Meet Sandra Zeuner

Owner & Operator of Absolutely Pilates

A former professional modern dancer and movement educator, Sandra discovered Pilates and it’s benefits after a dance-related injury in the mid 90’s. The emphasis on core strength, flexibility and alignment of the whole body, not just attention to the injury, was a light bulb moment for her. It sparked a deep interest in learning more about The Pilates method, which eventually led her to study with Romana Kryzanowska, a protégé of Joseph Pilates.

In 1998, she received her certification in the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning in the Independent Instructor Training program with Romana Kryzanowska, along with master teachers Bob Liekens and Sari Meja Santo.

Sandra has been greatly influenced by the work of Eric Franklin, Lulu Sweigard and Irene Dowd.

Sandra holds an MA degree in dance from The Ohio State University and a BFA, cum laude, in dance from Ohio University. In addition, she is a MELT® Hand & Foot Instructor (2015) and a Roll Model® Method Certified Practitioner (2024).
