Michelle M. Silva is a New York Certified Pilates Instructor. Michelle found what is considered the “Authentic Pilates Method” in 1999. In 2003, she received her certification under the tutelage of Romana Kryzanowska, the world-renowned protégé of Joseph Pilates and her daughter Sari Mejia Santo through their original International New York based Pilates Certification Program. Her certification process required a minimum of 800 hours of apprenticeship and a pre-requisite of 75 hours of personal sessions with “Authentic Pilates” instructors. Michelle continues her education and certification through “Romana’s Pilates” and remains true to their teaching method as handed down by Joseph and Clara Pilates. She remains connected to the only Romana's Pilates teacher training studio in the Washington DC area.
While studying Authentic Pilates in New York City, Michelle was introduced to GYROTONIC®. Her history with GYROTONIC® includes working on some of the first GYROTONIC® pieces created by Juliu Horvath. She has been studying and working in the method since 2003.
