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 and now lives with her husband, youngest son, and their dog, while her eldest son has returned to live in the UK. Fitness has always been a big part of Chloe’s life. In her younger years, she enjoyed gymnastics and tap dancing, later transitioning to running and squash. More recently, she has embraced gym fitness classes like HIIT, spin, and circuit training, alongside her love for skiing and tennis. Drawn to fast-paced, high-impact activities, Chloe initially didn’t connect with Pilates, trying it only a handful of times. However, after experiencing persistent aches and pains in her back and shoulders, she began practicing Pilates regularly—and fell in love with it. Not only did her discomfort disappear, but she also felt herself growing stronger with each class. Chloe appreciates the mental benefits Pilates provides, allowing her to focus on movement and breath, offering a refreshing escape from life’s daily demands. Chloe completed her teacher training at Pilates Glow and is now one of our cherished instructors. Her enthusiasm, dedication, and warmth have made her an invaluable part of our community.

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.

Meagan M.

Meagan lives in Larchmont with her husband, their energetic 3-year-old daughter, and their Frenchie dog. After spending five years in Sydney, Australia—and a short stop in Guilford, CT—they’ve settled into life in Westchester. With a background in corporate advertising, Meagan discovered Pilates during a time of transition. Craving something new, she fell in love with the method’s intelligent movement and lasting impact. What started as a complement to her high-intensity workouts became a passion—and ultimately, a new career path. Meagan believes Pilates is for every body. She’s inspired by how it builds strength from the ground up, supports functional movement, and offers endless opportunities to learn and grow. Outside the studio, you’ll find her swimming, gardening, lifting weights, or hopping on the Peloton—always moving, always exploring!

Camila W.

Camila is the dedicated manager of Pilates Glow studio, blending her background in accounting and management with a genuine passion for helping others thrive.

Outside of work, Camila loves experimenting with healthy recipes in the kitchen (even with her sweet tooth) and enjoys relaxing with movies and quality time with friends. Her goal is to make Pilates Glow a welcoming space for all who seek strength, balance, and community.

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.

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.

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.

Linda D.

Linda has been passionate about movement and fitness since childhood. She started as a dancer, and that love for movement eventually led her to teaching fitness classes in 1986. The energy and rhythm of those classes reminded her of the joy she felt while dancing, and she’s been sharing that passion ever since. Alongside her fitness career, Linda has worked as a hairdresser for many years—a profession that can be physically demanding. To keep her body strong and able to meet the demands of both careers, she pursued a Personal Trainer Certification. Wanting to better support her clients, she also became a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), giving her a deeper understanding of how the body moves and heals. As Linda continued exploring different wellness practices, she discovered yoga. Its calming, mindful approach was completely different from the high-energy classes she was used to, and it opened the door to something she would truly fall in love with—Pilates. In Pilates, she found something that she couldn’t find anywhere else—a unique way to connect mind and body while building strength, flexibility, and focus. Linda is a great believer that movement can be healing, empowering, and transformative, and she’s dedicated to sharing this belief with others through her teaching.

Sheryl B.

Sheryl lives in Rye Brook, where she leads a life filled with creativity, mindfulness, and movement. A yoga lover, Sheryl has always been drawn to practices that connect the body and mind. One of her most unique talents is her ability to bring moments to life through live charcoal drawing—capturing the essence of a subject with depth and expression.

Her journey into Pilates began with a desire to move her body as one integrated whole. She wanted to find a practice that combined strength, precision, and clarity—and that's when she discovered Pilates. What started as a curiosity quickly became a deep and transformative connection.

Feeling the powerful effects of Pilates in her own life—both physically and mentally—Sheryl was inspired to go further. She joined the teacher training program with the intention of sharing this passion with others. Her mission is to help people experience the strength, clarity, and empowerment that Pilates brings, guiding them toward a more connected and resilient self.

Noriko M.

Noriko lives in Mamaroneck, New York, having relocated from Tokyo, Japan. With a passion for staying active and creative, she enjoys playing golf and tennis, singing in a choir group, and weaving Nantucket baskets—a craft she is currently studying in a class. Noriko was first drawn to Pilates as a way to manage recurring back pain and strengthen her body. The more she practiced, the more she appreciated the benefits and depth of the work. This inspired her to take the next step and begin her journey as a Pilates teacher. She chose to start her teacher training at Pilates Glow, where she’s excited to build something meaningful and lasting for the long term.
