We are excited to welcome Sharon Michels back to our Jenkintown studio to present a Class on Breathing.

Breathing! It is essential to life!

Breathing is the foundation of our method, and retraining your respiration can transform your practice. Mindful breathing strengthens your core, deepens your connection to the pelvic floor, and eases tension in the neck and shoulders, improving your range of motion along the way.

Sharon Michels is a movement educator, nurse, and holistic practitioner who integrates over 30 years of body-centered expertise to help people move with greater ease and confidence.

A licensed massage therapist, certified Romana's Pilates instructor, and former physical therapist assistant, Sharon brings deep practical knowledge of breath, biomechanics, and functional movement. Her master's degree in kinesiology and board certifications in rehabilitation and holistic nursing provide a rigorous foundation for her integrative approach.

Currently a registered nurse at Jefferson Health–Lehigh Valley and instructor in the Holistic Nursing Certification Program, Sharon is pursuing her doctorate while teaching Pilates-based movement that emphasizes breath mechanics, pelvic floor integration, and rib cage mobility. She excels at making complex concepts accessible and empowering clients to support both body and nervous system.

They are now working with June in her Rydal studio, observing lessons, honing their teaching skills and preparing for their first test.

We invite you to book a lesson with our apprentices, always supervised by June Hines. To sign up, use the MindBody scheduling system, or contact June at 267-312-7607 or [email protected].

Leanne Louden
Leanne is a Registered Dietitian who holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in nutrition. Before beginning her apprenticeship with June Hines Pilates, she spent 10 years working in college athletics. Leanne’s passion for movement started in childhood with dance, and she fell in love with Pilates for its mind-body connection. In addition to Pilates, she likes to keep active by running, walking and weightlifting. Outside the studio, Leanne enjoys taking care of her houseplants, skincare, cooking, shopping, knitting and drinking matcha. One of her favorite foods is soup, and she will enjoy a bowl even on the hottest days of summer.

Join June Hines for a Pop-Up Class exploring the skeleton and how it connects to the work we do in Pilates. Our exercises strengthen the muscles and soft tissue that support the skeletal system, and understanding how our joints move helps us protect and support them. June will break down the basics of bone anatomy in clear, simple terms, so you leave with a better understanding of how your body is built and how to move well within it.

Gun Yong Lee
Gun Yong brings a deep-rooted passion for movement to June Hines Pilates, where she is currently observing and learning as a Romana's Pilates Apprentice. Her journey in wellness began in South Korea as a Yoga instructor, which naturally evolved into training under Power Pilates and teaching. She fell in love with body alignment and functional movement. Guided by her belief in lifelong learning, she is dedicated to absorbing the authentic classical method, expanding her English, and warmly connecting with the JHPilates community. While her current focus is on observation and study rather than direct teaching, Gyn Yong finds immense joy in witnessing clients' progress and sharing the transformative energy of Pilates. Outside the studio, she enjoys spending quality time with her family, building strength and endurance through outdoor running and dumbbell workouts and reading and discussing English books and topics of interest with friends.

Know Your Legs: Alignment & Pilates 🦵✨
Every body is built differently! Understanding your unique skeletal alignment completely changes how you approach your workouts. This month, we’re breaking down three common leg structures:
• Straight Legs: Hip, knee, and ankle align perfectly, moving weight efficiently through the joints. Your goal: Maintain this strong, stacked alignment as you move.
• Bow-Legged: Knees curve outward, falling away from the midline. Your goal: Build inner strength by drawing the inner thighs together and lengthening the inner leg line for stability.
• Knock-Kneed: Knees angle inward, collapsing toward the midline. Your goal: Fire up the outer hips and thighs to help your knees track safely over your toes.
No matter your structure, Pilates meets you where you are to build strength exactly where you need it. Fun fact: Joseph Pilates himself was bow-legged! He created this method because he understood firsthand that every body has its own unique challenges.
Which alignment sounds like you? Let us know below! 👇

Welcome to October! Life moves fast, but the classic teachings in Joseph Pilates’ books, Your Health and Return to Life through Contrology, remain the ultimate guide to staying strong. On the cover of Your Health, Joe compared the human spine to a stack of building blocks. When the autumn rush hits, keeping those blocks balanced can feel like a major challenge.
