What Students are Saying

“I have been with Sarah for about 4 years.  She was initially my Pilates instructor but it didn’t take long before I was introduced to the many other sides of Sarah and all that she has to offer. 

Sarah is one of only a handful of folks I know that has an in-depth, complete understanding of ALL facets of the body and the all-important connection it has with the mind.  She is incredible with problem-solving and brings all her knowledge to bear in addressing any and all types of issues.

Sarah got me through COVID with her ZOOM classes, and has given me proper posture, a flexible spine, increased strength, much improved balance, and a body that moves efficiently and comfortably.  I will continue to work with her as I make my way through life.  She brings hope, comfort, and the opportunity to age beautifully.  Did I mention how much fun she is?  Sarah is the BEST!”

There’s no way to describe the incredible journey of healing and emotional transformation I’ve experienced.  It’s been enlightening and dare I say MAGICAL!

I came to Sarah five years ago for MFR treatments and Pilates.  At 62 years old I couldn’t walk two blocks without hip and back pain that sent me straight home.  My only goal was to be able to walk on the beach one day without pain.  That goal was reached and surpassed long ago.  I have no hip pain and only the occasional back pain.  No more drugs!   I’m strong and most importantly Sarah has given me tools for self-treatment!  

I’m on a new and exciting path with Sarah’s online program. One where the body and mind work together to bring me healing both physically and emotionally.  The insights have been transformational.   Sarah is compassionate, insightful, kind, and funny!  There’s no other way to say it, she changed my life.

“Before taking Sarah’s online program, I struggled with really understanding deep core, and how to effectively use it in my Pilates and throughout my day. When Sarah mentioned the online program, I hesitated as I’ve tried so many other things, however, I knew it would be amazing, as she is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and can explain it in ways that are easy to understand. I went in with the goal of beginning to understand my body better but I got so much more out of it. I began to fully be able to engage my deep core, and I’m excited to build from here. I have videos now that I will incorporate into my workout routine and can access them when it is convenient for me. I also learned that self-care is extremely important, and learned how to reduce my stress. I’m so glad I took a leap and dove into this class with Sarah. She is such a genuine person and truly cares about her clients.”

“Sarah and her knowledge of MFR has been and continues to be a turning point in treating my chronic back pain. I'm not only healing physically, but also emotionally and mentally. Our MFR sessions are helping me to move more freely again, accomplish goals and set new ones! Sarah truly wants to help heal my hurting. “

“I have always been an active person. In the summers I’m often mountain biking or hiking and in the winters, I’m skiing as much as possible. However, one morning in December, I woke up with so much pain in my left knee that I knew my body was signaling something was wrong. I tried everything I could think of to help the ache in my knee with no success. Frustrated and concerned that I was dealing with something much more serious than I initially anticipated, I went to Sarah for treatment. Sarah used a combination of myofascial release and Pilates to help address my pain while also providing tools to help my body get back in alignment. She was attentive, compassionate, and detail-oriented. She helped me so much over the course of 3 weeks that I was able to go on a ten-day ski trip where I felt NO PAIN. I would recommend Sarah to anyone seeking someone who can provide a holistic approach to pain management.”

“My wife and I have been attending Pilates with Sarah for over a year. We are in our 60's and 70's respectively and therefore we are not there to "work up a sweat". Maintaining our overall flexibility and balance is important to us. Sarah plans in advance the focus of each class, but the first thing she does at every class is to ask us "how are your bodies today". She has the knowledge and experience to reach into her bag of multi-discipline techniques and pull out just the right tools based on our needs. Sarah makes each class meaningful because she cares about her clients and her sense of humor means we have fun too. It doesn't get better than that.”

“Strength, flexibility, and balance are attributes I have gained as I have worked with Sarah Blanton for over the 7 years, she has been my instructor. I hate to think where I would be in my mobility if it were not for her. I am over 60 and have a bum knee. Sarah not only respects where I am with my knee but builds up my muscles and makes me stronger. She designs her workouts for her clients and is always checking in with how our bodies are doing and what we need. I always feel better and stronger after class and even though I might be sore, it is a good sore. I am a great deal more confident in my balance and strength as I move through my active lifestyle. I am so thankful for her knowledge and insights into the human body and how it can move.”

It's hard to imagine what my body would be like without Pilates. I had no idea that I had a core, or that my core could be strengthened until I started Pilates classes six years ago with Sarah Blanton. With specific movements designed for me, and an instructor that takes my personal health and well-being to heart, I feel stronger, healthier and my mobility has increased substantially. The other piece that has added to the overall Pilates experience is being taught how to breathe properly. The controlled deep breaths in and full exhale out has not only served me well while exercising but has spilled over to times when I feel stressed or need a little refresh for my body and mind. Now, one would think that would be a natural occurrence and it is for the most part, however, the breathing that you do at Pilates is paired with the movements and it's the total package. Sarah has been instrumental in keeping not only my core strengthened, but also making sure that each muscle group is exercised in a different way. She adds moves that help me avoid slips, trips and falls by working on my balance; that is important as one grows older. Sarah is extremely gifted when it comes to arranging different movements that challenge my physical body and also my mental capabilities as well. I know I am in great hands with Sarah Blanton as my Pilates instructor and thankful for her encouragement, positive instruction, and compassion. She also has a wonderful sense of humor which makes her classes so much fun!
