Michelle Schmitt - Yoga Instructor

Michelle began yoga practice at the age of 13 and continued practice throughout her life as an adjunct to high impact fitness activities.She has attended classes throughout the US and Europe over the years in the traditions of Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Integral ... As yoga began to displace the monotony of the gym, Michelle discovered Hot Yoga in Becky's first Williamsburg class....initially balking at the heat, Michelle never missed a class and became hooked on the healing and detoxifying feelings obtained from class, not to mention the aerobic stamina and personal strength!It was hot yoga that finally motivated Michelle to take the step to teacher certification and she received her certification last summer in Hot Yoga..By August of this year, she will obtain 200 hour RYT certification under the guidance and wisdom of famed American yoga teacher, Doug Swenson.

When not practicing yoga, Michelle can be found on a bosu or rebounder, sewing or gardening, homeschooling her two children, Alexandra and Connor, being golf-wife to hubby Bob, tending to critters (3 dogs and a cat), and working as an ICU nurse at Williamsburg Community Hospital.The internal mantra Michelle holds dear, "Live with intention, remember to breathe,practice kindness, and let go, life is what it is."
