“Sara is a treasure. Although I have a pretty interesting and rich life, Sara’s class is usually the most fun I have all week! It is an absolute joy to dance with her. And the workout is wonderful because I can easily make it as big or as small as I need it to be that day.”
— Linda Glass

“Sara is an outstanding Nia teacher – talented, inspiring, warm, playful, and soulful. And wow, can she move! Sara treats all students with genuine kindness and respect. She builds such a sense of joy and community in the studio that I never want to miss Nia. For many years, my life and health have been enriched by the classes Sara teaches and the enthusiasm she exudes.”

“I’ve been attending Sara’s NIA classes–first in person, then online upon the start of the pandemic–for over 6 years now. The weekly hour of movement (and dance) has helped improve my muscle tone and balance, guided in no small measure by Sara, whose boundless energy and cheerfulness have created pleasureful camaraderie among the participants. Her class has been great for the body and the spirit.”
— Alan M.
“My NIA class with Sara is the anchor of my week. Sara’s class is well planned with movements and music that not only help my body but never fail to lift my spirits. Sara’s positive attitude and encouragement makes our class a great support group that I don’t ever want to miss.”

“I have taken Sara’s yoga class for over 5 years now. She’s a great teacher. It’s a challenging class, but also fun and calming. Love how I feel after each class. Totally ready for my day!”
— Erin H.
“Especially because I am mobility limited, I look forward to my NIA exercise sessions with Sara Shafran. She exudes a sense of welcoming and enthusiasm that make it a joy for me to be part of the group. By the end of our sessions, I feel that every muscle in my body has had its chance to be gently stretched and strengthened while the smiles on my face and inside of me stay on to help keep me going. So grateful for this class.”
— Fred
“I’ve been taking yoga and Nia classes with Sara for over 10 years . Each class is a joyous experience filled with her passion, expertise, and guidance amid the healing power of movement.”
— Julie K.
“I first attended Sara’s NIA for PD in person and I remember wondering if it was worth the drive and whether I would be able to keep up. Those Tuesday mornings immediately became the highlight of my week in my new PD world. Sara was immediately welcoming and encouraging and FUN! I began to think of the other participants as new friends. I loved that the exercise could be adapted to whatever issue any participant had and that Sara was so open to suggestions (more balance practice/ favorite music…). Even on zoom, the class provided a social break to accompany my desperately needed exercise. I am grateful for having Sara and her class.”
