Michelle
Kerby, born
and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I was in the corporate
world for years, then I "saw the light" started training
with a Pilates Teacher who mentored and guided me well. I
eventually trained, certified and then owned and operated a
successful Pilates Studio in Tacoma, Washington before
relocating to Park City, Utah. I moved to Park City with my
awesome and outdoor-loving husband Mike and two awesome
labradors Floyd and Yukon. I teach "Intelligent Movement"
also known as Pilates. I have extensive Pilates education
and Physical Therapy exposure to enhance my knowledge. My
Pilates Certifications include; PhysicalMind
Institute - NYC, Polestar
Pilates - Florida. The Polestar
curriculum was designed by Physical Therapist and
Orthopedic Certified Specialist and is based on a
scientific foundation of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics
and motor control, and integrates scientific research
findings in the areas of orthopedics, sports medicine and
movement science. I am also certified by the
governing body for top Pilates Professionals,
The
Pilates Method Alliance.
A Seattle Native with Hawaiian ancestry, I have always had
movement, dance and music in my life. A figure skater of
more than 15 years, avid mountain climber, skier, mountain
biker, skier (skate, downhill & cross-country) ,
hiker....there is nothing about this magical place we live
I don't love. We moved to Park City in October 2007 where I
relocated my studio. I wanted to scale it down to focus on
teaching pilates v.s. the business of running a big pilates
studio. Active in the community and passionate about what I
do, I have created a more exclusive, private location,
catering to some of our world-class US Ski Team members as
well as our equestrian and local athletic population. I am
fortunate to meet some lucky visitors who come to Park City
for the Sundance Film Festival, winter sports and our
amazing summers. My studio is perfect for those who desire
privacy and a place to focus.
I continue my growth and learning by studying under some of
Pilates most senior teachers, elders and movement
specialists ( Brent Anderson, PhD., Mary Bowen, Rael
Isacowitz, "the late" Kathy Grant, Rebecca Leone, Michele
Larsson, Alan Herdman, Leslie Powell). I frequently attend
continuing education classes, private pilates sessions from
senior level instructors as well as maintain active
membership with the PMA Pilates Method Alliance and other
movement practices.
It is very important to create a comfortable learning
environment where there is privacy, professionalism and
exclusivity. This has been well received in the Park City
area and my clients have all appreciated this. The best way
to find me is by referral. I don't advertise for this
specific reason, I let my clients be my advocates. There is
no better compliment.
I am very happy to be living in Park City. I take great
pride in my clients experience, giving you only the best I
have to offer. I hope to share in the experience with you,
should you live here or are just visiting. Email me
