When she's not continuing her education she's spending time with her husband and hyper active dog, enjoying outdoor sport, the beach and travelling. She loves both teaching classes and working one on one with clients to help them find their connections as she strongly believes pilates is for all ages and all body types.
You'll see Michelle around the studio teaching Mat & Reformer classes, as well as SPINNING! (and taking some of the varied classes too!)

We are a GREEN facility! We recycle, use a compost bin, use "green" cleaning products as much as possible, support products Made in the USA, and Buy Local. We made great strides in 2010 as we discontinued our retail clothing (lululemon) because it is made in China. We have expanded our retail line in 2011 to carrying only products made in USA!
