As a student, Michel began practising yoga in 1978, and has been teaching since 1983. Michel practiced Iyengar yoga and was a direct student of BKS Iyengar himself making regular trips to study under his teacher in Pune, India. Michel later discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, and after 1993 that became his primary focus. He studied directly under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India on several extended trips to India and now teaches and practices this powerful, ancient system of yoga himself.
Along with yoga, Michel has an extensive background in bodywork and postural alignment. He is an advanced Reiki practitioner and a certified Advanced Postural Integrator certified by Psycho-Physical institute of San Francisco. He also holds a certificate from the Gestalt Institute of Melbourne Australia.
Michel has been teaching 10 different countries and is accredited by IYTA (International Yoga Teacher Association) and Experience 500Hrs Yoga Alliance. Michel brings the depth of knowledge and years of experience into class.
In class, Michel gives clear guidance while listening to the needs of students' bodies without pushing or straining. He encourages students to take their practice very seriously-but not themselves"
