As a long-time, avid volleyball player Meagan Sayers was intrigued with the way her body performed under certain circumstances and how her daily nutrition was a major component of body awareness and performance. Pilates seemed a natural next step for her, so in 2006 Meagan embarked on a one-year intensive Pilates training and study of the human anatomy through the Pilates Institute of Southern California. After graduating, she decided to make the Pilates Institute her home, and she’s now been working in this industry for six years. The Pilates Institute offers private and group lessons, along with a teacher certification program. Meagan creates individual programs that meet clients’ personal goals and needs. She is certified in reformer, chair, Cadillac and mat Pilates.

How do you maintain your own health and fitness?

“I’m a fan of simplicity and being well-rounded in your everyday life. I stay active during the week, eat well and then treat myself on weekends. I love staying connected to my passions—long hikes, playing volleyball, Pilates and most of all my son and husband. They both make sure I don’t lose my sense of humor and are always keeping me on my toes.”
