It’s grown harder to label the style of yoga that Michelle teaches as it’s become a unique blend of her continuous studies in Katonah®, Yin and Restorative Yoga, Somatic Inquiry, Meditation, Taoism and the Breath. However, you can expect intentional, intuitive and bespoke sequences that leave you feeling informed, grounded and embodied.

You’ll find that Michelle’s love for the body, the breath, poetry and our seasonal inner nature is braided into all her sessions.

Pilates is an excellent workout for the core and overall body strength. Expect enhanced stability, mobility, stamina, flexibility and balance. All while promoting healthy joints and combining strengthening and stretching muscle groups on opposite sides of the body, to create balance and a greater postural alignment.

Miriam’s style of teaching is weaving classical pilates as a base with contemporary teachings like Garuda. The results are flows of exercises that challenge your mental strength as well as your physical abilities. All levels are welcome as this practice offers many adaptations within exercises.

In her organic and fluid classes you will explore movement patterns through play and curiosity. Finding pleasure within movement is at the very center. Miriam’s keen eye and experience with hands-on guidance gives you a unique and personalised experience. Awareness of the body, the breath, and movement for the fascia are essential in her classes.

Michelle often describes this specific style of Breathwork as couples therapy between you and you. It is a dynamic and active meditation technique that harnesses the intelligence of the breath, your breath, to help soften the analytical mind while supporting the body and the nervous system in an emotional and energetic release.

This practice can leave you feeling deeply grounded, less burdened, authentically you, and more at home within your body.

An introduction into the culture of seasonal, balanced and healthy cooking. We will be guided to mix organic ingredients, creating unique tasteful combinations inspired by traditional gastronomy.

Sound bath is a form of meditation that through sound and vibration promotes deep relaxation. By combining various musical instruments such as singing bowls and different chimes Miriam creates soundscapes. While you are resting and bathing in sounds, you can experience an expanded awareness, daydreaming, drifting in and out of states between being awake and sleeping.

The experience has been described as sounds and frequencies washing over your head, torso, arms, legs, and feet. A “sound bath” much like a water bath is something you relax your whole mind and body into, rather than something you just listen to. The frequencies and vibrations emitted from the instruments is known to ease our brain activity into a calm state. Sound waves have a pleasurable physical massage-like effect on the body as well.

Enjoy ‘sleep prep’ evenings where you’ll be guided through a 30-45 minute session to prepare for deep rest.
