Sharon Gallagher is the co-creator and co-teacher of the Sanchez
Street Studio Teacher Training Program, developed in 2005.
Sharon was
first introduced to the Pilates Method in 1996, while undergoing
physical therapy for a knee injury. After recovering, teaching dance,
and dancing for a few years, she suffered an ankle and foot injury
which prevented her from dancing again.
Pilates seemed like a natural path to recovery and inspired her to teach others the valuable
information she was learning.
Sharon became certified with Ellie Herman
while concurrently studying the neuro muscular re-education work of
Vladimir's Janda with Jayne Edwards and Lizz Roman.

To further her understanding of the method, Sharon attended a teaching
intensive at the Pilates Center of Boulder in 2000 and also studied
with Cara Reeser. There she experienced her first glimpse into the
art and subtlety of cueing movement and also the deeper essence of the
Pilates Method. Sharon continued her inspiration for this style of
teaching by studying with Jennifer Stacey at Peak Performance where
she worked until 2005.
Sharon has been the Head Trainer in charge of Teacher Certification at
Ellie Herman Studios, and is now the Head of Continuing Education for
certified teachers. She is respected within the Pilates community as
a teacher's teacher and has trained many instructors.
Sharon is very
excited to have developed the Sanchez Street Studio Educational
Program with Carol which blends their working knowledge of the
"classic" Pilates exercises informed by their focus on the art of
cueing.
Sharon is also currently a professional dancer and has been
performing with Printz Dance Project since 2001.
