FOUNDER OF SUNFLOWER STUDIO & CERTIFIED PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I’m tamar!
As a certified classical Pilates instructor and professional dancer based on the East Coast, I help my clients strengthen the connection between their body & mind through the practice of Pilates.
I was certified through the Romana’s Pilates Teacher Training Program, a comprehensive and authentic classical Pilates training program handed down directly from Joseph Pilates to Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilate’s protege. Under the mentorship of Master Teacher Trainer and Level X instructor, Cynthia Shipley, I completed over 900 hours of training. Additionally, I have earned multiple continuing education credits with such instructors as Sari Mejia Santos, Romana’s daughter. In addition to teaching at Sunflower Studio, I have worked with a number of Pilates studios in the mid-Atlantic region. When I’m not teaching or performing, I love spending time with my cats, Archer and Zuzu!
Whether you are new to Pilates or a long-time practitioner, I hope to Empower you to connect with your body + mind to feel your most confident, strong, and pain free self.
My Approach
When you work with me, I set you up for success.
every body is different
No two bodies are the same. The beauty of Pilates is that it can be completely tailored to your individual body. Each exercise can be customized to fit your fitness goals, whether you have chronic pain or are an elite athlete. In both private sessions and group classes I will give you the tools that empower you towards feeling your most confident, strong, and pain-free self.
practice on your terms
Consistency is the key to creating a fitness routine and seeing real results. When you work with me we create a fitness plan that you can actually follow. We will work together to find what fits your individual needs and personal schedule. Because all of our classes and sessions are virtual, you can practice Pilates anywhere, anytime!
