Learning about rehabilitation and how the body can heal through movement became such a strong interest that she decided to pursue her new journey and become a qualified Polestar Pilates Practitioner.

“Best Pilates studio I’ve ever been to! I really love the care and support the girls offer, it feels like going home to family � the energy Sarah has created is very welcoming and I’d highly recommend this studio for those looking to get into Pilates who may be unsure if they can do it or not. The girls encourage you at your own level and work around any injuries you might have. �”
