I recently had a privateyoga session with Michèle at my apartment, and I was truly impressed. Her expertise and knowledge were evident throughout the session, and she made me feel completely comfortable from start to finish. She tailored the practice to my needs, providing clear guidance and thoughtful adjustments that helped me feel both challenged and supported. Her calm and encouraging presence created a relaxing atmosphere, and I felt refreshed and grounded by the end of the session. I highly recommend Michèle for anyone looking for a professional, personalized yoga experience!
Details: 1 student (one-on-one with instructor) • 31 - 40 years old • No yoga preference • Beginner • Increased flexibility • General fitness (e.g., weight loss, toning) • My home, venue, etc.

We had so much fun!!! I asked Michele for some lessons as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. After the first one, we are super excited to continue. Michele got us onto the basics really quick and we were box stepping around the house the whole rest of the day. I think the best part so far is having actionable knowledge right away so we can practice, even if its super simple to start.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • Wedding party dance • Waltz • Swing Dance • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No song preference • No experience • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Discounts are offered for packages that are paid up front. Travel over 25 miles incurs $15 extra per lesson.
Full price for one 45 minute lesson - $85
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
On the first lesson we will discuss what they would like to get out of their dancing. Do you want to be a good social dancer? Do you want to be a competitor? Are you getting married? When is the wedding, where is the venue, what size is the dance floor, what shoes and dress are you wearing? They begin to learn how to dance. After seeing how the student learns, I can then make an educated recommendation of how long I think it will take the student to achieve their goal!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
A degree in Dance from LCC/MSU. Certified through Fred Astaire Dance Studios, Inc. to teach Bronze and Silver levels of Ballroom and Latin Dance. Extensive training in lifts and Argentine Tango. Certified through Shape Up NYC as a Fitness Instructor. Yoga training in Ashtanga, Restorative, Iyengar, and Pilates techniques.
