Emily Mallar
Classes Offered: Barre, TRX, Rebounding, POUND!
Perhaps better known in the Ithaca Community as "Pineapple," Emilly has been a student at The Pilates Room since 2014 and officially joined us as an instructor in 2016. Emily teaches a number of classes at the Pilates Room of which Rebounding is her favorite, although she admittedly is not a fan of cardio! Certified in Barre Connect and TRX Suspension Training, Emily is a high-energy instructor who likes everyone to have a good time!!
Emily grew up in North Conway, NH, before coming to Ithaca to attend College in 1998 - and she's been here ever since! In her "day job" Emily is a Nursing Director for the local Healthcare Network and loves spending time outside of work (both as an RN and as fitness instructor) with her husband Phil and their son, Hunter.
Sarah Harrington
Classes Offered: Pilates Reformer, Reform HIIT, Pilates Mat
Sarah first learned about Pilates in college as a challenging supplement to her yoga practice, but soon became fascinated by Pilates. Growing up in Maine, Sarah was a soccer player and a swimmer, and along the way found an appreciation for how daily movement practice creates both a strong, resilient body and a focused mind. Post Northeastern University in Boston and the start of a career in event management, Sarah’s passion for movement led her to become a fully trained classical Pilates instructor through Equinox Pilates Institute and the Pilates Method Alliance.
Sarah’s experience with athletics and movement coaching inform her instructor style – form and function first, but her classes will challenge your physical limits. Out of the studio, Sarah enjoys riding her bike around town, swimming, paddleboarding, and baking.
