Michelle’s battle with scoliosis finally ended when she found Pilates. She gratefully dove headlong into the exercise form, becoming teacher at and owner of Pilates South Bay, which has now been in business more than nine years. Her students – describe her as “knowledgeable,” a “motivator,” and a teacher whose calming manner leaves them feeling relaxed “during and after each session.” Teaching alongside a full staff of highly trained and professional pilates instructors, Michelle specializes in private sessions with competitive ice skaters and the geriatric population.
