Biography
Initially trained as a classical dancer at the San Francisco Ballet, Michelle has more than 20 years of experience teaching fitness, yoga and dance. A former executive in the fashion industry, she has traded her stilettos for trainers, as she raises her two sons and wrangles both her husband and their full size dachshund. A true Libra she adores balance in her workout styles ranging from strength to step, from yoga to cardio intervals. Expect a class that is challenging yet accessible with an inspiring playlist. She has a special interest in working with older adults and as a mother to a child with cerebral palsy, she is also passionate about special needs and adaptive exercise. When not coaching you might find her playing tennis, planning her next travel adventure, curled up with a book, or serving on committees with the Central Park Conservancy Playground Partners and Juilliard.
