About Sarah
Sarah is a third generation teacher and devotee of the Classical Pilates method of movement. She discovered her extraordinary passion for Pilates in her early twenties, when she found that after just one Pilates session, she felt stronger, energized and more deeply connected to her body than she ever had with other forms of exercise. Finding (Classical) Pilates changed Sarah’s life in some of the most unimaginable ways and so she followed her heart and opened the first and only full-service Classical Pilates studio, Pilates on 8th, in the small town community she adored so much.
Initially, Sarah completed over 600 hours of extensive training in the Classical Pilates method at Urban Front Pilates, a Power Pilates regional training center in Philadelphia, PA. Upon completion of that program, and with a desire to further deepen her knowledge of the work, she was proudly accepted into the Real Pilates teacher training program. Under the direction of Alycea Ungaro, second generation teacher and Classical Pilates method pioneer, Sarah studied the original system, as handed down, by Joseph Pilates.
Today, she continues to immerse herself in all things Pilates and is continually attending movement based workshops in addition to taking weekly lessons and classes with Katie Yip, one of the industries most sought after teachers.
Regardless of fitness level, age or injury, she aspires to showcase that Pilates isn’t just for any body, it is for EVERY body. Sarah’s genuine dedication and commitment to the Pilates method can be felt in every unique lesson and class she teaches.
