Hi I’m Sandy, I’m thrilled to be joining the exceptional team of Pilates teachers at Integration Pilates Studio.
I am a long time student of yoga and Pilates and fell in love with equipment Pilates right here at Integration over 20 years ago!
I have been teaching yoga for the past 15 years and was inspired to expand my teaching repertoire to include Pilates from watching many longtime students at this studio move with strength and ease at every age and stage.
I am convinced Pilates is the most comprehensive modality to take us through a good life. From rehabilitation to developing strength and flexibility, Pilates will deliver us to healthy advanced age with grace, and I’m elated to be given the opportunity to guide you in a class towards this goal.

See you at the studio! I can’t wait to meet you.
