Through the many styles in which she's experienced -- Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa flow, Hatha, Kundalini, Restorative, & Yin -- Michelle aims to cultivate a fluency in the body. By attuning to sensation, the body's way of communicating, an understanding of embodiment deepens. She delights in sharing communal spaces where curiosity, compassion, and intention thrive.  -- The Watertown Free Public Library does not discriminate and does not share your information with anyone.
