Michele brings a unique perspective to the yoga community through her life experiences as a mother, yoga teacher, and many years in the healthcare industry as a pharmacist in a spinal cord rehab hospital. She is an eRYT200 hour registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. She has also completed more than 100 hours and all 3 levels of Aerial Yoga training from Circusoul Flying Yoga with continued education in Aerial Vinyasa Flow. From there she started the company Flying Beach Yoga, so that aerial yoga would have a presence in the local community as well as different social media outlets like www.FlyingBeachYoga.com, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. She has also completed 40 hours of In Depth Power Yoga Training Immersion with Bryan Kest of Santa Monica Power Yoga and Meditation.
Michele has completed a children’s’ yoga teaching course with Jamie Amor, RYT of Cosmic Kids Yoga so that she has an in-depth understanding of how to share the many benefits of yoga with kids in our local community. She also shares kids yoga through the website www.KulaYogaKids.com and on the Kula Yoga Kids Facebook page. She owns and runs the Kula Yoga Kids After School Program that teaches yoga and mindfulness to the children of her community.
Although she has practiced many different types of yoga for over 20 years, her main focus is Aerial Yoga as she discovered it in 2013 and instantly loved it as it provided instant relief from her neck and upper back pain from a skiing injury many years before. As yoga has drastically improved her quality of life, she felt it was too beneficial physically, mentally, and spiritually not to share it with others.
Currently she teaches Aerial Yoga, Childrens Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra at Kula Yoga Studio in Port Orange, FL, Kula Yoga Studio in New Smyrna Beach, FL, Altamonte Springs Yoga, and offers seasonal Beach Yoga and Private Sessions.
