I highly recommend taking a class with Michele. She is incredibly passionate, kind, and motivating, and she creates a strong foundation in classical Pilates for every level!

I've taken a few classes from Tamra at Movewell. She is so knowledgeable and patient. She's very light-hearted and a lot of fun to work with. I've learned a lot about my body for her.
