Additional Staff:

The adventure started in 2004. I loved the way yoga made me feel: greater awareness in my body and easier access to joy inside. When I took my first class with Keric Morinaga, I knew that I would be part of me forever. Yoga makes my life worth living and more meaningful. Yoga teaches me again and again that my Highest Self is beyond moments of self-doubt, fear or sorrow. It reminds me that I am not alone. I strive to uplift every student in every pose, whether it's "basic" or "advanced", or something in between. My training includes 200 Hour Anusara Teacher Training, 12 Hour Anusara Yoga for Pregnancy Teacher Training, Yoga Therapy Level 1 at Loyola Marymount University, and 300 hour Anusara Teacher Training. Thank you to my extraordinary teachers )Keric, Joy, Stone, Lori Rubenstein assay, Laura King, Jeff Bass) and to the students for showing me how to practice yoga and for changing my life.

Michelle began her yoga journey 12 years ago and found an instant love for the practice. She always had an affinity for wellness, spirituality, mysticism, and knowledge of self. Yoga opened up a door of healing and presence in her life and she continued to practice daily along with meditation, Ayurveda, and reiki. In 2017 she completed a 10 day Vipassana course and in 2019 she completed her 200 hr RYT training at La Casa Shambala in Thailand. Working in a Montessori preschool, Michelle became the children’s yoga teacher along with teaching private adult lessons. She began teaching in studios in 2022 and loves the collective energy of flowing together in a space. She teaches Vinyasa, Hatha, and yin style but also loves breathwork, chanting, dance, intuitive movement, and listening to what the body needs. She feels she is merely a vessel to share the medicine of yoga and a forever student.
