Being a full-time stay at home mom with two children, I had little time for myself. I found Michelle, and Exotica in Motion in the pages of Albuquerque Magazine. That day changed my life! The physical benefits of pole dancing are HUGE! I lost an entire jean size in only six power pole classes! I have lost a total of nine inches since starting Exotica in November of 2008. I am in the best shape I have ever been in, and still improving with every class!

I have found the woman that, I forgot that I could be! Being a mom and a wife, I had lost sight of me! I lost sight of being a woman. Last year, if you asked me what I loved to do, I could not have given you an answer. I could tell you what my kids loved to do and what my husband loved to do, but not me. Exotica in Motion and Michelle have helped me rediscover my love for dancing and music and have once again, made me feel beautiful and absolutely confident! I have so much more energy for my family now, but more importantly, I feel strong and confident and sexy! My body is changing before my very eyes, and I am so excited about it! I want every woman to know this feeling! Thank you Michelle, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me find ME!!! You are an amazing woman and I love you!!! -Tori Doyle

I didn’t know what to expect when I took my first anti-gravity yoga class. All I knew is that I wanted to see a transformation in myself physically. Having had a baby a year ago, I was stuck trying to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. Although I was working out several times a week and changing my eating habits, I was seeing very little weight loss. I started anti-gravity yoga three times per week and something amazing happened. After a few classes, I began getting noticeably stronger. The low back pain that I had been having since my son was born disappeared, and I began to notice my flexibility improving. Even my energy level increased. I started noticing that I was much less critical of my body as I saw it changing before my eyes. In eight weeks, I have lost 8 pounds and 11 inches. I feel stronger than I have in many years. I have seen amazing changes in myself both physically and mentally.

The anti-gravity yoga workout is unlike anything I’ve ever done. It is an amazing blend of yoga and strength/flexibility training. Not only does it provide a total body workout, but it reduces stress as well. The use of the hammock allows me to take full advantage of the exercises without feeling stress or pain in my joints. Not only is it effective, it is fun! I look forward to going to these classes each week. I can’t say enough about how much Michelle, Tori and Jennifer have created a supportive environment at Exotica in Motion. I have found an amazing community to assist me in reaching my goals. I encourage everyone to try these classes and see the results for themselves. – Lisa Sutter

I came to Exotica in Motion expecting an intense and fun workout, but I got much, much more than I ever expected! As a former athlete, I was not unfamiliar to intense workouts, but this is a total body workout unlike anything else I’ve experienced before. After the first workshop my physicality, strength and flexibility had grown and improved far exceeding my expectations! I was taken by surprise by not only the physical results and benefits I received but the results I’ve experienced in my mental well being completely blew me away!!!

These classes have improved my physical strength and flexibility, but they’ve transformed me mentally. There is something very magical that happens in these classes that is almost unexplainable. I am so thankful for the inner confidence I have gained! I am not the same woman I was before, I'm much stronger and more confidant. I look in the mirror with a different attitude and perspective. I’ve learned to accept and embrace myself in ways that can empower any woman beyond belief! I’ve learned that there was a whole sexual side of me that was just waiting to come out! If I could give any gift to my closest friends, I would give them the chance to experience these classes because I know it would transform their lives in a way that will impact them forever! - Jennifer Weiss

I have been dancing at Exotica in Motion for almost a year and it is amazing how much I have grown. These classes have not only helped me with my physical health, but how I look at myself in the mirror. I have found a whole new side to me that I never knew existed. In addition, the women I have met throught these dance classes have truly touched me. I recommend that every woman of every age should try Exotica in Motion because the positive physical and mental aspects of these classes will last you a lifetime. - Shannon
