Hola! Mucho gusto.
My name is Michelle, and I am a yogaholic. Yoga has saved my life 10,000 times over the past three plus decades. Thanks to the practice, I’ve managed to stay sane and to thrive. I’m an authentic, joyful, peaceful yogi, mother, partner, writer, poet, editor, translator, teacher, and retreat leader.
I’ve taught yoga since 2002 and led retreats since 2010. I live with human and fur family on magical Lake Atitlan in the western highlands of Guatemala.
Let’s retreat together
Fill out this form and I will be in touch shortly!
“Michelle is a joy to retreat with. Her decades of experience in yoga and mindfulness combined with her unique understandings of the Mayan cosmovision and traditional breath work practices gives her offerings a rich and grounded feel. She has provided me with inspirations and insights to deepen my practice.” ~ Ash
“I can’t even begin to describe what an incredible adventure I had on retreat with Michelle & Ash in Guatemala. They are both such kind, open-minded, and talented people; it is a joy to be led by them both in yoga & in learning the history and culture of a new place. I can’t imagine a better way to explore, or better people to be with, on retreat.” ~ Caroline
I have had several yoga sessions with Michelle, and even though I am a yoga noobie I always felt so encouraged and inspired after our sessions together. Michelle is an incredible yoga leader, patient, calming, authentic and kind. ~Morgan
