Sarah Fournier

Sarah’s interest in sport and fitness began at a very young age. Later on in life, her passion took form as an athlete and as an instructor. In 2000, Sarah was working as a personal trainer at White Oaks Resort and Spa. It was then that she made the decision to specialize in Pilates.

Sarah’s qualifications: 

• Physical Mind Institute Pilates certification in 2000
• CAN FIT PRO certification as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition and Wellness Specialist
• Extensive training through Body Harmonics in Toronto, completed many STOTT PILATES workshops and attended the 2004 Body Mind Spirit Conference in California

In addition to teaching at Yoga by Sarah, she has her own studio called Bodies by Pilates, which she opened in 2003. Sarah has also taught in Bermuda at the Contrology Studio, now known as the Health Co-op, where instructors from around the world come to teach and share knowledge.

Karen Tausenfreund

Karen is passionate about Pilates.

At first Karen gravitated toward Pilates to improve her personal fitness. Through her journey, she learned that the principles of Pilates were fundamental to anyone looking to rehabilitate.

Karen’s qualifications:

• Certified STOTT Pilates mat and reformer instructor
• Physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience

Karen strives to combine her knowledge of Pilates with her expertise as a physiotherapist. Helping clients realize their full physical potential and assisting clients in maximizing their recovery from injury or illness is an ongoing professional goal. Providing the highest level of instruction is important to Karen and for this reason she continues to increase her knowledge in Pilates as well as motor and injury recovery by attending relevant courses and accessing the most recent research findings. Karen is particularly interested in spinal dysfunction and pain.
