Michelle Kok

Michelle is a certified Polestar Allegro instructor, and has also completed the Polestar Studio course Phase 1 study. Her first contact with Pilates was during her study at NYU, and began regular practice in '04 to recover from a long term sports injury. Over the course of 6 years, she has constantly been amazed with the visible improvements people achieve with only minor changes in daily habits; and the urge to understand more began to set  in.  By chance, she started studying Polestar Pilates teaching courses and eventually switched out of her strategic branding career to become a full time Pilates instructor.

Michelle's innate desire to learn and dig deep, combined with strong communication & observation skills have given her the tools to understand and explain Pilates concepts in an understandable and interesting manner.  Her goal is to progress into Gyrotonic® and further her anatomy studies to provide a holistic workout for her clients. Michelle is passionate about teaching, and will always push her clients a little harder with the greatest amount of care.  She is happy that through teaching Pilates, she is helping others to give themselves the priceless gift of a healthy body.  She knows everyone will benefit from it and urges even the most active individuals to give Pilates a try.  See you in the studio!
