If you want to learn how to move well, feel great, and optimize your health, then this is the place for you!
Private Sessions are the ideal way to learn the Pilates method. We are each unique inside and out, have different learning styles, fitness levels, and movement experience. Private sessions offer you individualized programing, cuing, and training from an expert in the field to meet your needs. In addition, at Bali Body Pilates studio, a private session means exactly that, the entire studio is reserved just for you.
Sarah is such a warm and caring person, in addition to being highly knowledgeable and experienced master Pilates instructor. I've made several trips from the Bay Area with a friend to her charming studio in the Old Sash Mill, Santa Cruz, for duet sessions, and appreciate Sarah's carefully designed classes that work the body thoroughly, with special attention to proper form, breathing, alignment and modifications as needed.

Bali Body Pilates studio owner, Sarah Artha-Negara has made a major impact for the better in my life. As a client I received sessions for pre-hab and rehab of hip dysfunction leading up to and after replacements. The ease of recovery surprised my doctor !! Sarah has superior Pilates knowledge and is a kind, compassionate human being. I am very grateful,

I love this place! Sarah Artha Negara is an AMAZING pilates instructor. I've taken hundreds of private and group pilates classes over the past 10+ years and she's the best I've ever had. She's so incredibly knowledgable, and she's patient, kind, encouraging, and full of awesomeness in so many ways. I've taken privates at her very well equipped studio in Santa Cruz. I've also taken her group mat classes offered online via zoom. Highly recommended!!!

I was recently diagnosed with a 60 degree lower lumbar scoliosis and I am 70 years young! It was such a shock but it definitely explained why my body was twisted and why I had constant pain. Sarah to the rescue!
She was amazing not only to work with my condition but to explain it to me as well. I am finally understanding my body and with Sarah, everything makes sense. She is better than any Physical Therapist. My shoulder was frozen for years after a breast lumpectomy and now it is pain free and I have a great range of motion. I also had two knee replacements and Sarah worked in conjunction

I wish I could give more than 5 stars as Sarah is an absolutely phenomenal Pilates instructor! I've been taking Pilates for quite a while but her expertise is incredible, if you want an instructor that goes above and beyond to assess your individual needs and help you, definitely go to Sarah.
Her studio is beautiful and has a great vibe that makes working out feel like you are on a relaxing vacation even if you are feeling the burn! (In a good way!) It's located in an adorable plaza with lots of parking making it super convenient.
I have several musculature imbalances that despite

I am a 20 year old female and have had a hip problem for the past five years, which forced me to retire from figure skating (after eight years) but has also left me in constant pain. I had seen 5 different doctors (orthopedic surgeons, specialists, and others) and none were able to give me any relief. After I had given up on finding any relief for my pain I signed up for Sarah's Pilates class, which has helped me tremendously. I am no longer in pain 24/7 and because of her class I have been able to sign up for other physical activity classes (which I never would've thought was possible

Sarah is an amazing Pilates instructor! I've taken many different Pilates classes in many different studios and gyms and Sarah is one of my favorite instructors so far. She's an incredibly friendly and takes that extra time and energy to really know and connect with her students. When I injured my back, she was incredibly helpful in giving me proper cues and giving me advice on how to take care of my injury. She mixes up her classes so that we do different things every time, and she often takes requests from students so that the classes are really personalized.

If you are looking for someone who understands anatomy, who has outstanding knowledge in different areas of fitness, and who can give you an amazing, fun workout, look no further! I'm thoroughly impressed with Sarah as a Pilates Instructor. She is personable, detail oriented, and her experience is reflected in everything she does. Take a class with her and you'll know what I mean! A+

Sarah is an excellent Pilates instructor. Even in a large group setting she manages to pass on her knowledge and enthusiasm to each individual regardless of prior experience level. I have become stronger and more aware of my body through her attention. In fact, I value her class so much that I am taking it for the third semester in a row!
