Testimonials

  • “As a physical therapist I can be a little particular about my instructors in a group fitness setting. I was delighted and impressed with Sara as my Pilates instructor. She was thoroughly aware of her anatomy and her queuing made me understand the complex Pilates movements even deeper in my body. She is a master at setting up the reformer for each body type to ensure the benefits of every exercise. Sara knew when to push me and knew how to help me recover from a lingering hamstring injury. Elegant, kind, genius! Thank you, Sara.”

  • “Sara nurtured me to a more healthful lifestyle. She showed me how to make small tweaks and big changes. She makes the best full of health drinks and baked goods plus amazing dinners that energize! She is a beacon!””

  • “Sara shared the world and mindset of health and wellness with me. She held my hand through all of it, and it made all the difference! Honestly, the process we went through truly helped me to understand, for the first time, that health and wellness is more than a commitment to eating healthy and exercise…It’s an act of self love. It is powerful stuff and I can’t express how much Sara helped me.“”

  • “Sara is, hands down, the best pilates instructor I have ever had. She is conscientious and keeps her focus on the individual needs of her students. She knew exactly what my body needed to be strong and healthy, and she consistently reminded me of my form to get the best results (I needed the reminders :-) Sara’s positive attitude makes her a delight to workout with.””

  • "In the time that Sara was my Pilates instructor, she motivated, challenged, and supported me in my journey toward optimum health. Sara has in-depth knowledge in a variety of areas including fitness, nutrition, exercise, stress management,and the ability to help clients across a continuum of care. Her Pilates classes always suited the individual needs of her students. She’s a skilled and intuitive instructor who understands exactly how to gently challenge her students while restoring the spirit in the best possible way. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend her."

  • "I was not feeling great about my body after menopause and desperately needed to make a change. I am so thankful to Sara for sharing her expert knowledge of Pilates. She really broke down the exercises and made it accessible. After practicing 3 times a week for only a couple months, I began feeling a positive shift in both mind and body. After six months I lost weight (and have kept it off) and feel the best I ever have!"

  • I was a total beginner of Pilates at age 81 when I first met Sara. My concerns were loss of upper body strength and balance. She listened carefully and 30 minutes later I knew she was the one for me. First was her knowledge of body anatomy combined with kindness and encouragement that made me feel terrific. I am indebted to her as a teacher and friend.
