“My philosophy as a Pilates Instructor is a commitment to the health benefits that the Classical Work of Joseph and Clara Pilates developed, which at the time was called CONTROLOGY. Contrology is the complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. I believe that learning to breathe properly, while strengthening that which is weak encourages uniform development of all muscles. This corrects posture, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit. By following and building on a specific order of exercises, one can, with practice, attain greater overall health, flexibility, strength, balance, coordination and stamina.”
Amy Sayers specializes in teaching the Classical Pilates Method and has been professionally teaching in studios around Santa Fe as well as her home studio since 2004. In 2010, having just recovered from breast cancer treatment, Amy completed her diploma from The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado, (having previously studied with Colleen Glenn, Michele Larrson and Maya Aubrey). She has been trained in over 900 hours from this program that is approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, and long regarded as the Harvard of Pilates Teacher Training Programs. In addition, Amy holds a certification from The Pink Ribbon Program and works as a qualified Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist.
She has also worked as a professional massage therapist since 1989.
Amy’s other interests besides teaching are painting and writing. She currently lives in Santa Fe with her husband, daughter, two dogs and a cat.
