PILATES EDUCATION LAB
Welcome and Thank you for your interest in our program.
Our mission at Pilates Education Lab is to produce stellar instructors
who are passionately committed to the vigorous and full body
movement experience of the Classical Pilates Method, and are also
masterful at adapting movement for each individual client in their
present state of health. We believe that begins with a strong foundation
of understanding anatomy, biomechanics, movement patterning and
fundamental movement skills. Our in depth training prepares our
graduates to develop their analytical, intuitive and physical teaching skills
so they can succeed in any teaching environment. Our goal is to create
a supportive, safe and inspired learning environment that encourages
questions, exploration and practice.

CAROL LEMAITRE
Carol LeMaitre was first introduced to
Pilates the usual way, as a dancer with a
back injury. She made her way to St. Francis
Hospital’s Dance Medicine Department,
the very first hospital in the world to offer
Pilates as part of a rehab program. Carol
was so impressed with Pilates’ ability to
heal her body that she was inspired to
become a teacher, beginning her studies
with Master Teachers Michelle Larsson and Jennifer Stacey. She finished
her formal training with Ellie Herman in 1999.
In 2000, Carol opened Sanchez Street Studios as a one-woman operation
while living upstairs with her husband and two sons. From its humble
beginning, Sanchez Street Studios has grown to encompass the entire
building, with six trainers offering classes and private sessions, seven days
a week.
Feeling that she needed more training to work with the various clients
that were coming in the door, Carol studied The Janda Method of Neuromuscular Re- education. She has also been greatly inspired by her studies
with Eric Franklin, Kathleen Stanford Grant, Cara Reeser, Mary Bowen,
Irene Dowd and the entire crew at The Pilates Center of Boulder. Today
Carol is certified by the Pilates Method Alliance, received her Masters
from the Pilates Center of Boulder and is a certified MELT Hand and
Foot Instructor. Her audio workout CDs, available on iTunes, have been
featured in Pilates Style magazine.
In 2005, Carol approached Sharon Gallagher and proposed the idea
of designing a teacher training program that would teach the Classical
Repertoire and that would include the fusion of many methods to teach
the fundamental skills needed to foster dramatic change. Together
they have taught and mentored a talented group of students that have
completed the program and gone on to become amazing teachers.

SHARON GALLAGHER-RIVERA
Sharon Gallagher-Rivera was an avid gymnast
and athlete as a child, and first studied dance
formally at USF. After graduating in 1992 with
a BA in Politics and a Performing Arts minor,
she dove headlong into a career in dance,
over the years performing with Sacrosanct
Dance, Passionflower Project and Printz
Dance Project. The intense physical training
led to chronic pain. Physical therapy brought
temporary relief but did not solve underlying causes. Working in the office
of Edie Murphy, Physical Therapist and Aston Patterner, first sparked her
awareness of Pilates, Feldenkrais, Aston Patterning and Rolfing. Sharon
also worked with Stephen Coleman, L.Ac. who alleviated her pain and later
became her teacher and mentor in bodywork and massage techniques in
2005 (combining Lauren Berry work, Rolfing, Feldenkreis manual work and
NMR). She began studying Pilates with Ellie Herman, entering the Teacher
Training program in 1998, and concurrently studied the Neuro-Muscular
Re-education work of Vladimir Janda, MD from Jayne Edwards. Wanting to
advance her studies, she attended a Teacher Training Intensive through
the Pilates Center of Boulder in 2000 and also began ongoing training with
Jennifer Stacey, M.S. that same year. Sharon was sold on the power of the
Pilates method. Over the years, Sharon has been fortunate to study with
many incredible teachers and mentors including Pilates Elders and Master
Instructors in Pilates, Dance, Somatics, Bodywork and Yoga.
Sharon became the Head Trainer at the Ellie Herman Studio in SF in 2003
and mentored many teachers and clients there through 2010. In 2006,
Sharon and Carol LeMaitre developed the Sanchez Street Pilates Teacher
Training Program (now Pilates Education Lab) with the goal of preparing
teachers who know the Classical work and also have the skills to adapt
exercises for anyone. Lululemon selected her as an Ambassador for
2010-2011, and during that year, Sharon completed a Personal Trainer
Bridge Program through PTA Global. In 2012, she graduated from the
Masters Program through the Pilates Center of Boulder also became a

Hand and Foot Instructor for the MELT method. She also had the great
honor of being selected as the “Next Pilates Anytime Instructor 2012”,
which won her a workout story in Pilates Style Magazine (Jan 2013) and the
opportunity to become an instructor on the Pilates Anytime website.
Sharon is a PMA Certified instructor and has modeled for Ellie Herman’s
books, Pilates for Dummies and Pilates Wunda Chair as well as Ellie’s DVD
of Advanced Matwork. She also appears in Jordan Matter’s book, Dancer’s
Among Us. Sharon currently owns Internal Fire Pilates in Mill Valley,
Co-owns Pilates Education Lab. Having been an avid dancer, performer,
and practitioner of Yoga for over 20 years, Sharon finds balance and
inspiration by including hikes with her new son Silas, her dog Zoe, and by
maintaining a regular Pilates, dance and Yoga practice.
