Michelle Lopez - Stott Pilates Certified Instructor, CYT-200
I became a Stott Pilates certified teacher in 2009 and completed training in all Pilates apparatus; Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Stability Chair and Barrels. I’ve been teaching Pilates full time ever since. I like to work with clients of all ages and different needs in one-on-one sessions, as well as, group classes and workshops. To better assist a client’s individual needs, I attend continuing education courses like Stott Pilates Injuries and Special Populations, Stott Pilates Athletic Conditioning and Thomas Myers’ Anatomy Trains. I have completed Yoga Teacher Training 200-hour level and the Holistic Nutrition Specialist program at South West Institute of Healing Arts. In 2017, I completed instructor training for Tai Chi for Arthritis for Fall Prevention from the Tai Chi for Health Institute and I’m currently learning and practicing Tai Chi Yang style.
As a movement teacher, I strive to be effective in my articulation and cuing when leading a session or class, as well as, remaining fully present for my clients and students to better assist them, meet their needs and be ready to change course, if needed. “Let the student/client/the moment, teach me.”
