Michelle Cottle, Owner of Reflexion
Pilates, GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Exercise Certified
B.F.A., Dance Performance
I can tailor sessions for anyone at any age, ability or fitness level. I enjoy offering my clients the opportunity to experience the fitness and healing possibilities of regular Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise.
My Background:
 
I am a former ballet and modern dancer with professional level training, earning my BFA in Dance Performance from SUNY Purchase. From many years of training and performing, I know the deep satisfaction of moving in a strong, joyful way.
I have also suffered chronic pain from injuries sustained in a life-changing car accident. While physical therapy with licensed physical therapists helped reduce my pain to manageable levels, I have been able to find lasting healing and pain relief only through my regular workouts in Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise. This inspired me to pursue certification so that I could share this level of healing with others.
My Certifications:
I am certified to teach Pilates through the Kane School of Core Integration in Manhattan, owned by Kelly Kane, Master Teacher. The Kane School offers training beyond the traditional Pilates choreography and approach through the study of anatomy and biomechanics. This education has developed my understanding of the body's functional movement possibilities to offer not only a complete workout but also to address common conditions such as spinal disk herniations, knee injuries, scoliosis, osteopenia/osteoporosis and pregnancy and post-natal recovery including diastasis recti and caesarean.
My certifications in Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise were granted by Juliu Horvath, Gyrotonic Creator. I am certified to teach on the Gyrotonic Handle Unit and Pulley Tower, the Gyrotonic Ladder and in the mat class format, Gyrokinesis. I have also completed additional studies designed by Mr. Horvath in Pregnancy and Post-Natal Applications and Gyrotonic Level II. On an ongoing basis, I increase my knowledge of Gyrotonic exercise through intensive study with Jennifer Daly and Chantal Deeble, Master Trainers and co-owners of Kinespirit studios in Manhattan.
