Quote from Michelle, “I really enjoy teaching Pilates, and during the past 9 years I have learned so much. In my heart, I want every client to learn to understand the value of Pilates as a preventative and restorative practice. I strive to help each of them grow to love Pilates. I personally cannot touch the lives of each client that enters a Pilates studio, but I can teach instructors the art of Pilates, share my passion with them and through them more clients can be reached.”
