About Miguel Silva
Born in the city of Porto, Portugal, Miguel inherited at an early age his father's taste for physical activity. He practiced many sports including handball, basketball, football, field hockey, cycling, swimming, and surfing. All this interest in varied physical activity led him to truly understand that every human body is different and has different needs.
During his two years in the UK, Miguel started the practice of Yoga, increasing his interests in the body with an entirely different concept from his regular fitness regime. When back in Portugal, Miguel began his studies in Alternative Medicine, specializing in Shiatsu, Japanese massage technique, then later settled in Seville, Spain, perfecting the technique.
This is where he first experienced the Pilates Method. Miguel suffered from back pain due to his posture and muscle tightness, which limited the practice of his favourite sport, surfing. Through the practice of Pilates, he improved his surfing, gained flexibility, and practically eliminated the consistent pain in his lower back.
His curiosity of the Pilates Method and its depth led to several courses and workshops and the eventual founding of UnoPilates School in 2011. Miguel's school now has two locations - Almadena, Portugal and Zurich, Switzerland. In 2015 Miguel was one of 12 selected to enter the highly regarded certification program “The Work” at Vintage Pilates Studio under the mentorship of Jay Grimes, which he completed in 2016. When he’s not teaching for his school or working in his studio, Miguel can be found as a guest lecturer for conferences and workshops around the world.
