Misha Giardina
Pilates Instructor
Misha is a classically trained professional ballet dancer having danced
with the Joffrey Ballet School and Oakland Ballet and has taken classes
from Master teachers from all over the The United States. Pilates has
been an integral part of her dance world starting at the age of 13 with
the ballet dancers calling it “Floor Barre,” Better known as Joseph
Pilates matt work. Having many knee and ankle injuries, she continually
came back to Pilates as part of her physical therapy. When her dance
career ended, she continued taking Pilates to stay fit and healthy and
also to keep her ballet body. Realizing she loved it so much and how it
helped all ages, body types, and injuries, she went on to get her Pilates
certification at the department of Dance, University of Nevada, Las
Vegas. Getting certified in 2006, she then went to work with Absolute
Pilates in Las Vegas and pursued her other artistic passion makeup,
working at MAC makeup. Today she is a freelance professional makeup
artist and is excited to be back in the Pilates studio teaching!
