Certified ITT Comprehensive Pilates Instructor, 2012
Sarah Waslohn
CO-OWNER & PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Sarah’s approach to Pilates is grounded in anatomy, functional movement, and individualized instruction. She began her movement career as a dancer and choreographer, earning a BA in Dance with honors from San Francisco State University in 2010. She completed Pilates Integrated Teacher Training at A Body of Work in San Francisco in 2011, where she developed a strong foundation in working with diverse bodies and abilities.
Sarah believes Pilates is more than performing a series of exercises—it’s a way to develop strength, mobility, coordination, and body awareness that can support everyday movement and quality of life. Her teaching draws from her extensive background in dance, Pilates, yoga, and anatomy, with an emphasis on thoughtful, accessible movement tailored to each client.
She has experience working with a wide range of conditions and life stages, including osteopenia and osteoporosis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, disc herniations, pelvic floor dysfunction, joint replacements, shoulder dysfunction, pre- and post-partum clients, and clients recovering from breast cancer surgery.
Sarah regularly pursues continuing education in specialized areas of Pilates and movement. Her studies have included size-inclusive Pilates, pelvic floor health, fascia and connective tissue, cueing, upper-limb integration, and spinal, sacral, pelvic, and shoulder conditions. She has completed workshops with teachers including Claudia Moose, Madeline Black, Kobi Jack, Basi Pilates, and Jean Sullivan, among others.
As the founder of Luna Sol Pilates Studio, Sarah is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where Pilates can be adapted to meet a wide range of bodies, experiences, and goals. Her teaching incorporates body-neutral and trauma-sensitive practices alongside a practical, movement-focused approach.
“Sarah has talent, training, and empathy. Whether you are in the best shape of your life or someone recovering from injury or any place in between, Sarah will offer you careful instruction and inspiration. She is one of the best trained teachers I have encountered in many years of taking movement and exercise classes and she is definitely my favorite!”
“Degenerative arthritis was taking its toll. I was unable to walk a block without severe back pain. To prevent it from getting worse I had to find a way to keep moving (words of the neurosurgeon).
The recommendation was to try Pilates while waiting for a scheduled nerve block. On the recommendation of a friend I began sessions twice a week with Sarah.
Following the third session, I steadily began to experience less pain and was able to gradually increase my activity.
My current situation shows the transformation: I now walk pain-free one hour each day and continue to take Pilates twice a week. Needless to say, the nerve block was cancelled.
I can’t put a price on this!”
“I never knew what Pilates exercise was until a friend told me about it. I have had both a shoulder replacement as well as two knee surgeries throughout the years. Sarah and her knowledge and expertise has changed my life.”
