Miranda Knox is blessed with the opportunity to teach and practice Pilates at Live Well Studio.  She had always heard of it, but as a yoga teacher she was slightly skeptical to split her energy between the two.  It was not until working at Live Well Studio that she was given the opportunity to fall in love with Pilates.  She began training with Kristina Ender, Antigone Cook, and Sussanne Maleki.  Her interest in Pilates mat encouraged her to merge pilates into her yoga classes, and she began teaching a mixed style class called, Core Flow Yoga.  When she began teaching pilates equipments her natural ability to inspire concentration, alignment, and health blossomed.  She is currently training with Shelly Stephensen of Balanced Body to complete her official certification.  Her private classes are offered at a Pilates Apprentice rate.  She incorporates her knowledge as a yoga teacher, fitness teacher, and pilates teacher to help students achieve their wellness goals.  Click here for fun facts about Miranda.
