Michele Tandy
As a dancer, Michele was first introduced to Pilates in her early 20’s learning and teaching at Stefan Friese's Pilates Studio in Los Angeles, Ca. Continuing her love of dance she received scholarship to the University Of Utah where she earned her B.F.A. in Ballet. Michele’s appreciation forPilates continued to grow and evolve and over the years she has opened and owned several Pilates Studios in different locations across Southern California. She closed her last Pilates Studio in Oceanside, Ca. during Covid-19 in 2020.
In her Pilates journey she has earned full Pilates certifications from two contemporary schools completing her Master Teacher Training certifications in both. Her studio became a teacher training center for Body Arts & Science, Inc.
Michele's Pilates experience took a dramatic turn when she began studying with Jennfier Kries (a Romana certified teacher) in 2013 who introduced Michele to the Classical Pilates Method. She instantly fell in love with the benefits within this complete system and never looked back. She has since worked with many different teachers who have also followed the Classical Pilates teaching including Jay Grimes, Sonje Mayo, Darien Gold and most recently Jennie Groom with studio Flo. Michele is very excited to be teaching and learning with the exceptional team at Studio Flo in San Diego.
