Sarah Shell
From touring the world as a professional dancer, to becoming Taylor Swift's former private Pilates instructor, Sarah Shell has combined the two worlds into a hybrid method that keeps things fun, fresh, and challenging!
Sarah realized early in her career that the combination of stretch and strength that dance and Pilates provide, enhanced her performance. This realization was the catalyst in pursuing her career in Pilates and developing her unique teaching style.
Hailing from Nashville, TN, where she trained in dance from an early age, led her to earn a scholarship at The Edge Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles. From there, she went on to dance professionally for some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and around the world.
Eventually she decided to pursue her Pilates certification, and completed her training with Balanced Body. Sarah then began working with A-list celebrity trainer, Andie Hecker who taught her in her method of mixing components of ballet dance and pilates that made for a powerful workout.
After starting her family, Sarah decided to focus solely on her pilates career and started Shell Shape Fitness in 2019 in Ojai, CA. Her studio attracts celebrities and locals alike and her following continues to grow. Sarah will be hosting her first retreat in the spring of 2025!
