Our Team
Hi! I’m Sarah (aka Dr. SAR)
I’m a coffee junkie, cat lady and Star Wars aficionado.
My personality is a cross between Sansa Stark and Emily Dickinson. By day I am the CEO of a non-profit serving special needs youth. By LIFE I am a Pilates and MELT practitioner and teacher of teachers. My mission is spreading the gospel of flexible strength and belief that kindness ought never to be mistaken for weakness.

Hi! I’m Heather
I love Pilates and have been teaching since completing my comprehensive classical training in 2012. Bodies, movement, how bodies move and what they are capable of, has always fascinated me & been at the center of what I do. After 10+ years as a teaching artist in NYC public schools, I decided to pursue my Pilates certification. From 2012 to 2018 I was an instructor and faculty member at Core Pilates NYC. The benefits of a consistent Pilates practice through two pregnancies has lead to my passion for working with this population, and teaching teachers how to. When I’m not in the studio, I can probably be found running around Brooklyn with my two boys - eating pizza, skateboarding (them, not me), and spending countless hours at the playground. When I’m not with my boys I enjoy solo dinners, documentaries about anything, people watching, and a good twirl on the dancefloor.
