Sharon Felici, a former dancer and dance instructor, has been a physical therapist assistant since 2000 and a Pilates instructor since 2007. She has been certified under Power Pilates and has trained under masters such as Bob Liekens, Lesly Levy, Cheryl Turnquist, and of course, Valerie Ezzo Lopata.

With decades of experience treating injured patients in physical therapy, she enjoys bringing her extensive knowledge of anatomy and injury prevention into her Pilates sessions. She has worked with clients of all ages and levels including professional dancers, figure skaters, and athletes.

She is very excited and honored to be working for Bodywise Pure Pilates where she can contribute to bringing the beauty of Joseph Pilates' classical method to the public.

Resident Instructor

Sabina grew up dancing and has always been extremely passionate about health and wellness! It wasn't until she found Bodywise Pure Pilates in 2018, that she truly fell in love with Pilates. Seeking to make it a bigger part of her life, Sabina began her teacher training journey in the fall of 2023 and graduated the Real Pilates Teacher Training program in the spring of 2024. With her love for Pilates and wellness, Sabina hopes to be able to make a positive impact on others through her practice. 

Senior Instructor

Becka came into the Pilates world in 2017 first as a client and soon after shifted into teacher training. She graduated the Real Pilates Teacher Training program in 2019 and came aboard the Bodywise team. She strives to bring light-heartedness to her classes and sessions, all the while getting that little bit extra out of her clients. In addition to teaching Pilates, Becka has been a small business owner in the Utica area for twenty years, having built and sustained her successful massage therapy business, Shine. She specializes in offering Thai Stretch treatments, and hopes to shift into teaching that work in the future.

She is an excellent cook and in her spare time, spends most of the good weather in the garden, and the bad weather curled up with a book or three.
