About
Hello! So lovely to cross paths with you today.
I am a Vinyasa yoga instructor, meditation coach, and overall supporter of my fellow humans. I started practicing yoga 10 years ago and now have the privilege of sharing this meaningful work with individuals and groups.
Learning yoga with me will invite you to explore unconditional love for your body. Body-positivity and loving acceptance are the throughline in every class. Everyone is welcome!
My classes are taught to beginners and advanced yogis alike.

With so many options in LA, yoga with Michelle feels like finding a hidden gem. She was always accommodating and flexible with our schedule and really took our needs into consideration when developing a routine for us. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of mindfulness, meditation, and a kick butt workout, I highly recommend working with Michelle.

Even though I've been doing yoga for a long time, I learned a lot in Michelle's class. She made adjustments and customized the movements just for me. Michelle has so much wisdom and knowledge when it comes to the spiritual practice and yoga that you can just feel it being in her presence. I love her class and I can't wait to take it again!

Before our practice even began, Michelle's calming presence warmly welcomed me to the mat. Both relaxing and invigorating, Michelle reminded me of why I love yoga—she emphasized the importance of listening to our bodies, remaining gently aware of our limits and our strengths. In particular, a breathing exercise she led felt like a revelatory way of managing negative emotions without judgement. I can't wait to join her for a class again <3

You'll be asked questions about your fitness goals and a personalized yoga plan will be built from there. Your first meeting will include a variety of poses and stretches to better assess what needs attention. Then, regular sessions will help you accomplish your strength and flexibility goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Certification from House of Om in Bali
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After a lifetime of avoiding being active, yoga was my intro into getting fit at age 22. It met me where I was at, which was total newbie with no flexibility. With dedicated and regular practice, I started to develop a new relationship with my body, one where I felt capable and in-tune.
