Sarah Cook
Lead Instructor
Sarah Cook has been passionately teaching Pilates for 17 years. Sarah was first introduced to Pilates when she attended North Carolina School of the Arts for ballet. She continued to study the technique, also developing an interest in kinesiology, throughout her college years as a dancer at The University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Suffering several injuries in the beginning of her career as professional dancer in Florida, Sarah began to truly realize the amazing value of the Pilates method. With this realization came a strong desire bring the brilliance of Pilates to others; thus she completed her 600 hour certification through Power Pilates. Life allowed moves around the country and also facilitated exposure to many different techniques. Sarah was thrilled to practice pilates throughout three healthy pregnancies, and is a Pre & Post Natal Pilates Specialist through Fusion Pilates. She is the proud mother of three amazing boys and delights (for the most part) in the challenges of motherhood. She strives to find a balance between motherhood, work, and play. Being able to follow her passion, do what she loves, and earn a living are certainly counted as some of her greatest blessings. Although she is classically trained, Sarah appreciates the integration of all knowledge into her repertoire. An eternal student, Sarah continues to find inspiration in the study of the human form; the anatomy of its physical structure, the awareness of the mind, and the ability to simultaneously affect them both. Although always exploring new modalities, Sarah feels strongly that the strength of the classical method, and her training, has allowed her to seamlessly integrate into different studios whether they are classical or contemporary. This versatility gives Sarah a unique voice and a fresh approach. She remains committed to a classical, systematic, integrative approach to Pilates while valuing her experience in the more contemporary Pilates realm. Sarah truly believes in the value and genius of the Pilates method and brings excitement, experience, and energy to every session that she teaches.
