Quality before Quantity

This is the common thread of all that we do whether it is how we design each of our Pilates and Physical Therapy sessions, how we structure our daily schedules, or how we spend time with our peers and our clients. We want the studio to be more than just a place to work.  We want it to be a place where all of us can be our best selves.

Person First

The most valuable part of what we do is the relationships we develop and grow.  They are relationships with our clients, each other, and even ourselves.  We want to know each person’s story so that we can better understand their past, their present, and their aspirations. We want to know the experiential and emotional influences on the body. To do this, we must arrive each day and be completely present with each other. We must truly listen, watch, and reflect.  We must have empathy and compassion for one another and support each other.  We must hold ourselves accountable to those around us and understand the impact we can have on one person’s day and life.

Adaptive Capacity

This, in essence, is applied creativity.  It starts with the ability to enter any given moment and to openly consider and identify the diversity of factors and perspectives involved.  These moments are often initiated with change and may occur when working with a client, when organizing a schedule, or when considering our own lives.  From there, with optimism and innovation, one can create a solution that supports and promotes growth for all who are involved. 

Integrity

Within the studio we uphold a strong commitment to moral principles and values.  Honesty, Respect, Humility, Kindness, Responsibility, Trust, and Forgiveness are a few.  We strive to treat others as we would want to be treated and we are unified in our common vision and mission.

Engaging and Present

We consider our studio a sanctuary.  A place for our clients as well as ourselves to find a peaceful state of focus in the present moment.  We leave behind what came before and we put aside what might need to come after.  We strive to embody mindfulness and we want the studio to be welcoming, friendly, and fun.  It is important that our clients enjoy the time they spend at the studio and that there is value in what they have experienced.  We must focus our attention outward on the people we are communicating with. Listening with a clear mind, observing energy shifts and body language, offering empathy and compassion, and taking the time to reflect before responding.  In doing this we will be more open to the moment, more creative, and better able to offer our knowledge and expertise to guide our clients and each other towards our goals.

Appetite for Learning and Self Development

Our team is serious about play, exploration, and discovery as these actions promote cognitive fitness and development.  New experiences and personal growth require vulnerability, openness, and the humility of a “beginner’s mind”.  Our staff is passionate and committed in time and energy to lifelong learning.  This allows us to keep our work fresh, exciting, and current.  At our studio, we support this goal with monthly meetings, mentorship, in-house courses, multimedia resources, and a professional development stipend.

Self Inquiry and Reflection

We believe that whole-body health and wellness means being aware of who we are in mind, body, and spirit.  While we offer physical therapy and Pilates services, we encourage our clients to consider all aspects of their lives that affect their well being and ability to thrive.  We want to support our clients fully as we share in their stories and experiences.  In order to do this, as teachers, we must adopt this way of living as well and work to know ourselves so that we may better help others.

Team Management

Sakash Health and Wellness opened its first studio in September of 2018.  We were the first to bring the comprehensive work of Joseph Pilates in conjunction with rehabilitative science and knowledge to the valley and we have been amazed at the response.  We are growing so that every client who wants to experience this work can and we are looking for individuals who desire to participate in that growth with positive and collaborative energy.  Everyone has a voice in the studio and we all listen so that we can improve our services and ensure the highest level of satisfaction for our clients as well as each other. While we are unified and cohesive in our values, mission, and vision we encourage diversity, individuality, independence, and innovation in our team.
