"Each and every one of Michelle’s classes are transformative, fun, healing, and challenging, yet accessible to all. If you want to learn to breathe deeply, stay in the present, and trust yourself- get to one of Michelle’s classes. If you are looking for a yoga practice where there is no judgement, but plenty of laughter, acceptance, and modifications offered- get to class! The only thing I would change is my own availability so that I could make it to more of her classes! She’s truly a light in the world and you leave her classes feeling like she has shed some of it on you. 💖"

"I have been a student of hers for over 7 years. She is the most amazing teacher that I have ever had the privilege of learning from. She is able to provide indepth education on poses and aligment, gentle guidance and repositioning when needed, and her energy is so uplifting and empowering. She is a powerful, bright, fun, and humble woman who will do anything to show you that you can do hard things! Her classes range from gentle to intense and she welcomes all, and will teach everyone how to fall in love with yoga, and essentially, fall in love with themselves. Thank you, for everything. 🥰"

-Denielle Sandoval

"I have been taking yoga classes for over 10 years,a good amount of them at a very nice studio in Boston called ,Core Power Yoga ! Michelle is my favorite yoga teacher ever. She has the skill, intuition and creativity that gives her teaching style a 10 star rating ! She has this way of integrating beginners and advanced students into a flow seamlessly! While teaching she describes the proper form of each pose so that you can strive to challenge yourself or move through it at a beginner or moderate level I drive 40 minutes to be able to attend her classes ! She is a gift to the community and the yoga world !"

-Ellen M

"Michelle is the best of the best! Her classes flow so well and anyone from first timer to experienced will get so much out of her classes. Not to mention she is one of the most creative people I know- which shows in her work and classes ❤️"

-Elizabeth Locas

"I have been going to this beautiful, creative yoga dealer for many years off and on and not just for yoga related classes. Michelle is extremely talented in various health and fitness levels and has traveled the world (literally) to gain the knowledge she so willingly shares!! Every class I've ever been apart of has been an experience well worth my time and energy. Shes thoughtful and enjoys exploring her own boundaries as well as helping you achieve your best self INSIDE and OUT. Real deal here folks."

-Vienna Wilde

"Michelle is such a brilliant, vibrant human being. I have been taking her classes for almost one year which says a lot because yoga was never really my thing. I absolutely LOVE that while she incorporates traditional yoga practices, her style of teaching is like no other. I enjoy her unique playlists so much so I follow her on Spotify and have even downloaded some. Michelle has a gift of making everyone feel seen, loved, valued and appreciated. It is truly a blessing to be in Michelle’s presence. She is a real life fairy to me and I am forever grateful to be able to share space with her. I am super thankful she always reminds me and so many others that we ARE enough, exactly as we are. 🙏🏻💛🧘🏼‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️"

-Christine Francis

"Michelle meets every student where they are! I feel supported and welcome in every class and intentionally plan my gym days around her schedule. I have enjoyed her power yoga, VIBE, and vinyasa flow classes at Sessions Wellness in Norwich. As someone new to hot yoga who is building up her strength, I never feel judged in Michelle’s classes (even when I’m running late)."

-Rachel Budd

"This is one of my regular yoga instructors and I love her classes. I love that she integrates authenticity for each individual who takes her classes. My favorite class is the Friday class. It's juicy!! Deep, but gentle stretching, breathing, singing bowls, and she will sing/chant sometimes. Her voice is angelic and offers great relaxation and meditation. Unlike many yoga instructors, Michelle shows up as authentically herself, not the normal stereo type of twisty, bendy, perfect, virtue box standing instructors. She has her own edge and she rocks it!!! I would give her 5 stars over and over again!"
