Testimonials & Press
“I went into the pilates teacher training program at CSM with the simple intention of doing something for myself that I love. Never did I imagine that I would get to work with such an accomplished and genuine instructor (Sarah Artha Negara). She is training and bringing into the pilates community and beyond not only very well educated future pilates instructors, but professionals wanting to incorporate pilates as physical therapists, nurses, and other modalities like dance, yoga, etc. The thing I most appreciate about learning from her is that she preaches and practices to be non-judgmental, empathetic, and joyful in a very safe environment. Thanks Sarah, for cultivating such a nourishing community based on the simple idea of supporting one another!” ~Yumi, CSM Student"An inspirational, engaging and tremendously informative class taught by a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher."

"Sarah’s extensive Pilates background and insight into the human body set her in a league of her own. Each mat exercise is clearly explained including various modifications and precautions. Ample time is provided for practice teaching. This class has inspired me to further my own practice."

"The Pilates certificate program at College of San Mateo is wonderful and all I hoped it would be. The semester format is excellent. The facility is absolutely gorgeous. The cost of the program is what I have been waiting for, since the program is at a very professional level, yet is offered at community college prices. I am already using the Pilates work with my clients."

"My first experience with Pilates was with Carola Trier in NYC. I’ve been teaching Pilates Mat for 8 years. This is an ideal opportunity to be Pilates certified. Great information, new ideas, and excellent instruction to enhance my teaching."
