Testimonials

Sarah is such a warm and caring person, in addition to being highly knowledgeable and experienced master Pilates instructor. I’ve made several trips from the Bay Area with a friend to her charming studio in the Old Sash Mill, Santa Cruz, for duet sessions, and appreciate Sarah’s carefully designed classes that work the body thoroughly, with special attention to proper form, breathing, alignment and modifications as needed. In addition to a great workout, I’ve learned so much from Sarah about mind-body awareness and self-care. Her studio is within walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz (and lovely restaurants), which adds to the fun factor if you’re traveling from a distance!

Can’t say enough great things about Sarah! Most recently, she really helped me with a knee injury.
Tried a few things for a couple months and just did not have  any improvements until my first appointment with Sarah. She is so thorough and helped to stretch and strengthen my knee. After just under a month it is completely better. In the past, I have seen her for group and individual pilates sessions. Sarah really knows her stuff and can help you look and feel your best ever! Thanks so much for your awesome work, Sarah!

I am a girl of very little attention span.  And yet, I have been seeing Sarah for Pilates training for about 5 years, 2x a week.  Every time it’s something a little different & she keeps me interested & challenged.  Even better, I have better arms than I had at 16 — woo hoo!!!  She’s also crazy smart about the body and can figure out what’s making bits of me unhappy and can get it to release.  I always leave feeling soooooo much better.

Sarah is an amazing Pilates instructor! I’ve taken many different Pilates classes in many different studios and gyms and Sarah is one of my favorite instructors so far. She’s an incredibly friendly and takes that extra time and energy to really know and connect with her students. When I injured my back, she was incredibly helpful in giving me proper cues and giving me advice on how to take care of my injury. She mixes up her classes so that we do different things every time, and she often takes requests from students so that the classes are really personalized.

In addition to being an incredibly sweet person, she is fantastic at Pilates. Often times instructors will simply run through a routine, but Sarah guides students through all the principles and the basics so that you can do things properly and well, insuring that you’re getting the best work out, and that you’re also avoiding any injury that can happen with improper form. Her teaching has really opened me to things I didn’t know about my body and has increased both my strength and flexibility. She is always there to check your form and posture and also to push you when you think you want to give up. I highly recommend taking her classes.
