About

At NúnaCo., thoughtful teaching begins by understanding the body in front of you. Every class combines clear instruction with movement that supports everyday life, building strength and confidence for years to come.

No two bodies move the same.

OUR STORY

Why we built it.

At NúnaCo., we believe movement should make everyday life feel easier. It should help you stand taller, move with more confidence and have the strength and mobility to keep doing the things you love for years to come.

That's why we don't chase exhaustion for the sake of it. We teach movement with purpose, helping people understand their bodies, build lasting strength and leave the studio feeling energized, not depleted.

Our goal is to create a place where people can build a lifelong practice that supports them well beyond the studio walls.

OUR APPROACH

Thoughtful teaching.

While every teacher brings their own personality to the room, every class at NúnaCo. is guided by the same principles. Thoughtful movement, clear instruction and genuine care for the people in front of us create a consistent experience, no matter who's teaching.

Everything we do is designed to help you build a movement practice that supports you well beyond the studio, in the way you stand, move and feel every day.

We believe great teaching isn't about performing at the front of the room. It's about seeing the people in it. That's why your teacher moves throughout the studio, offering hands-on adjustments, clear guidance and thoughtful progressions that help you move with greater confidence and ease.

The story behind NúnaCo.

For more than fifteen years, Helga has helped women discover movement that finally made sense for their bodies. What began as a love for barre evolved into a method built around thoughtful programming, intelligent progressions and helping people understand their bodies.

Before returning to Iceland, Helga spent several years in California teaching barre, co-owning one studio and managing another. It was there she experienced the strength of a true studio community and developed the philosophy that would later shape NúnaCo. Returning home, she set out to create a studio where exceptional teaching, consistency and genuine connection mattered just as much as the movement.

Today, Helga leads the studio's teaching philosophy, continues to teach regularly and oversees the development of the Barre Movement Teacher Training, preparing instructors both in Iceland and abroad. NúnaCo. continues to grow, but the intention remains unchanged: to create thoughtful movement experiences that help women move well for life.
