Michele is an international Jivamukti Yoga Teacher, Natural Foods Chef & Ayurveda Educator currently living on the north shore of Maui. Michele began her spiritual journey upon retiring from high-level competitive gymnastics over a decade ago. In this transition she lost direction, purpose and inspiration which catapulted her onto a spiritual path of Self-discovery. Through the practices of meditation, mantra and yoga she finds a sanctuary of peace amidst the chaos and continuously gains insight into this gift of life. Michele values deep self-listening as a way to refine awareness and reshape habitual patterns in order to experience the full spectrum of a life well nourished. She is a diverse teacher, skillful in distilling the time-honored teachings of yoga and Ayurveda in a way that is accessible and relevant to modern living. Michele’s classes are designed to encourage artful balance through creative sequencing, sacred sound, strength diversity and deep stretching. You will leave feeling clear and spacious, deeply nourished, and inspired. She is grateful for the teachings of Sharon Gannon and David Life, as well as, Anandra George of The Heart of Sound and Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Geonka. Michele is a 500-hour Experienced Yoga Teacher.
