Barbara Sferra

Maintaining a connection between mind, body and form has been a focus throughout Barbara’s life. She participated in gymnastics from Jr. High School through College. She took her first dance class at the age of 22 and has been dancing ever since. She was introduced to Pilates as a means to strengthen her core and improve her overall movement and well-being. In August 2008, Barbara received her Pilates certification from Pendleton Pilates, where she taught Group and Private Reformer Classes, Mat Classes, and Initial Consultations until 2020. Barbara currently teaches Group and Private Reformer classes at Anchor Wellness. Professionally, Barbara has a background in Employee Relations and Training, and currently gives back to the community through various volunteer activities.

Mary Singler

The beauty that Nia brings out in individual students inspires Mary to teach this lovely form of movement. She sees a hand bent with age offer a heart felt gesture; she see an athletic expression of energetic movement – both movements are gifts. Mary has been fascinated with encouraging health both professionally and personally. Her master’s degree is in health promotion with a focus in cardiorespiratory fitness. Marcy is a certified exercise physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine and is certified to teach (and currently also teach) yoga, strength training, and indoor cycling. In her opinion, Nia is one of the best ways to sustainably condition the body.

Rick Warm

Rick has practiced martial arts including tai chi for 40+ years. His study of tai chi and qigong has become more serious and focused over the past 10 years, and he is a certified instructor from the prestigious Deyin Institute in the UK. Rick is also the director of the Center for Wisdom and Leadership. 

Though the crux of Rick‘s work has centered on leadership and the development of wise leaders, for the last decade Rick has also focused on  wisdom in “second half of life,” the midlife transition, and in particular what it means to be an elder. Rick has taught classes and run seminars and workshops on the topics of wisdom, spirituality and aging. He also  leads a number of Elder Wisdom Circles around the city. Elder Wisdom Circles are groups of older adults, generally in retirement, that gather weekly to discuss such topics as conscious aging, spirituality, and the journey towards wisdom. The circles gather to learn from each other, encourage lifelong learning and growth, and discern how they can make a difference in the world – small or large.
