Experience

PILATES INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER TRAINER 1998 – to PRESENT

Michael began his Pilates career studying in the classical style of Romana Krysanowska in NYC. The need to ‘move to heal’ was clearly an important step for Michael as he branched away from his formal training in physiology and sports related training into the realm of integrative or holistic movement. This was later enhanced through studying with Bob Liekens of Power Pilates as well as influences from Ron Fletcher., Michelle Larson & Eve Gentry. Michael’s basic philosophy “Improve Movement, Improve life.”

YOGA FACILITATOR/TEACHER TRAINER 1997 – PRESENT

Captivated by the process of inner inquiry, yoga has always provided an important place of self study for Michael. Its this gift he wishes to pass on to his students. Michael’s Yoga journey began at the age of 17. Through expert guidance and deep introspection from many teachers in the UK and USA, Michael has found a unique approach of blending modern ideas into a historically traditional practice. His passion for anatomy and the spirit of the human body are his motivation.

KMI STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION PRACTITIONER 2007 – PRESENT

In progressing from one modality to the next, Structural Integration was the natural path to take. Having found that movement and manual therapies both have their place in bringing about healing, KMI offered an opportunity to combine these concepts in a profound and powerful way. Michael continues to see and apply principles of movement in the structural integration realm as well as principles of SI into the movement world.

ANATOMY TRAINS FACILITATOR 2012

Certified into the ranks of Kinesis, Michael is looking forward to sharing the vast body of knowledge that has so heavily influenced his own work. Anatomy trains has proven invaluable in learning to see, touch and move the body.
