Sarah Martin - Founder/Lead Teacher
Sarah, originally from Connecticut, began her fitness career in 2010 at YogaWorks where she became a Certified Yoga Instructor. Shortly after, she was introduced to Pilates and fell in love. She saw the benefits of Pilates through her pregnancies and in 2014, she received her Pilates certification. Sarah has had the privilege to study with many world-renowned teachers including Blossom Leilani Crawford, Inelia Garcia, Brett Howard, Kathi Ross-Nash and Katie Yip covering extensive and comprehensive work on all apparatus. She continued her education of Scoliosis and Spine Abnormalities with Sonje Mayo, a physical therapist and dancer who worked directly with Joseph Pilates at Martha Graham School in NYC.
​
Sarah founded Pilates Glow in Westchester, New York in 2016 with a clear understanding and ability to execute Classical Pilates focusing on coordination of body, mind and spirit as taught by Joseph Pilates. She believes that Pilates is for everyone, all bodies and all abilities. Her vast and diverse clientele will attest to her technical eye and understanding of anatomy allowing them to reach their best potential.

Chloe A.
Chloe moved to Harrison, NY from the UK in 2010. She lives with her husband, youngest son and their dog, with her eldest son now living back in the UK. Chloe has always been very much into fitness; she did gymnastics and tap dancing in her younger years, then later on Chloe did running and squash, and more recently various fitness classes at the gym such as HIIT, spin and circuit training. She also loves to ski and has started to learn tennis. Chloe has always been drawn to the higher impact, faster paced types of fitness and was never a great fan of pilates, having tried it just a few times. Only in the last year and after suffering from various aches and pains in her back and shoulders, Chloe started doing pilates on a regular basis and totally fell in love with it. Not only does she feel better in her body (her aches and pains have vanished). Chloe also loves that she can feel herself getting stronger each time she takes a class. She's also noticing the mental benefits of doing Pilates in that she can completely switch off from whatever is going on in her life and just concentrate on the movements and breathing in that moment. Now that Chloe is completely converted and loves Pilates, she decided it would be so rewarding to be able to teach it to other people so that they too can enjoy these amazing benefits!

Sarah V.
Sarah started taking Pilates classes at the JCC in Scarsdale in 2002 when she dropped her son off at preschool and there wasn’t enough time to go home and be back in time to pick him up. Over the years she's become increasingly interested in fitness and exercise. Sarah is a member of a gym, works out regularly and takes a number of different classes. Her goto and favorite classes have always been the Pilates classes. Sarah feels her body responds well to Pilates, it’s helped her work on her core strength, flexibility, stamina and balance and in turn many of her aches and pains have been significantly improved. Having taken many Pilates classes over the years and feeling the benefits to her health, mind, body and overall well being, Sarah felt the next step should be to become a Pilates instructor and help other people reap the same benefits she has.

Jessica P.
Jessica is a Westchester native with a serious passion for adventure, food, and a good book. She’s always on the move—whether she’s traveling somewhere new, trying the latest workout class, or hitting her local gym for sculpting, barre, yoga, and cycling. Back in the day, she was a field hockey player and Tae Kwon Do enthusiast, and that active spirit has never left her.
Discovering Pilates has been transformative for Jessica, offering her a unique space to unwind and fully immerse herself in the present moment. Inspired by her experience, she hopes to bring that same sense of relaxation and focus to others through Pilates.

Junko A.
Junko, originally from Japan and now living in Harrison, New York, is making the most of her time in the U.S., exploring everywhere from Hawaii to Niagara Falls. With a love for travel, sightseeing, shopping, and reading, she’s fully embracing her new surroundings.
She began her Pilates journey in Japan, but coming to Pilates Glow NY felt like finding the perfect fit. Junko joined the Pilates mat instructor program to build a deep understanding of mat work, and she quickly discovered a real passion for it. However, her curiosity didn’t stop there—she felt drawn to explore beyond the mat. Eager to expand her skills, Junko decided to train on the reformer, Cadillac, and other classical equipment, each offering a new way to challenge herself and deepen her Pilates journey.

Tami H.
Tami, a California native now living in Harrison, brings her West Coast charm and a laid-back sense of humor wherever she goes. She’s got a few favorite things: her 14-year-old puppy, Rollie, a knack for keeping up with Hollywood gossip, and a healthy love for Amazon Prime.
After over a decade of practicing Bikram Yoga, Tami was ready for something new—and Pilates was it. She’s seen firsthand the incredible transformation Pilates can bring, and now wants to help others discover the same. For Tami, becoming a Pilates teacher felt like destiny, and she’s thrilled to help others feel strong, balanced, and inspired!

In 2003, I began my fitness journey to improve my health and well-being. Over the years, I've worked hard with my personal trainer, Alexander Riviera to develop a strong and healthy physique, and at 52 years old, I'm now in the best shape of my life.
Through dedication, discipline, and a commitment to healthy living, I am achieving my fitness goals and continue to strive for new milestones.
