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.

 


Sabrina Rose began her yoga journey in 2017 in Greensboro, North Carolina. At the time, she was in rigorous and competitive psychology Ph.D. program and was primarily looking to improve her strength and flexibility. After here first yoga class, she was blown away by the profound sense of inner peace she experienced. Logically, she couldn't explain why her "problems" felt so much smaller after practicing. She never looked back and dove in head first, taking classes 6 to 7 days a week at every yoga studio in her small home town.
One year later, she decided to obtain her 200 hr YTT with her mentor, Chloe Nickles of Lotus Yoga Academy (Winston-Salem, North Carolina). She studied all types of yoga but with a special emphasis on Ashtanga Yoga. For the next 3 years, Sabrina honed her Ashtanga home practice and taught at a variety of different yoga studios and gyms. 
In August of 2021, Sabrina then traveled to Greece to obtain her 500 hour certification with Yoga Skyros Academy. Here, the focus was on Hatha yoga, with special emphasis on chakra healing, adjustments, chanting, and the spiritual aspects of yoga. 
Upon returning to the states, Sabrina decided she had learned all she could form the small yoga community in North Carolina and relocated to Los Angeles in September to start a new life. 
Students can expect to leave Sabrina's class with a sense of inner peach and physical power. Sabrina loves teaching yoga because she knows how truly life changing the practice is and knows it is her life's mission to impart this gift to others.
