Everything’s better after yoga. Michelle believes each practice has something unique to offer, and the gifts of the practice will differ from day to day. You might expand past your own definitions, actually rest, leave with a new perspective, let your body stretch and express and celebrate.

Michelle began practicing in 1996 and has been inspired and transformed by the practice daily since. Weaving poetry, music and spiritual focus into her classes, she seeks to balance the seriousness of the practice with laughter, joy and fun.

“Be like the bee who seeks the nectar of many flowers…and then make your own honey.” After all, it’s all yoga.
