Sarah's classes have had an incredible impact! She is an outstanding teacher who really knows her stuff. She has a gentle approach and shows adaptations for whatever level you happen to be. Sarah is an amazing communicator, giving clear directions with examples that really work! I especially love her yoga classes. In fact, I have now been attending regularly for almost two years. My posture is better. My outlook is better, even during a pandemic. And I look forward to every class and its unique blend of time for the body, mind and spirit. I know it sounds like I am exaggerating, but Sarah is simply the best. read more

Sarah is a wonderful teacher and coach! She pushes you in all the right ways to finish classes feeling accomplished and just tired enough!

Somehow this review disappeared so I am reposting: I've been meaning to write this review forever...I first met Sarah Reed in 2018 at the Pilates studio I had been going to for 2 years. She teaches Pilates and Yoga and what makes her such a great instructor is she is very intuitive, and she gets to know her students' (strengths and weaknesses) coupled with her exceptional knowledge of human anatomy. She ensures we are performing the movement, pose correctly and safely. Meanwhile, I do have arthritis in my hips (not uncommon) however I've been using Pilates as an alternative to strengthen my core and build flexibility in my hips solely to avoid surgery. Since the pandemic, I know I have weakened physically, just due to the lack of movement. We have been limited to zoom mat classes, (which I am so grateful for). Sarah has done a really great job with zoom classes because she communicates so clearly, and it is so easy to follow her. She is very focused on our individual physical issues (some of us have knee, hip, shoulder issues, etc.). She runs the class to challenge us, but also takes the time to address whatever limitations any of us may have that day by offering up an alternative pose/ movement/ technique to achieve similar benefits without stressing the area of pain. I love it when she whips out the anatomy book during zoom to show us exactly what muscle is working, what's connected to it and why it may be pulling, just to give us a better view into why our bodies are reacting the way they are. I try to take 3 Pilates and her chair Yoga class every week. There are days when I just don't feel like it, but I force myself and I'm always glad I did! Try her out! Her rates are extremely reasonable! You'll be in good hands... Check out her website: Strawberry-Health.com read more

I've been taking classes with Sarah for a few years now. Recently, she's been teaching on Zoom for the last couple of years, which has been a life saver during the pandemic - and although things are opening up, I'll continue working with Sarah. She is a gifted and talented teacher. She is so intuitive when it comes to giving suggestions for ways to improve the positions and movement. Also, she's just plain fun. Sarah is so encouraging, kind, gentle and inspirational. I highly recommend her. She works with all ages and levels of fitness. Each class is different - I have no idea how she does it! read more

I am very grateful to Sarah for her Zoom "Gentle Flow" yoga classes which have kept me going during this Covid isolation period. Sarah cues the poses, explaining the stretches and the names of the asanas masterfully. I've been away from Yoga for 5 years and am using this time of isolation to re-introduce my body to the benefits of Yoga with Sarah. I complete each session renewed, and I would recommend her classes to anyone, no matter what their level of practice, for Sarah is an articulate, thoughtful guide. read more

I've been doing the "Gentle Yoga Flow" classes via Zoom three days a week with Sarah. She is a terrific coach and instructor! Her explanations are clear, she knows how to work with Zoom so she is always visible, and sets a great pace for gentle yoga. She also makes recommendations to adjust for higher or lower levels, so you can adapt for your own body. These classes are invigorating and inspiring. I feel my body changing every day. Thank you for making your classes available Sarah! You are the best! read more

I love taking classes from Sarah Reed. She is great at giving her students modifications so that they get the workout they really want without hurting themselves. I've heard other students ask her for advice on how to get in certain poses without exasperating an old injury and she was so thoughtful, informative and kind. Taking her gentle yoga classes on Zoom are the only thing getting me thru this shelter in place order! I've also taken her pilates classes and am equally impressed. read more

Sarah Reed is an elegant, whip-smart and intuitive belief-change miracle worker. Yeah, I said miracle worker. She had laser focus when we worked together, and I felt truly seen and heard. She guided me head-on and heart-into clarity regarding the biggest question of my life... what is my true purpose here? Like a momma bird swooping down to feed her young, Sarah gently and directly swooped in and fed my soul with insight into my beliefs and values, my capabilities, my identity and my true mission on this planet. HELLO world! I am forever grateful to Sarah for her sharing HER true purpose and power to guide me toward mine. read more

I started taking yoga and Pilates classes with Sarah several months into the Covid pandemic; it has been such a sanity check during these crazy times, providing both structure and a sense of comradery with classmates. Classes on Zoom are easy and convenient so there is no excuse not to attend and while it may not necessarily be the same as in-person sessions, Sarah makes it just as effective. In Pilates classes, she accomplishes that by vividly describing how the positions or postures should feel and teaching you what muscle groups are activated (sometimes pulling out anatomical drawings!). While that may sound nerdy, she does have a no-nonsense approach that is upbeat, encouraging and very fun. Each week in Pilates, Sarah has a set of routines that focuses on a different part of the body with the long-term goal of building overall body strength. Variety in routines makes each class feel fresh. She pays attention to each person and will correct form. Based on individual constraints, she will offer modifications to routines so as not to exacerbate medical injuries. And she also works with individuals to overcome physical problems. Over the course of a year, I have built up enough core strength so that I no longer have chronic lower back pain. And while my balance has always been horrible, with Sarah showing me proper foot and knee alignment and weight distribution, I see incremental improvement there, too. And with yoga classes, I have learned how to connect breath and body flexibility along with mindfulness. For someone who has avoided the mind/body connection for most her of life, I really can't emphasize enough what a game changer it's been for me to have found someone like Sarah to show me the path. Try a class, you'll be hooked, too! read more

Sarah is truly dynamic! In just one session with her I experienced a powerful shift from a stressful/negative space to a place of self-empowerment. Her methods seem to allow her to be really insightful as she helps you to reconnect with pleasure. In her work she helps you to explore how you can change your beliefs around certain issues in order to help you achieve your desired goals. I found her methods extremely effective because she works to create a synergy between mind and body. After each session I felt a significant mental shift as well as a palpable change in the state of my body. I was able to gracefully move from a state of extreme stress into a state of self-empowerment. She also gave me practical tips and simple daily exercises to continually support my ability to change my beliefs around problematic areas. She made me feel really comfortable, supported, safe, and understood. I think everyone would greatly benefit from working with her! I highly recommend Sarah! read more

I have taken both private and group pilates sessions with Sarah. I love it when she kicks my butt on the Reformer! I am a runner and the workouts she takes me through make my hips feel like butter! I also just had my first massage with Sarah which was awesome as she was able to address imbalances in my body that she spotted during our pilates sessions. I have chronically tight hamstrings and random lower back pain. Sarah taught me the simple trick of rolling the bottom of each foot over a small ball for a few minutes to release the tissues (plantar fascia). Doing so immediately freed up tension in my feet, hamstrings and back, and made my body feel very grounded. I was hooked. I now roll my feet a few times a day, especially before I run in the morning. This one small action has made a HUGE difference! read more

I recently had a one-on-one Pilates session with Sarah and feel inspired to write this review because it was great! I have some serious chronic back pain issues that I've been treating with a combo of massage, pilates, chiro and acupuncture for many years. I've been wary of working with new people because I can flare my injury easily if I'm not careful. Sarah was totally focused on me throughout the session and was adept at correcting my postures and making sure that I did not over extend or injure myself. She asked me insightful and anatomically sound questions that helped me explain my issues and refocus my body awareness to those areas. Pilates is HARD to learn and the breath work that accompanies it is particularly challenging for me. I often get very frustrated when trying to learn a new pilates move while using the proper breath techniques. Sarah used skill and humor to help me with these hurdles and I had a few light bulbs of understanding go off. This is a big deal for me! I felt inspired and motivated after the session and will definitely continue to work with Sarah to improve my Pilates work. read more

Sarah is an exquisitely gifted coach and mentor. She is supportive and at the same time asks just the right questions to stretch me into an expanded level of thinking. The thing I most appreciate about Sarah is her wisdom about how to use both breath and physiology to create the experience and results we want. She brilliantly teaches and coaches with vivid examples and stories. If you are looking for someone to draw out your authentic self-expression and vibrant health, Sarah is the coach for you! read more
