Montanna Michels

Pilates

Montanna has been practicing Pilates since age 12, and as a professional dancer, continued using Pilates as a supplement to her training. In 2024, she decided to enter the Classical Pilates Education (CPE) teacher training program to share her love of Pilates with others. Montanna has been dancing professionally since 2019, most notably with Nomada and Quixotic Entertainment, both in Kansas City. Montanna holds a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory, in addition to her 600hr comprehensive certification from CPE. She is so excited to share Classical Pilates with the St. Louis community!
