Next to her mother Romana Kryzanowska, she is the most acclaimed Pilates instructor of true Pilates. Sari worked directly with Joe and Clara Pilates. Sari also shares her mother’s life long passion for teaching others the original true Pilates method. After being introduced to Pilates through her alignment, Sari required a talent for it. She was young when she came to the US and started to work at the Pilates studio with the guidance of Uncle Joe and Clara, and taught the method at her mothers side consistently since she was in her teens. Sari splits her time at True Pilates NY, as well as Romana’s Pilates home studio. She has and continues to travel all over the world teaching instructors and clients in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and some German!

ABOUT
Pilates Body Shaping opened in Charlotte, NC in September, 2001. It is set in the heart of the Elizabeth Neighborhood near uptown Charlotte. Owner/Director, Laney Abernethy was certified a year prior by Romana Kryzanowska. In addition to her studies with Romana, Laney has studied with Sari Mejia-Santo, Juanita Lopez, Cynthia Lochard, Marjorie Oron, and many other widely respected teachers in the Classical Pilates world. When the Romana’s Pilates Teacher Training program was first established, Laney was hand-picked by Romana to open the training certification center in North Carolina.
Over 22 years later, the studio has been fortunate enough to host numerous workshops, seminars, and continuing education for Romana’s Pilates. Pilates Body Shaping is the preferred studio in Charlotte to train Olympic swimmers, professional athletes and dancers, in addition to maintaining a clientele of dedicated, long-standing students. To this day, Pilates Body Shaping is the only Teacher Trainer Center in North Carolina.
