Micaela Butcher is an altogether new breed of fitness instructor. Upon achieving her young goals (Minnesota state jump champion; U.S. national dance line competitor), she went on to major in art history at the University of Minnesota, shortly thereafter accepting a position at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan. Along the way, she has become well-versed in the arts of gymnastics, karate, ballet, flamenco, Pilates, belly dance, yoga and Core Fusion.

She trained rigorously with master Pilates instructor Jennifer Kries, creator of the Method Pilates program. From there, she proceeded to whirl her way through her belly dancing teacher's certification from Serena Studios in New York City. She then continued her expansion with innovative yoga instructors Charles and Lisa Matkin, under whose tutelage she emerged an exhilarated graduate of the Satsang Yoga Teacher Training Program.

Her most recent venture has delivered her to exhale where she has studied extensively with creative power duo Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp, masterminds of the Core Fusion technique. Under their watchful eye, Micaela has elevated her teaching prowess to the next plateau. Within all of these adventures, she has no doubt discovered her true calling. She finds great joy in helping brave travelers gain a deeper appreciation of their overall fitness and well-being. Her ongoing goal is to positively encourage all of those with whom she comes into contact to enliven the body, awaken the mind, engage the heart and electrify the soul. Micaela is absolutely thrilled to be a member of the amazing team at exhale.
