Michele Gunderson

Michele has a gift for inspiring students to reach beyond themselves to achieve new heights in their writing, their yoga, and their lives.

One of her greatest joys is to pass on the wonder and beauty of a life filled with the deep peace of yoga and the joy of creative expression. Her students find that they sleep better, laugh and move more easily, and smile more often.

Michele's passion for writing and yoga began early, from her story writing as a child to her diligent practice of Richard Hittleman's Yoga: Twenty-Eight Day Exercise Plan as a teenager. After several years as a fitness instructor, she rediscovered yoga in a modern dance class in the mid-1990s. An Iyengar yoga teacher trained at the Yoga Studio and internationally certified at the Junior Intermediate I level through the Iyengar Yoga Association of Canada (IYAC).

In her classes, writing becomes a meditation, an entryway into a greater sense of presence, self-awareness, and peace.
