her on the schedule at Bende, and you’ll be in for a treat with the most gorgeous Savasana at the end of class. The yogi in her can’t help it.

Emma has been waiting patiently for the perfect space to bring the best of Pilates, barre, reformer and yoga to Byron Bay, and here it is. We’re ready to move with you.

GIVING BACK

We believe in giving generously to causes that make a true difference in the world.

Through Barre Body and Bende, we are long-time supporters of One Girl, proudly funding the education of 50 girls in Sierra Leone. In 2016-2017 we also made a $15,000 donation to the Syria appeal via UN Women.
