ABOUT TANYA WYATT
Functional movement and rehabilitation specialist
Who I am
Movement has been at the centre of my life for over thirty years. What began as a professional ballet career evolved into work across women’s health, fitness education, counselling and one to one coaching. Through every chapter, my focus has remained the same: helping women move with confidence, strength and ease.
Today, I support women who want to feel steadier on their feet, improve mobility, rebuild strength, navigate menopause or simply move more comfortably in daily life. My approach is calm, practical and personalised to you.
My journey into movement
My twenties were spent as a professional ballet dancer with CAPAB Ballet Company in Cape Town. Ballet taught me discipline, precision and a deep respect for alignment and control.
When I transitioned out of dance, my career shifted naturally into women’s health, fitness and wellness. I worked with clients across different life stages, blending movement, strength work, flexibility training and, later, counselling to support the whole person rather than just the physical routine.
Over the years, this work expanded into teaching, developing programmes, writing and speaking about women’s wellbeing.
Experience and background
Over the past three decades I have:
- worked with women on strength, mobility, posture and functional movement
- supported clients navigating midlife and menopause
- contributed to industry standards and training materials
- served on the Shape Magazine Wellness Advisory Board
- written for Men’s Health, Marie-Claire, Cosmopolitan and Shape
- published two books through New Holland on strength, stretching and movement
- delivered talks, workshops and corporate wellbeing sessions
These experiences have shaped a teaching style that is grounded, realistic and centred on what genuinely helps women feel better in their bodies.
