Sara Finnerty founded The Pilates Body in 2002 for the purpose of providing the Las Vegas valley a pilates studio solely dedicated to the Authentic Pilates Method. "I am deeply committed to teaching classical Pilates. I've felt in my own body and seen in so many others the effects of this amazing form of movement. Pilates demands that you bring total awareness to its performance, and this awareness brings joy. My great passion is to see peoples' lives transform through this joy."
She enrolled in the Pilates Guild training program, under the direction of Romana Kryzanowska, completing 500 hours of training and observation in the Authentic Pilates Method. Sara has also received a teaching certification from the Michael Miller Training program in Boulder, CO. Sara has had the good fortune to have also studied for two and a half years with Master Teacher Dorothee VandeWalle in Seattle, WA and continues to do so whenever she can.
Sara has been teaching classical Pilates since 1997 and she has owned studios in both Boulder, CO and Seattle, WA. |

Pilates brought her fitness to the next level and she became a certified instructor in 2004 through The Pilates Body 400 hour training program. Michelle is a firm believer that the mental and physical benefits Authentic Pilates offers are unmatched in the fitness world. She has had two children and is stronger than ever.

Trisha Kuptz-Blinkinsop "Pilates is more than a way to get in shape, it has enriched my life in many ways. I now have a strong, flexible, pain-free body and a clearer, more calm mind. The incredible difference I felt in my body and mind inspired me to become certified. I hold certifications from both The Pilates Body Training Program and Stott. I now love to assist people in attaining a level of fitness and awareness they thought was never possible. The results of Authentic Pilates are dramatically different than anything I have previously experienced. I encourage you to explore the possibilities of Pilates". |
