PILATES

Pilates' focus is on alignment, a strong core, and precise, controlled, flowing movements. Pilates is a remarkable fitness method developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. Pilates is empowering. It increases body awareness and demands mental strength, patience, and concentration. It teaches you to be in tune with your body’s strengths and weaknesses, which can change daily. 

I bring enthusiasm, technical focus and fluid choreography to my inspiring and challenging Pilates classes. I have used Pilates personally for years to maintain my body condition and postural awareness, which has been integral to the prevention of injury during my earlier dance years.

BARRE BODY

Barre Body is a complete body workout fusing ballet barre conditioning, yoga and pilates.Signature Barre Body, Barre Moves, Barre Cardio and Barre Tone classes are designed to tone your entire body, creating longer, leaner muscles. Ballet & pilates exercises at the barre and on the mat tone your muscles, while complementary yoga postures lengthen and shape your muscles (think long & lean like a ballet dancer!) 

My classes are challenging and rewarding. I like to give my clients a balance between working in great form and making sure they still work up a sweat. It's also important to have fun and feel like a ballerina!

Dance has played an important part in Sarah’s life from an early age and she knows the benefits of hard work and physical challenge. Sarah is trained in Classical and Contemporary dance and at tertiary level gained her Bachelor of Dance from the Victorian College of the Arts.
