I’m Sara and I’d like to say I have always been a sporty person, but I wasn’t!
I practiced many different sports, but no one of them caught my passion for a long time. The only one I practiced for more than a few months was artistic gymnastics, but, as soon as I started at agonistic level, an injury stopped me. My story could have been different if having a Pilates teacher and a gym like Improving You to support me in my physiotherapy…

In Italy I was a recruiter, went sometimes to the gym and tried Pilates to relieve my cervical spine after long hours sitting at the office in 2010.
Surprise! I loved it at once and since then I never stopped.
Just now I can understand why I loved both artistic gymnastics and Pilates from the beginning. They have in common the same principles and values: whole body movement, concentration, control, precision, balance, harmony, continuous education and improvements and I could go on forever.

 

When, some years later, I followed the love of my life in the Netherlands and had to change my career, I remembered what my teacher told me during my first lesson: “It looks like you were born
for Pilates.”

If I worked in HR because I always liked to do good to people, and I did it finding them a job, then I
could do it for their bodies, mind, health and souls teaching Pilates!

For now I got two certificates: one in the Italian M2O Pilates Method by Margherita Miralli, NCPT Trainer, and one in the international BASI Pilates Method.
The M2O Pilates Method is a more contemporary approach including the original Pilates exercises, the fab 34, passing through physiological and functional movements, pre-Pilates exercises, breath patterns and myofascial work, willing to lead changes in posture and day-by-day life, while BASI Pilates is a world-renowned approach, preserving the classical repertoire and the essence of Pilates’s philosophy but including innovations produced by scientific developments and evolution of the method, willing to lead to a stronger body.

I am now a Pilates teacher whose lessons are holistic and different each week, but always with a balanced approach and focused attention to detail. I tailor them to my students’ needs, respecting their differences, to exercise and improve in the safest way. Each person is unique for me, but I want all those attending my classes, at all level, to feel supported in their Pilates journey, taller, stronger and self-confident, in a word: I want all of them to feel well.
