about the trainer - michele place

micheleMichele Place has been involved in the health and fitness industry for 18 years. She chooses the Pilates method for a variety of reasons: the fluidity of movement integrating the whole body appeals to her love of dance; the combination of strength and the flexibility incorporated into each Pilates session is a complete workout creating a feeling of balance and vitality; and the focus on proper body mechanics brings a graceful awareness and alignment to the motions of daily life.

Michele uses her knowledge of Pilates and applied kinesiology to educate you about your own physical strengths and weaknesses. This newfound awareness is meant to be used not only in your studio workout, but throughout daily activities, often creating a profound change in body awareness, posture, and stamina.

"With Symmetry, I have created an inviting, private studio where I can offer this mind-body work to you. I look foward to every moment of it and to sharing with you the gifts of Joseph H. Pilates."

Michele Place holds the following certifications: Integrated Teacher Training taught by Madeline Black at A Body of Work Sonoma, Physicalmind Institute Pilates Mat Instructor, American Council on Exercise (ACE), and NIA Blue Belt Instructor.
