Founded by Marilyn Glielmi, who has a master’s degree in exercise science and cardiac rehabilitation, Sana Vita focuses on the healing power of pilates, yoga and massage. Choose from pilates mat classes, private lessons, reformer work (equipment that uniformly develops your body and increases body alignment awareness) and yoga. Sana Vita also offers NIA classes, which carefully combine selected movements and concepts from yoga, tai chi, tae kwon do, aikido, modern dance and other movements. It encourages inner exploration and self-discovery and guides students to move through their own unique, infinitely creative space.

If you’re feeling a bit bored with your workout routine, try Yamuna body rolling, which combines exercise, massage and chiropractic treatment in one session. These exercise practices will not only begin to elongate, tone and strengthen your muscles, but will enhance your posture, flexibility and balance. Most importantly, you will be keenly aware of the connection between your body, mind and spirit. Bring a friend or two and save a bit of money as Sana Vita offers duet and triplet training. The studio also offers massage therapy, holistic healing and energetic bodywork.
