Michelle was first introduced to yoga in the autumn of 2001 while she was involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. She attended her first Bikram yoga class in her hometown of Vancouver, Canada shortly after, and knew from the beginning that she wanted to become a Bikram yoga teacher. As her love continually grew for Bikram yoga, Michelle realized how wonderfully complete this yoga form is as a physically, mentally, and spiritually energizing practice.

She attended Bikram yoga teacher training in the summer of 2004. After graduating from university in 2005 with a degree in exercise science, Michelle decided to leave her other work in the fitness industry behind and started to teach Bikram yoga full-time.

Since then, Michelle has been able to combine her passion for yoga and travel. Yoga has guided her through numerous amazing experiences around the world. Among many other opportunities, she has had the chance to teach in Hong Kong and Sweden, participate in an advanced yoga seminar with Bikram in Hawaii, attend an Ashtanga yoga course in Thailand, and hold hatha yoga classes by the beach in south Turkey.

In addition, Michelle was teaching Bikram yoga in Stockholm and Malmö over the past 2 years and is looking forward to spending more time in Sweden and in yoga.
