"These are all special things Michelle brings: The elusive art of listening to what students say (not just with their voices), bringing anatomical understanding to the practice, trust, respecting limitations (physical, emotional, or other) and working with them to grow beyond them" -Caroline F

"Michelle's given my practice a deeper, more human quality. She's created and maintains a space that exists for real people. People who have kids and dogs and spouses and jobs that are sometimes crazy. She fosters a yoga that accepts and compassionately allows all the stuff that people bring to practice or that keeps them from practicing." - Barbara C

"I feel a lot more peace and acceptance which I think is lessening my stress. I liked that Michelle's suggestions were practical and doable and it was helpful to get the advice of working with what's going on instead of fighting it." -Lauren P
