Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Drake.
Hi Michelle, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been teaching Pilates for about a decade, working with everyone from clients recovering from injuries to athletes and people simply wanting to feel stronger in their bodies. After years in traditional studios, I wanted to create something more personal and flexible, which led me to launch Lunar Pilates in San Diego in 2026. Lunar has evolved into private Pilates, corporate wellness, pop-ups, and curated movement experiences. At its heart, it’s about making movement feel welcoming, empowering, and genuinely enjoyable
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely not! Building a business has meant a lot of trial and error, learning what works, and being willing to pivot when something doesn’t. One of the biggest challenges has been balancing entrepreneurship with being a working single mom. My time is incredibly valuable, so I’ve had to learn to focus on the parts of Lunar that are both sustainable and meaningful. I’m still figuring things out as I go, but I think that willingness to adapt has become one of my greatest strengths as a business owner.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Lunar mobile Pilates ?
Lunar Pilates is a boutique, mobile wellness brand designed to bring movement beyond the traditional studio. I offer private Pilates, corporate wellness, pop-ups, and customized group experiences throughout San Diego. What sets Lunar apart is the personalized, creative approach—I want Pilates to feel welcoming, elevated, and fun, whether we’re working one-on-one or hosting a movement experience at a winery. I’m most proud of creating a brand that reflects my belief that Pilates is for every body, and that wellness doesn’t have to look or feel one particular way.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People can work with Lunar through private Pilates sessions, corporate wellness, pop-ups, and customized group experiences. I also love collaborating with local businesses, venues, and brands to create unique wellness events. The best way to support Lunar is to follow along, share the brand, attend an event, or simply reach out—I’m always excited to explore creative collaborations and new ways to bring movement into the community.
