I have been teaching Body Control Pilates since 2000 and have spent the last 20 years training and teaching to constantly expand my knowledge. This method enables Pilates to be accessible to everyone, from beginners through to advanced students. Regardless of age, ability and specific joint or back problems.
The work is tailored to the individual, so you progress safely and effectively to achieve your goals. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience to help everyone get the best out of their Pilates experience. I teach small, friendly matwork classes in the whole Teignbridge area, from beginners up to advanced level.

Services
I have a number of small, friendly classes running in Teignmouth, Bishopsteignton, Ideford and other surrounding areas. I teach a maximum of 8 clients per class. This enables high quality tuition, individual feedback and current social distancing. The face to face classes work out to 10 a session and Zoom classes, 8. CLasses are payable as a monthly fee.
I teach private one-to-one and two-to-one sessions in my peaceful, fully equipped home studio. I use the highest quality Pilates equipment, manufactured by Balanced Body in the USA. We can use a combination of matwork and machine work to strengthen and balance the body. I have a Pilates Reformer/Tower combination.
I have been doing Sarah's Pilates classes for some years now and would highly recommend them to anyone. Sarah is a brilliant teacher. She models the exercises so well, and explains things clearly. She understands any difficulties which individuals may have, and adapts the exercises in a sensitive way.

Sarah is a great Pilates teacher! She looks after each person in the group sessions as an individual, taking time to understand our needs and adjusting us to ensure we are safe and get the most out of the classes. She has a warmth and welcome. She has truly helped me to find my belly button again! Thank you from Paula Jones

Sarah is an excellent Pilates teacher and I have really enjoyed every session. I have learnt a great deal thanks to Sarah’s brilliant explanations of what we are doing and why. She has the gift of great clarity as well as an abundance of patience, especially with those of us who don’t always know our left from our right! The benefits of Pilates are many - my core strength is improving all the time which in turn means that i have been able to reduce the pain in my lower back and in my shoulders. I row regularly on the river and have noticed a definite improvement in the way that I can power

Sarah is an excellent and highly professional teacher offering tailored and up to date Pilates tuition and with a drive to achieve the best result for each of her clients. I have attended her classes for over 10 years and in that time have seen real benefit in my core strength and posture and in my understanding of how my body works. Pilates has had a hugely positive effect on my body and very quickly enabled me to dispense with the chiropractic sessions I had previously been attending. This is thanks to the high quality tuition and attention I have received from Sarah and I have absolutely no

Sarah is a fantastic teacher. She is friendly and approachable and she really takes the time to learn about her clients and their specific needs with individual sessions before joining a group class. She keeps the classes small so that she can pay attention to all of her students and help them to progress, adapting any movements for any back/knee/shoulder issues. Pilates classes with Sarah have greatly improved my strength and flexibility as well as easing the muscular back pain I was suffering from. Every week she plans a series of exercises to work the whole body and to build up to more challenging

Going to Sarah's classes has, for some years, been a real highlight of the week...even when it meant getting up early on a Saturday morning! Sarah's exceptional warmth and good humour, combined with her experience and expertise, mean that all students feel at home with her. We can all relax and invigorate our minds whilst stretching and toning our bodies. I could not recommend Sarah more highly.

Sarah is a fantastic teacher, very calm, knowledgable and with a Pilates body to die for. I went to her classes in Solihull for many years after a Physiotherapist recommended I go to strengthen my core after being diagnosed with arthritis in my back at the age of 39. It is the only class I have regularly gone to over the years and that is testament to the enjoyable environment and the way she runs her classes. Helen x

I can’t thank Sarah enough for introducing Pilates to both myself and my Niece Joanne. We couldn’t have wished for a better teacher. Sarah teaches with a very friendly manner and gives personal attention to everybody in the class. We have both noticed improvements in flexibility and muscle tone. Sarah also introduced us to ‘Mindfulness’, a buzz word at the moment. It always leaves us feeling so calm and so relaxed. Thank you so much Sarah, we think you are wonderful. Peter & Jo.

I have been going to Sarah for 15 years for both mat work and reformer classes. Sarah is a fantastic teacher and thoroughly lovely lady. I was very fortunate to have found such a conscientious teacher. I shall miss you so much Sarah, but wish you all the happiness in Devon. I am 74 and would not be so fit and supple had I not been to Sarah! Jennie

Sarah is amazing teacher! She is patient and encouraging. Since having both hips replaced in recent years I have found Pilates an ideal way to keep mobile and active. Sarah is very interested and aware of all her students strengths and limitations and her classes have made me more confident and supple. She has also introduced me to Mindfulness which I have begun to practice in my day to day life. Thanks so much.☺️

Sarah is an excellent and most caring teacher. I have been attending her classes for over 4 years and never want to miss a class. Sarah teaches with patience and understanding, catering to each person in the group. She acknowledges personal strengths and advises when working on exercises that are a challenge. Sarah ensures everyone is taking care of their bodies and makes individual corrections to exercises where needed. My love for Pilates has grown and that is thanks to my admirable teacher Sarah.

Sarah is an outstanding teacher. I had previously tried several other teachers and had never understood what Pilates was all about. Discovering Sarah has made a great difference to my general health and fitness and has helped me to recover from back and hip problems. She manages to combine empathy with high expectations. I recommend her without reservation
