Michelle knows how to teach. With years of experience in fitness and a strong understanding of the body, she brings a depth of knowledge that comes through the moment she steps in front of the room. She understands how bodies move and brings that knowledge into the way she builds, explains, and coaches movement – helping students understand not just what they’re doing, but how to do it well.

Knowledge is only part of what makes a great teacher. Michelle has a natural way of connecting with the people in front of her. She pays attention, checks in, and finds ways to keep each person motivated while still keeping the energy of the whole room moving forward. Whether you’re ready to push harder or still figuring out what works for your body, she wants you to feel supported, challenged, and successful.

Michelle’s relationship with HYA+ actually started on the other side of the room. She began taking classes with us, quickly fell in love with the studio and community, and it wasn’t long before she reached out about wanting to be part of the team. A mom and fourth-grade teacher outside the studio, Michelle knows a thing or two about reading a room, keeping people engaged, and helping different personalities find their way. She brings that same combination of knowledge, energy, and encouragement to Pilates HIIT.

Expect smart movement, plenty of motivation, and a teacher who wants you to work hard – and feel good about the work you’re doing.
