Michelle's passion for Yoga began in 2008, and she has continued to expand her knowledge and expertise in the field. She holds a BSc (Hons) degree in Sports and Exercise Science, graduating from Buckinghamshire University in 2014.

Throughout her career, Michelle has developed a particular focus on women's health during pregnancy and postpartum. She works with both professional and recreational athletes, helping them optimise their performance, reduce the risk of injury, and maintain balance in reciprocal muscle groups. Additionally, Michelle specialises in working with individuals over 45, helping them maintain strength, agility, good posture, suppleness, and healthy movement patterns.
Michelle's teaching approach centres around building students' awareness of how the muscular system, breath, and bandhas (locks) contribute to aligning the skeletal structure and creating integrity in each pose. This focus ensures the safety of her students while building a strong foundation for their yoga practise.
In addition to the physical aspects of yoga, Michelle also incorporates pranayama (breathing techniques), mindfulness, meditation, and mudras (hand gestures) into her sessions. These practises cultivate overall well-being, alleviate stress, and promote a calm and focused mind.
Michelle also offers corporate retreats tailored to the specific needs of businesses. Whether it's a regular class, virtual or face-to-face sessions, or a one-time event, yoga in the workplace can improve productivity, promote cohesion, and raise morale. By incorporating yoga into the office environment, stress levels can be reduced, leading to a healthier and happier workforce. Michelle understands the effects of prolonged periods of working at a PC or laptop, and she incorporates yoga to counter the physical effects, such as back, shoulder, or wrist pain.
