Sarah Lunceford

Sarah began her journey with Pilates around ten years ago as a supplemental form of exercise for her dance training. Pilates became an instrumental form of cross-training for her, helping aid in core strength, balanced muscle development, strength and flexibility, and continued attention to coordination. She began her Pilates instructor training while pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from Belhaven University. She fell in love with the opportunity Pilates offers to clients to engage in functional movement practices that honor the mind/body connection. She completed her Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates Instructor training in 2024 after studying Mat, Reformer, Trapeze, Chair, and Barrels under Balanced Body Master Instructors Erin Scheiwe Rockwell, Kelly Leonardi-Uygan, and Melissa Kakavas.

Sarah is originally from North Carolina, but upon completing her Master of Fine Arts in Dance from Hollins University, she chose to relocate to the DFW area to pursue a career as a professional dancer. As a Pilates instructor, Sarah loves offering clients the opportunity to learn more about their bodies while enjoying movement and finding a deeper connection to and awareness of personal strength and growth.

Lana Rosales - Yoga Instructor

Lana began her practice with Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class in Albuquerque, New Mexico, February 2013. She quickly transitioned to heated Power Vinyasa, experiencing both its cardiovascular and detoxification benefits along with building strength.

In February 2016, Lana completed her initial yoga teacher certification, followed by Yin certification. She led Yin and occasional slow-flow Vinyasa classes at PilatesVIP in Keller for more than three years. Her classes are tailored to complement the Pilates work done on the Reformer and in Floorwork classes.

Yin yoga is the quiet practice." It is quite the opposite of active muscle exercise. Yin yoga strengthens the joints by gently stretching and strengthening the connective tissue. It increases the production of hyaluronic acid in the synovial fluid of the joints, assisting in prevention of degradation. Yin also helps keep the fascia healthy. Fascia is the thin film of tissue connecting every cell in the body.

Yin yoga practice is a beautiful complement to Pilates and is highly beneficial when practiced before or after the active or yang muscle work of Pilates.
