Sabine James

Instructor

Vero Pilates Long Beach

Sabine started her Pilates journey in 1995, taking her first class as part of the program at the dance department at CSULB.  Dealing with a chronic knee injury, Pilates has been essential in Sabine's ability to be pain free and to still go strong after four knee surgeries.  She has 30 years of experience in teaching fitness classes in both the US and Germany and received her Pilates certification in 2001 from Marie-Jose Blom at Long Beach Dance Conditioning.  Sabine has studied Kinesiology and Sports Medicine in Frankfurt/ Germany and holds a BA in Dance from CSULB.  Throughout the years Sabine created and trademarked Wünderball, a high energy workout with the physioball.  As a movement enthusiast, Sabine has a special passion for form, precision and cultivating mental strength.  Though she does not believe in pain or strain, she will make her clients tap into a potential beyond their comfort zone. Sabine enjoys teaching classes with an athletic emphasis.
