Michelle
Asha Yoga Founder, Lead Trainer (200hr YTT), Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga & Meditation teacher
With a background in exercise science and over 20 years in the health and fitness industry, Michelle discovered yoga following a spinal injury, an experience that sparked a deeper exploration of healing through movement, breath and contemplative practice. This journey continues to shape her teaching, as she creates space for others to reconnect with their bodies and experience greater ease, presence and inner stillness.
A lead trainer at the Asha Yoga School, (E-RYT 500), Michelle delivers a Yoga Alliance certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, mentoring and guiding emerging teachers. Her offerings include Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga and meditation, offering inclusive, body-positive practices that support a more intuitive and compassionate relationship with movement.
Michelle leads retreats locally and internationally, creating intentional spaces for deep rest, connection and personal transformation. Her work gently invites a deeper connection with the Divine through embodied practice, reflection and community.
Teaching from a Christian frame of reference, she also values environmental stewardship and ethical living, weaving these into a grounded and meaningful approach to practice.
Michelle is based in Croydon, Melbourne.
