What Michelle teaches is not new-fangled gym yoga. It comes from an authentic and highly trusted source. 

Michelle is a certified Isha Hatha Yoga instructor who has worked in Geneva, Switzerland for the past 8 years. She was the first person to bring Sadhguru’s yoga practices to Switzerland, and she has collaborated with WHO, the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, Geneva, and the Indian Embassy in Bern, amongst others.

She has to date taught yoga on three continents, including in India and Central America.

She has been nominated by the Indian Embassy, in Bern, for the “Prime Minister’s award for outstanding contribution towards promotion and development of Yoga at a National and International Level”  and for the The Tällberg / Eliasson Global Leadership Prize.

“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
