With a passion for movement and mindfulness, Michelle supports her students in their personal wellness journeys. Her approach emphasizes breathwork, alignment, and the synergy between body and mind. Her goal is to empower students to deepen their self-awareness as they build strength and flexibility both physically and mentally. She discovered yoga as a powerful tool to manage chronic illness as well as the stresses of everyday life that we all experience. 

Michelle has been a student of yoga since moving to New Bern from Cleveland, OH in 2014. It didn’t take long for her to set a goal of teaching yoga after retiring from her full-time position at Craven CC. Beyond the mat, she strives to live holistically, integrating meditation, mindfulness techniques, healthy eating and self-care practices into her daily routine. Off the mat, Michelle spends her time with her husband and their dog, walking, gardening, traveling and reading.
