About Shelly
Hi I'm Shelly - founder of Kinetic Technique, STOTT Pilates instructor, Certified Personal Trainer, and Aerialist. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have spent my life participating in a diverse array of movement and fitness including a professional dance career, competitive gymnastics, Pilates, pole, flying trapeze, and aerial silks. I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology specializing in Pre-Physical Therapy with a Minor in Dance and am a certified Aerial Silks instructor through Aerial Physique, where I have the privilege of teaching at their headquarter studio in Los Angeles. The past 10 years of my life have been spent teaching various forms of fitness to people of all ages and backgrounds and I love every minute of it!
I like to integrate methodologies from many different disciplines into training whether it be things I have learned from yoga, gymnastics, Pilates, weight training, or calisthenics. I am on a constant search for new methods of movement and fitness that will help challenge myself and my clients in new ways. Given my background, I understand and emphasize the importance of the mind-body connection. My goal is for my clients to be better physically functioning humans who are strong, versatile, and mobile.
