A place for you to work on your self
welcome to the Crane!
The hour you spend working with me in one-on-one or small group sessions is an opportunity for personal growth beyond the physical work. Yes, physical stuff is addressed and focused on, and what I offer is also a period of time and space for reverence and self-reflection, to feel good, to assess where you are at, to feel seen and heard.
what to expect
At The Crane, we teach movement sessions to the whole person, and continue to stay up to date and fresh on exercise science and protocols.
Introduction sessions will involve taking a quick look at how you move, what injuries you have, and what your goals are. We move and try to have fun.
Clients are welcomed into an encouraging atmosphere of investigation and exploration. The expectation is for you to gain autonomy and confidence in movement.
Pilates is a mind-body movement practice that integrates conscious breath and movement. At The Crane, we focus on centering the mind in order to become grounded, so that exercises produce higher benefits. Sarah Beth teaches through a progressive approach of Pilates based movement.
MAT VERSUS EQUIPMENT?
Equipment is fun. Mat work is challenging. And vice versa. Both strategies provide opportunities for growth and movement.
The Pilates Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel are designed to give your body feedback and resistance so you can better understand how you move your body in space. My role is to guide and provide specific, hands on feedback as well, so that your session is bolstered with knowledge and care.
If you have any questions about whether starting a Pilates practice is the right thing for you, please feel free to email or call and I will answer any questions and concerns as fully as possible. I love questions!
FAQs
is pilates safe for pregnancy and after child birth?
Pilates is especially great for conditioning for childbirth; giving the expectant mother strength to perform one of the most challenging physical feats of life. Working after delivery, once cleared from your doctor, is a time that provides great opportunity for restructuring old habits and getting strong for the demands of parenting

Sessions can be on zoom, in person at my home studio, or at the clients home.
