Through many years of teaching experience and my own personal journey with yoga, I have come to believe that, with the right instructor, the benefits of yoga can be made available to everyone, regardless of age or physical capability. I also feel strongly that a “one size fits all” approach is discouraging and can lead to injury. Whether you are brand new to yoga, recovering from an injury, have a chronic health problem, pregnant, or are a seasoned practitioner, we can together co-create a practice that is exactly right for you.

Biography

It's hard to tell whether Michele Sapanaro embraced yoga, or whether yoga embraced her. Either way, it was a perfect match that united important streams into a powerful river whose currents have transformed her life. Michele's life-long interest in health and fitness expressed itself in dance, gymnastics and vegetarian cooking. Her natural gifts as a teacher, and her desire to touch and be touched by the exuberance of life led her to become a Certified Childbirth Educator, and prenatal and postpartum fitness instructor. These pursuits prepared Michele for the eventual integration that was yoga, culminating in her completion of Raji Thron's Yoga Synthesis Teachers' Training in 2004. Michele continues to study and practice Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Raji. She has completed Primary and Second Series, and is now exploring Third Series. Michele's greatest joy, however, is sharing the gift of yoga with others.
