About Your Pilates Instructor
Meet Hazel Lee, Certified Pilates Instructor
I've been practicing Pilates as a client for over 10 years before becoming fully certified as a Pilates instructor. I understand firsthand — from a client's perspective — what makes a private Pilates session effective, and what can feel uncomfortable or intimidating.
I've completed over 500 hours of training through the Polestar Comprehensive Pilates Training Program and have worked with clients managing stenosis, disc pain, shoulder pain, Parkinson's, scoliosis, and osteoporosis.
Originally from South Korea, I studied Statistics at the University of Michigan before pursuing Pilates full-time. Every body is different — which is exactly why a tailored, one-on-one approach is essential.
"Kahala — in Hawaiian, 'all paddling together.' I paddle alongside my clients, observing, listening, and guiding them to the best of my ability."
