**About Your Instructor**
Pukka founder Sharon Manzuk is a licensed physical therapist with over 25 years of experience, a 2nd generation classical Pilates teacher, and a certified integrative nutritionist. She holds a masterâs in physical therapy from Mount St. Maryâs University and a bachelorâs in psychology from UC San Diego. Sharon first came to Pilates as a patient -  after discovering it relieved her own chronic back pain, she was inspired to learn more and bring the method to her own patients and clients. She is a graduate of The Method, an invitation-only master Pilates training program with Jay Grimes â one of the original first-generation elders who studied directly with Joseph Pilates, and Sandy Shimoda of Vintage Pilates. Sharon also completed Chris Robinsonâs invitation-only S6 Pilates Continuing Education Intensive Training Program. These advanced trainings reflect an unbroken lineage to Joseph Pilatesâ original method and a deep commitment to classical principles. Sharon continues to train with world-renowned instructors Moses Urbano, Chris Robinson, and Sandy Shimoda.
Combining her classical Pilates and physical therapy background with training in Integrative Nutrition, Sharon offers a movement-as-medicine approach that integrates precise movement, clinical expertise, nutrition, and sustainable lifestyle habits to help teachers and clients in achieving lasting transformation, both in how they move and how they live, building strength, balance, and sustainable wellness from the inside out.Â
