Michele Shanaphy

As a former financial executive, Michele found Pilates to be an excellent way to maintain overall muscle tone, strength and flexibility, improve her posture and relieve stress.

Michele was certified through Power Pilates in 2007 and recently through BASI Pilates in 2015. She started teaching part time but after the birth of her son in 2008, Michele chose to devote herself full-time to the discipline. She has also completed additional coursework in specialised areas such as Innovations in Pilates (stretching), Pilates for the male client, Pilates for tennis players and golfers, pre and post natal Pilates and Barre Pilates.

Michele believes Pilates is the key to keeping our bodies young, strong and injury free and loves sharing her passion for Pilates with her clients. She currently teaches Privates as well as Group Mat and Equipment classes.

Michele is currently studying to become a BioCored Corrective X I Instructor and for her PMA certification. Michele is also a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach (AADP) through The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University.
