Discover the transformative benefits of personalized practice

If you're struggling with pain, restricted movement, or the emotional toll of physical discomfort, working with Michelle can offer a gentle, deeply supportive way to move toward healing. Every session she offers is crafted just for you — whether you're brand new to yoga or have practiced before.

Here are some of the powerful benefits you can experience with Michelle's yoga:

Research shows yoga can ease long-term pain, including low back pain, while also enhancing mobility and daily functioning.

Yoga can lower stress and anxiety, help regulate mood, and support self-awareness — providing you tools to better cope with life's ups and downs.

Through mindful movement, you'll build sustainable strength and increase your flexibility, which supports better posture and reduces injury risk.

Yoga helps you develop better stability and alignment, making everyday movement smoother and safer.

As part of a rehabilitation approach, yoga contributes to healing by enhancing mobility, reducing pain, and supporting emotional recovery.

Yoga has been associated with reductions in inflammatory markers like TNF-α and stress hormones — fostering a healthier internal environment.

Therapeutic yoga programs have been shown to improve sleep, helping you rest more deeply and wake up feeling refreshed.

In building awareness of your body and breath, yoga helps you to develop greater equanimity and cultivate presence, and very often results in profound healing.

Yoga not only supports immediate symptom relief but also enhances long-term recovery and quality of life when integrated into a holistic wellness plan.

Beyond physical relief, yoga has been shown to increase overall quality of life, positively impacting mood, function, and social and emotional health.

Michelle tailors each session to your unique body, making yoga accessible, safe, and effective for a wide range of needs — even if you're managing chronic conditions like arthritis or back pain.

Working with Michelle isn't just about doing yoga — it's about reclaiming a sense of ease and confidence in your body, building tools to manage stress, and finding a holistic support system that truly listens to your needs.

Michelle Blake Yoga is not just yoga. It's a superior workout for improving your agility, health and overall well-being. I can absolutely guarantee you'll love her classes.

Not only physically but mentally, as she closes every class with a meditation segment guided by her mindfulness healing voice.

When you join a session with Michelle, she gives everyone her attention and you feel you are important. She worked to help me sit tall and straight. She is courteous, sincere, and she goes out of her way to help answer your questions.

I've been taking Michelle's classes since 2010. As a former Division One football player who is now a senior citizen, I know the importance of taking care of your body. Michelle's instructions have proven to be an invaluable resource for me. She has helped me improve my flexibility, gain better control of my breathing, and gain understanding in having a mind- body connection through her yoga and Pilates instruction. I count it as a blessing to have had Michelle as an instructor over the years.
