Susan, advertising executive:
"Working with Sharon has increased
the quality of my life. Pilates has enabled me to heal injuries way beyond what medical professionals and physical therapists
were able to achieve. It allowed me to regain my range of motion and improve both strength and flexibility. I never imagined
such dramatic results."
Sara, sales manager, mountain biker, runner, hiker:
"The benefits of taking Pilates with
Sharon for over 2 years now have been incredible for me! Pilates has not only elongated my muscles, but it has also developed
my core strength making my posture better and my back feel better. Above all, I am constantly surprised with the level of
physical activity I can now maintain with mountain biking, running and hiking. Sharon is the perfect instructor. She's encouraging,
patient, and she understands that each student has a different body with different abilities. She'll sculpt each lesson perfectly
for you, so that you can achieve your own Pilates Body."
Linda, technical support specialist, equestrian:
"Your
Pilates instruction has provided me with a way to cope with my very painful arthritic hip. My chiropractor has commented
several times about how Pilates has made the adjustments I always need easier to apply and they seem to "last," allowing for
longer periods between visits."
Lorna, ballet teacher, technical writer:
"Finding strength within the core enhances
the long lines and extensions of the body that are the essence of ballet. Sharon's Pilates instruction has helped me foster
this art form and teach ballet in a safe and effective manner to my students. Sharon is far better than other Pilates instructors
I've had. She is truly the best because of her imaginative cueing, excellent command of anatomy and motion, gentle manner,
and personal knowledge of many dance forms."
Susan, sales manager, singer:
"I love the way my body looks and feels
after almost two years of Pilates. I've lost weight, trimmed down my thighs, and am stronger than ever before. But I would
never have stuck with it if it weren't for Sharon's outstanding teaching ability. Sharon is organized, clear, and helpful.
Her explanations create clear visual images of the action needed, and she has many ways to say the same thing in case the
first description didn't work for everyone. She has a great sense of humor (and sense of the ridiculous). She's positive
and encouraging, but never pushy or saccharine. I come back because I know I'll spend an enjoyable hour with someone who
cares about me and my body, and I'll feel better when I leave."
Mike, programmer, tennis player:
"Just a note to
say thanks for all you do. After more than a year of instruction from you I know Pilates provides a great 'baseline' for
muscle tone and overall flexibility of movement. Thanks for being such a good sport, as well as a very fine instructor!"
Debbie, retired newspaper librarian, piano student, hiker, fitness walker, and gym enthusiast:
"I have been taking
Pilates with Sharon for over a year. Aside from deriving a general feeling of well being from Pilates, I find I've become
much less susceptible to injuries when I increase the duration and intensity of my other workouts. I can also spend two hours
or more per day at the piano bench without a backache."
Gregory, product manager, singer:
"From studying Pilates
with Sharon, I noticed that during three-hour chorus rehearsals I was much less fatigued from sitting up straight and forward
on the chair (which is required for good vocal support)."
Alexis, customer service specialist, knitter:
"The work
we do in Sharon's Pilates class has greatly improved both my form and posture while weight training and running. The attention
she pays to breathing has also been extremely helpful—it seems silly to forget to breathe, but I often do. And my abs look
fabulous!"
Pam, marketing manager, equestrian:
"Pilates improved my riding dramatically, almost from the first session.
Developing greater core strength allows me to use my leg and seat aids much more effectively. I am so happy with the results—and
my horse is happy too!"
Don, computer operations manager, runner:
"I started studying Pilates with Sharon hoping
to keep what little core strength and flexibility I had left in my 60-year-old body. To my amazement and pleasure I am steadily
gaining in both!"
Paula, customer service specialist, avid gardener, quilter:
"The first time I went kayaking everyone
was amazed at my ability; working from my core gave me the strength I needed to kayak with ease and grace."
