Michael studied with Romana Kryzanowska, one of the five elders trained by Joseph Pilates himself. He further expanded his expertise through clinical orthopedic manual therapy, Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training (RFST), and additional movement-based methods.
Drawing on this distinctive combination of training and experience, Michael designs programs tailored to each individual client. He works with professionals, performing artists, athletes, and clinical patients, supporting injury recovery, improving strength and tone, and helping clients move toward goals ranging from performance optimization to more efficient recovery.
By carefully assessing each client’s movement patterns, fitness level, and goals, Michael develops individualized programs that emphasize not only results, but also the thoughtful, progressive steps needed to achieve them safely and sustainably.
