Hello and Welcome! My name is Michelle and I help people create greater ease, freedom, and power in their bodies and joy in their lives.
Through Michelle Blake Yoga℠, I offer private, semi-private, and large group online sessions that integrate a variety of modalities to gracefully produce the highest benefit for you.
My expertise lies in therapeutic movement, bodywork, meditation, and energy healing.
Fitness formats I currently teach include Yoga, Pilates, Barre, Functional Strength Training, Aqua Fitness, Dance and Meditation.
The bodywork modalities I am trained in and incorporate into our work include The Melt Method, Yamuna Body Rolling, NeuroKinetic Therapy, and Ohashiatsu. My experience with Craniosacral Therapy and Somato-Emotional Release also informs our practice.
For energy healing, my training and experience includes 15 years of Reiki--including the Reiki Master attunements--and practitioner certifications in Healing From The Core®, Master and Circle Leader in The Compassion Key®, and the Intergenerational Trauma Healing Method.
Michelle helps people heal, strengthen, and honor their bodies.
After years of teaching yoga and meditation, her gift is intuitively discerning what is most optimal for the person's current situation.
Group class participants typically report feeling as if the class was naturally tailored to their own individual needs, saying things like "Wow, how did you know?!? That class was exactly what my body needed!"
In private sessions, the session is adaptive to your situation. Whether preparing for or recovering from surgery, working through chronic pain, or managing scoliosis, the session is specially tailored to your needs.
Michelle listens to what the body is saying, providing the optimal option--often before the client can put their need into words. One long-time client calls her "The Body Whisperer." Another client refers to her as "The Yoga Doctor."
"Michelle Blake is a 'body whisperer'. Her level of expertise far exceeds any other fitness professionals I have worked with. No two sessions are completely the same."
That care is grounded in disciplined study and backed by science. Michelle has trained directly with some of the most respected practitioners in the field — Leeann Carey (Yapana® Yoga), Gary Kraftsow (Viniyoga™), Judith Hanson Lasater (Restorative Yoga), Beryl Bender Birch (Power Yoga), Tias Little (Ashtanga), Hazel Chung (Ohashiatsu®), Kim and Herson Garcia (NeuroKinetic Therapy®), Sue Hitzmann (the MELT Method®), and Evan Osar (Integrative Movement System™), among numerous others.
She is also a Reiki Master, a Compassion Key® modality Master Practitioner and Circle Leader, a certified Intergenerational Trauma Healing Method practitioner, and a CHEK Institute Holistic Lifestyle Coach. Her toolbox also includes Healing from the Core®, Yamuna Body Rolling®, meditation, breathwork, and Pilates on both mat and apparatus.
Before building her private practice, Michelle spent over 15 years in fitness program management, leading teams of up to 100 and building group fitness programs that ranked in the top five across a 23-club company. She brings that same dedication and client-first mindset to every session — it's why her clients stay for years, and why so many describe her work as "without a doubt the best" they've experienced.
Impeccable credentials only tell part of the story. What keeps people coming back — some for over a decade — is how they feel when they leave.
"An hour of flow with Michelle Blake leaves me calmer, taller, and stronger."
