Sage Movement

About Michelle Spore

Hi, I'm Michelle. Bridging the gap between fitness and medicine is what I do — and have for 10+ years, working with clients through a defined return-to-exercise window after surgery, injury, or a health event, and for others, becoming a long-term collaborator in their ongoing movement health.

That might mean returning to exercise once you're cleared by a physical therapist or another provider, or it might mean working through hypermobility, attention differences, pregnancy and postpartum changes, or simply a season where life has shifted and your old routine doesn't fit anymore.

What matters to me is what your body is actually walking through, what you need and enjoy in movement and exercise, and where you need structure versus room to adapt — not just today, but as things shift week to week. I come in with a plan, and shape it around what you need, what you like, and what you're working toward.

I also teach classes at Aham Yoga in Redmond, have contributed as a workshop presenter and anatomy faculty for yoga teacher trainings, and mentor yoga teachers from time to time.

I'm a mom, animal lover, a nature enthusiast, and a committed coffee drinker.

About Sage Movement

After founding and running Collab Fitness & Yoga, I evolved my practice into Sage Movement in 2023 — bridging the gap between provider care and independent movement by combining Western exercise science with therapeutic yoga and awareness-based movement. My approach helps you build real stability first, develop genuine movement intelligence, and keep progressing on your own terms from there.

Success Stories

She adapts quickly and modifies my sessions based on my ever-changing body and needs.
Daria S.
Michelle's ability to combine mindfulness and movement in a rewarding and empowered way is one of the many reasons I train with her monthly. She not only keeps things as simple as possible while getting maximum results, she's able to modify any exercise to accommodate my many injuries and limitations in real time as they come up. She listens, encourages and has this easy no bullsh*t attitude that I not only admire but keeps me coming back for more. If you're looking for real change with a workout that meshes into your daily life rather than disrupts it, honestly, look no further.
