About
Pilates is a movement technique that strengthens all the muscles in the body evenly to achieve balance. It works all the tiny stabilizer muscles to support how the joints are moving. It gives even musculature, and even range of movement of the joints for a long, lean, healthy body.
Sarah’s approach is looking at the body and person as a whole to address whatever pain, tightness, or muscular imbalance they have. She focuses on giving each person a session tailored to what their body needs that day (whether its a tough workout, a more therapeutic session, or a little of both). She is known for her warm, calming nature and attention to detail.
Growing up in Moraga as a serious ballet student, Sarah has always been interested in the intricacies of movement and anatomy. She took her first Pilates class at age 11 and continued to use it as cross conditioning for her ballet training. While attending the prestigious University of Arizona School of Dance, Sarah discovered the Fletcher Pilates work. Connecting with the detail of the Fletcher style and seeing how it helped her through a hip injury (pre and post surgery), she decided to go through the Fletcher Pilates Comprehensive Program.
After completing her Pilates program and BFA in dance, Sarah taught and danced a few years back home in the Bay Area. She then moved to NYC where she deepened her knowledge and honed her skills while working at various studios including Erika Bloom Pilates Plus. She studied scoliosis protocols, pre and post natal, neuro disorders and gait training with NYC master teachers including Irene Dowd, Kuan Hui Chew and Madeline Black.
