Meet Michelle
I've been running Essence of Living for over 19 years and more than one million students have passed through our humble doors! Sharing the teachings of Yoga and Pilates is truly my calling and I feel so incredibly blessed to be here doing what I love most!
I believe all of the best teachers are committed students, so while I have already completed countless tranings and sat with some of the world's greatest teachers, I am forever learning and growing.
Essence of Living offers teacher tranings, retreats, community classes and workshop, but even more deeply we are a support network, a community and a home away from home. I can't wait to support you to breathe, bend and blossom!

get in touchNew Yin Yoga Sessions!
With the Recovery & Massage Centre
We are so excited to announce that we have joined forces with the Recovery & Massage Centre to offer the ultimate full body bliss session.
STRETCH + SOAK for only $35!!!
Starting August 6th my good friends & I will be offering weekly Yin Yoga classes in Miami.
This is the perfect self-care session suitable for all ages & abilities.
Yin Yoga is a new name for an old practice of gently stretching the connective tissue (fascia) through slow stretches that are primarily seated or reclined.
Yin Yoga postures support deep relaxation, restoration & inner silence, encouraging the practitioner to slow down, breathe deeply & let go. This practice will increase both circulation & flexibility of the body & that’s not even mentioning the many health benefits of hot cold therapy, dancing between ice bathing & mineral pool soaking.
For the ultimate self-love session you can upgrade & add a 30min sauna session for only $17.50 (limited availability & bookings essential)!

Forest Bathing
What is Forest Bathing
It’s a new name for an ancient practice that has been enjoyed since the beginning of time by First Nations people across all lands, seas and skies.
The modern practice we call today “Forest Bathing” was a Japanese Government initiative to counteract the acute stress and anxiety the Japanese people were experiencing due to the fast paced and high-pressured working conditions of the culture.

Michelle, is a wealth of yogic knowledge and delivers no nonsense creative vinyasa flow classes that constantly evolve and challenge me. I go to her classes to be inspired and move my body in new ways I had not previously thought possible. Michelle is kind yet pragmatic and always focuses on safety first. Best of all is her authenticity. Michelle embodies and lives her talk.

Life changing - every person I have seen come out the other side of Essence trainings is more grounded, confident & purposeful – the difference is chalk and cheese. Michelle empowers you with the skills not only to be an outstanding Yoga, Pilates or Barre teacher, but with the tools of inner reflection to forever be a student of life. Its also super fun - #winnnnnnninggggg
