"Hatha yoga is not body-bending business. It is about taking charge of the way you think, feel, and perceive life." - Sadhguru
Have you noticed, when you are happy, you seem to have endless energy! You are more productive, more fun to be around, and you don’t let anything stand in your way.
If a little happiness can have such an impact, imagine if you could also boost the way your body, mind and energy system work. This is what Yoga can do for you.
Much more than just being physical stretches or balancing postures, the timeless science of Yoga has powerful practices to help us create a physically healthy body, a sharp mind, stable and exuberant emotions and a vibrant energy system.
We’ll never be able to 100% control what happens around us, but we CAN take charge of our inner experience. Yoga means to be in perfect tune. Your body, mind and spirit and the existence are in absolute harmony.
Once this happens, the best of your abilities will naturally flow out of you and you will find you can simply and naturally do things you never imagined possible! This is the experience of any number of people who have started doing yogic practices.

"We want to take the physical form beyond its present level of limitations. In a way, Hatha Yoga means you want to make your comfort zone universal, instead of the small band that it is right now. Wherever and however you may be, you are at ease. You can naturally achieve a chemistry of health, joy, blissfulness and above all, balance. It is a very powerful way of living. Power, not over somebody else; it’s all about power to access life." - Sadhguru

Testimonials
“I would like to take this opportunity to place on record my appreciation for all your efforts at promoting yoga and meditation.” – Ambassador Anjali Prasad
"High professionalism & superb dedication leading to well-being and balance.
As she was taught yoga in India, her approach differs from this of “locally made” trainers, not only in terms that she can teach unique programs, but the way she transmits the knowledge.
She is very attentive both to the group and to each student individual “struggle” with asanas, completely focused to the feedback you need to get to improve. I was amazed by the level of concentration she has and the amount of questions she would be answering before the course for you to be sure that you are doing exactly that practice of yoga, which will correspond your needs in life.
During correction session that Michelle is providing, if needed, to ensure you are going the right direction, I had a new chance to see her expertise and impressive attention to the smallest details.
Priceless value!" - Anastasiya Korotkova
"Fantastic! Very well organised, calm and relaxed but at the same time fresh and exciting.
I honestly don‘t know what you could have done better. It was definitely close to perfection. The atmosphere with the spray of flowers, the incense sticks and the videos of Sadhguru was magical. In that atmosphere... time just flew. After the class, I felt fresh and energized.
Michelle was a very nice and professional teacher. She is very intelligent and has a lot of compassion and patience even with the laziest students like myself ;-) and always has a very warm smile on her face and helps with all kinds of questions. Maybe she is the best teacher I’ve ever had... Even in this short time I learned so much from her beyond the practice. I learned things about food which changed my everyday diet for example. I bow down to her!" - Jonas Gajendra
"very well-organized and taught in a very professional, dedicated, mature and caring way. I felt challenged and pushed, yet with plenty of guidance and attention" - Olli Kovarzina
