Michele began practicing yoga eight years ago seeking a way to naturally decrease stress, and she discovered so much more! At Yoga Innovations, she found a community that allowed her to be my authentic self, a judgment free zone, and a place to explore her own self. Michele became grounded in the knowledge that she could enter those studio doors and allow the yoga flow to carry me away. Deciding to root down further, she enrolled in the 2020 teacher training, a journey for which I will be forever grateful. Here she formed enriching new friendships with her follow teachers and look forward to a future filled with yoga. Off her mat, you may find her assisting her husband with his floral event business or walking their lovable Papillion, Gable. Michele is an alumnus and adjunct professor of the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy with a Bachelor of Science in pharmacy and a master’s in health administration. Her peers describe her as a “catacomb”, meaning a passageway that houses knowledge, contemplative thinking, determination, and warmth.
