Sasha Welsh is a dancer and choreographer who began her study of Pilates in 1994 to help improve her technique and heal from injury. She has been teaching Pilates since 2004 and has experience working with many injuries and conditions including pregnancy, post-natal and many spinal and orthopedic problems.

Sasha specializes in injury prevention, alignment and conditioning for dancers, and is currently on the faculty in the dance program at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She has also been a student of, and assistant/demonstrator for anatomist Irene Dowd for many years.

Besides HSF she has also taught Pilates at DeSales University, The University of the Arts, and Swarthmore College; to the cast of Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria; and at some of the best Pilates studios in New York including Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates and Bridge Pilates.

She is a proud mother of two and long-term Brooklyn resident.

What is she like as a teacher? I focus on muscle balance, biomechanics, and awareness, working to realign and strengthen your body in each class.
