Brooke Benton

Senior Instructor and Studio Manager

Brooke Benton loves to move. Born and raised in the mountains of Colorado, Brooke grew up with the understanding that a healthy lifestyle begins with physical movement. The promise of new adventures in dance and outdoor activities lead her to the University of Oregon where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dance/Kinesiology. There Brooke discovered Pilates and found that it not only enhanced her dance training, but also embodied her lifestyle. After becoming certified through Polestar Pilates in 2004, Brooke moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to continue her pursuit of Pilates and dance. Since then Brooke has had the opportunity to teach Pilates at a variety of studios and gyms, before opening her own studio- Core Pilates Sausalito. In addition to working with clients, Brooke has dedicated herself to becoming an Master Trainer and Certifying Instructor through The Center for Women’s Fitness.  Through The Center of Women’s Fitness, Brooke has taken her practice to a new level and continues to seek greater educational opportunities within the field. Brooke is also certified in the Pink Ribbon Program as a breast cancer recovery specialist.  In 2007 she attended the cadaver workshop at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York, NY.  
In 2012, Brooke and her husband moved to Park City to be closer to family and the amazing outdoors of Utah.  When she’s not at the studio she is laughing with her daughter or playing in the mountains- skiing, trail running, and mt biking.  In or out of the studio, Brooke takes her high energy and enthusiasm into every aspect of life.  She strives to bring vitality, educated body awareness, and love of physical movement to each and every client.

Emma Worsley

Polestar Pilates  Comprehensive Studio Series and Matwork Certification
Center for Women's Fitness Pre and Postnatal certification

Emma  knew she needed to do something after bending over one day to tie up her shoe laces and could not stand back up again. Four beautiful babies and natural births had taken its toll on not only her pelvic floor, but her lower back and posture. After hobbling around with a cushion to sit on for weeks she finally found the courage to open the door of a local Pilates studio. “ I need help” she shared with the instructor standing tall before her “I don’t even know how to stand up straight anymore”…  This was the birthplace of Emma’s love for Pilates and her growing passion to share the benefits of Pilates with anyone and everyone. Emma learnt very quickly that Pilates not only helped her feel better and stronger and had her moving without pain again, it was like the unlocking of a door of understanding how good you can feel in your body. It became the springboard that made all the other activities she loved to do better. She learnt that you don’t have to accept feeling average – Pilates can help in so many ways. Emma has undertaken training in Australia, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States and has benefitted from each of these experiences. Emma has always loved to teach and loves sharing the benefits of Pilates with her clients. She is particularly passionate about teaching Pilates to teenagers as she believes body awareness and mindful movement are such a gift at that age . Since moving to Park City she has seen the need for such an active community to have a full service Pilates Studio easily accessible. Welcome to Studio Pilates Park City.

Anna Lee

Instructor

A recent transplant to Utah, from West Palm Beach, Fl, Anna Lee has been involved with the Pilates Method for over 15 years. First using the Pilates Method to recover from sports injuries in her own body, she now seeks to help others return to health, improve biomechanics and better sports performance. Anna Lee received her first Pilates Certification from All-American Pilates in 2003, passed the Pilates Method Alliance exam in 2005 and was awarded a Gold Level Certification (the highest in the industry at the time). A self proclaimed “anatomy geek”, Anna continues her study of the body, with the practice and teaching of Vinyasa and Yin yoga, as well as dealing with fascia and “stuck tension” using the Melt Method. 

Joseph Pilates said “The Pilates Method teaches you to be in control of your body, not at its mercy”… and in every private session and class that Anna teaches, that’s her goal… to teach you to more deeply know yourself.

I have practiced massage therapy for the past 10 years, have been practicing yoga for over 13 years and have taught yoga as well as meditation for three years up until the point I added Pilates to my movement repertoire.

Sandy Vojik, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist and Pilates Instructor

Sandy is a native of Riverside, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She grew up participating in gymnastics, softball, basketball, volleyball and track. Her athletic career narrowed to softball when she played at DePaul University. a Division 1 NCAA program. During her career at DePaul University, Sandy's team played in two women's college world series and finished the season in the NCAA's Top 25 rankings three out of her four years.

After graduating, playing in the National Professional Fast Pitch League for one season and completing prerequisites, Sandy was accepted into the University of Utah Physical Therapy Doctoral Program. Upon Moving to Utah, Sandy was introduced to Pilates and became immediately interested in how the movement practice could complement her athletic training.

During her physical therapy school internships, she realized the Pilates curriculum gave her the ability to see three dimensional movement. This allowed her to effectively correct faulty movement patterns in clients, thereby decreasing symptoms such as pain and discomfort.

Sandy utilizes an eclectic approach when treating clients, drawing from a foundation of knowledge based on her education, experience and self guided learning. As a facilitator for healing, Sandy gets satisfaction from seeing her clients improve their movement quality, athletic performance and overall quality of life. She knows what it is like to train at an elite level and has experienced how injury can impede years of hard work. However she also knows the resiliency and robustness of the human body and believes each client has, with in themselves, the ability to heal and progress.
