Marie-Michelle Faber is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved and active Registered Yoga School (RYS).

Marie-Michelle Faber began artistic gymnastics at the age of five and quickly developed elite skills.

Captivated by her sport, she devoted herself for 12 years to deepen her knowledge and agility.  A small jump in high diving allowed her to discover a new dimension of spatial orientation—dropping head first into the water!

Twisting, jumping and flipping between air and ground have enabled her to acquire courage, determination, perseverance, concentration and a finely tuned control of her body movements.

Since 1998, Marie-Michelle has performed as an aerialist specialist with the prestigious and well-known circus company, Cirque du Soleil.  She performs an average of 400 shows per year (over 5000 shows) , 8 to 10 shows per week.

Being an aerialist is a risky job that requires mental focus, precision, accurate movements and a healthy body, as well as the ability to manage fatigue, stress, discomfort, excitement and pain.

Her circus career has been a journey of fulfilling learning and constant discoveries of the control and mastery of one’s body, emotions and thoughts.

Aside from circus, she received private training and formation by Guru Senthil Kumar (Ph.D) in traditional Ashtanga Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in Coonoor, India. She has also received specific formations in Yin Yoga by Bernie Clark and recently in Prenatal Yoga with Clare Newman and Dre De Gasquet in Postnatal. 

With her dedication and creative spirit, Marie-Michelle worked in collaboration with co-founder Geneviève Bérubé to develop AIR Yogalates method.
