Yin Yoga Online (Mixed Levels) – 12PM Central/1PM Eastern
Classes are 75 minutes.

Sarah Powers, the founder of Yin Yoga, developed an integrated approach to yoga that combines the principles of Chinese medicine, Buddhist philosophy, and Western anatomy. A key feature of Yin Yoga is the emphasis on Five Element Theory and the energy meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Yin is a meditative approach to yoga that emphasizes long-held, passive poses that target the deep connective tissues of the body.  It is taught through a lens of self-compassion and personal exploration, urging practitioners to slow down, cultivate presence, listen to their bodies and adjust postures to meet their individual needs.

About Michelle

Always having a nerd-level approach to anything I love, I have studied human anatomy extensively, learning yoga therapeutics and several kinds of bodywork, primarily using myofascial techniques in my sessions.  The combination of yoga and massage expertise offers me a more wholistic perspective of the body.  Truly a believer of Easts meets West, I possess a physiological understanding of the organ systems and how they intersect with the Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I’ve also studied several energy-healing methods and offer energetic healing sessions, commonly known as Reiki.

As much as I love bodywork, yoga is my greatest passion and nothing makes me happier than to share this ancient and wise practice as my vocation.  I’ve had the honor of studying with some of the best national teachers over the past 25 years, indeed being only a few degrees removed from some of the most venerated sages of India.  I especially enjoy teaching yoga in nature and I like to make yoga accessible by teaching safe, gentle, and achievable postures, in a welcoming, all-levels format.  In addition to poses, my classes include a big focus on breath/breathing techniques, and my greatest emphasis is on meditation practice and Eastern philosophy.

My intention for my students and clients is to feel their time with me was well-spent and they leave feeling nourished and nurtured.

I look forward to seeing you on the mat or table soon!
