ॐ भूर् भुवः स्वः। तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यम्। भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि। धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्।

Hi my name is Michelle. I am so happy you’ve found my page! Welcome….
I want to share my Yoga Journey with you – From teaching yoga classes in Costa Rica, to running a small, home yoga studio in the UK, to currently teaching live, online yoga classes whilst me and my family travel!
For over seven years, I lived in the breath taking mountain town of Monteverde in Costa Rica. I’ll never forget my first yoga class—it’s a memory etched deeply in my heart. It was in a beautiful studio called Rio Shanti, overlooking a magical cloud forest, alive with nature's sounds and energy. As I stepped onto my mat and immersed myself in breath and movement, a profound sense of peace washed over me. That experience ignited my love of yoga and eventually my passion to share yoga with others.
Before I did a yoga teacher training course I taught a few classes and people shared how much they enjoyed them. It felt like a calling and I decided to listen to my inner self. Becoming a certified yoga teacher—or "guide," as I prefer to say—was a pivotal moment in my life. Yoga has shaped who I am today, strengthening my body, nourishing my mind, and uplifting my spirit each time I step on to my mat.
Yoga teaches me the beauty of stepping away from constant activity. Each time I step on to my mat, I learn to embrace stillness and the simple joy of just being. This practice has also given me the tools to support others—a calling that has always felt deeply meaningful to me.
When I moved to the UK, I began teaching yoga in Tottington at a small studio. Over time, I transitioned to running classes from my small, home yoga studio, which I later moved to Ramsbottom. People who came to my classes shared how much they loved my home studio. However, in 2020, circumstances led me to close my studio.
Now me, my husband and my 5 year old son live in our self, converted camper van, travelling the world as a family. This has meant I’ve needed to embrace the digital world, which has and continues to be a big challenge for me! Currently I teach live, online yoga classes, bringing the practice to you in the comfort of your own home.
My vision is to transport you to a place of peace and connection, no matter where I may be teaching from in the world.
Yoga is a journey, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
