Sabrina has been practicing Pilates for over fifteen years.
She began her formal Pilates training as a dancer and
choreographer while studying Laban's Principals of
Movement at The Laban Centre in London, England. Upon
return to the states, Ms. Vaz studied with Mary Bowen.
Mary was one of Joseph Pilates former students and close
associates. At Ms. Bowen's suggestion she went through
a certification course with the Physicalmind Institute
of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shortly after she went through
certification courses with Stott Pilates. However,
Sabrina's knowledge of body conditioning through her
extensive background in dance did not allow her to feel
comfortable with the training methods she went through
with these Pilates based organizations.
Consequently, her quest for further knowledge lead her
to the world's foremost authorities on Joseph Pilates,
his protege, Romana Kryzanowska & Sean P. Gallagher. In
Manhattan, Sabrina studied under the direct successor of
Joe Pilates' famous New York City studio where she
completed 800 hours of apprenticeship. After her
extensive training Sabrina is now committed to keeping
Joe's work pure unlike other types of Pilates only based
on his teaching. Consequently, she only teaches the
authentic method of Pilates in the tradition of
Mr. Pilates New York City studio which she learned
direct from the source.
She began her training in Gyrotonic®
& Gyrokinesis®
in NYC and has traveled throughout the states &
Europe studying with their creator Juliu Horvath.
She is fully certified in both Gyrotonic®
& Gyrokinesis®
and continues her
training with Mr. Horvath. She will be working in
Australia this summer to become a pre-trainer of Gyrokinesis®
Ms, Vaz is also a certified Yoga instructor
and personal trainer.
