In 2015, Michelle earned her 200-HR  RYT certification and shortly after in 2017 she took her first yoga intensive with the Yoga North International SomaYoga Institute. Michelle delighted in the discovery of SomaYoga as the practices felt nourishing. She quickly started blending SomaYoga into her own practice and teaching style.

When Michelle isn’t on her mat, she enjoys time with husband, her two nearly launched sons, her daily dog walks and guiding herself and others through the nourishing practices of SomaYoga.
