Michele Hansen

Pilates Teacher, Long Beach

Inferno Hot Pilates & Bikram Yoga have completely transformed me and my life for the better. I started taking classes when I first got sober in 2016, which has helped me in ways I never could've imagined. The classes, culture, and lifestyle have helped me stay sober, gain confidence, learn to love myself and others, and strengthen myself- not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. The immensely positive impact it's had on my life is what drives me to serve my students in class. I want to pass on all of the wonderful gifts and miracles I've received onto my students and community. When I see my students tapping into their raw, innate strengths and pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones to make those gains, my heart lights up, and I am filled with so much joy and enthusiasm for them and our wonderful practices!
