“As a recent graduate of Orthopedic Yoga Teacher Training, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this program. Each of the staff and guest instructors at brought a unique and rich background. Together they create a clearing house for all things somatically enlightening, deliciously vital, and socially conscious, synergistically layering these dimensions to create a yoga education of truly vibrant depth.  The keystone of this program is Michelle’s extraordinarily detailed understanding of the human body, and her wealth of experience conveying that understanding to others. With passion, humor, and great detail, she guides teacher-trainees in learning to see and communicate such ecstatically aligned asana practice. I feel genuinely fortunate to have been a part of this program.”

“As a practicing massage therapist for over 5 years, I began to fall more in love with the human body and how to properly take care of it.  I decided I wanted to venture off to start my own business specializing in sports massage and self-care for crossfit athletes.  This seemed like the perfect time to become a yoga instructor.  I researched every program from the south shore up into Boston to find the best fit.  What caught my eye most about Michelle’s program was the emphasis on anatomy and the human body.  I couldn’t have chosen a better program.  It gave me the functional and therapeutic baseline I needed to start my practice and supplemented the work I had already been working so hard on.  The program’s schedule worked great for me so that it didn't interfere too much with booking clients.  Being an anatomy nerd myself, I would find it hard to believe you would get the same education for the same price anywhere else.  Michelle is an open source of information and variety.  You can take what you want from her classes.  I wouldn’t have wanted to get started anywhere else.  Thank you Michelle!”

“Wow, what a great day listening and learning from such an amazing teacher. Michelle is so knowledgeable about anatomy and yoga and cares so deeply about training competent, compassionate and thoughtful teachers. I can't say enough positive things about her and her Yoga teacher training.”

- Lisa Segal, on Michelle’s Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers Class

“I left the medical field to become an Orthopedic Yoga Therapist through Sanctuary Studios. I now show people that the “legitimate” medical status quo is not always the answer and the ability of your body to handle pain and to repair itself has been with us for millennia. Thank you Michelle for giving me my life back and giving me the education to help others live a happy pain free life. Namaste.”
