About Motion Lab Pilates

Motion Lab is a boutique Pilates studio founded by Sarah Dassi.  Specialising in private individual classes on a one to one basis, duets and small group online classes. 

Sarah discovered  Pilates over twenty years ago whilst attending Pilates Mat classes during her lunch breaks in the City and has been a convert ever since. She took the leap out of the corporate world in 2015 and qualified first as a Pilates Mat teacher and later as a fully Comprehensive Studio Practitioner Polestar Pilates, the world renowned leader of Pilates education. 

Fully comprehensive Pilates allows movement to be taught using a full range of apparatus including Reformer, Trapeze, Chair, Ladder Barrel & Spine Corrector.  The exercises can be adapted to suit any issues, current injuries or underlying medical conditions or to increase athletic performance. 

Polestar Pilates encompasses movement science, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and motor control, integrating the latest scientific findings of orthopedics, rehabilitation and sports medicine within its curriculum. Providing its graduates with the tools and skills to create individually tailored movement experiences for all. 

"Change happens through movement and movement heals."

Outside the studio, Sarah likes to stay active. She is a mother, an avid cross- fitter and enjoys traveling and skiing in her spare time. 

Inspired by how versatile Pilates is, Sarah uses a range of apparatus to coach clients to build and maintain physical strength and mobility. Her classes are tailored to the individual needs of the client, whom often continue to experience the benefits of Pilates outside the studio whilst carrying out day to day functions and tasks.
