Sara Shay's love of movement began with dance. Trained as a classical ballet dancer, she found Pilates as a means to rehabilitate chronic dance injuries. Originally certified through Madeline Black's Integrated Teacher Training Program (San Francisco, CA) in 2003, Sara moved from California to Washington in 2004 and taught at Balance Within Movement Studio, where she earned a second Pilates certification under the direction of Gail Anderson.

With five years of teaching experience behind her, Sara is excited to be a part of the team of talented instructors at Pilates on 10th. She hopes to continue her education and obtain a degree as a licensed physical therapist.
