About Machelle

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

I believe everyone deserves time to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves. My passion is creating supportive spaces where people can restore balance, reduce stress, and cultivate greater well-being through yoga, meditation, and sound healing.

With more than 30 years of experience in health, wellness, and fitness, I bring a compassionate and approachable style to yoga, meditation, movement, and sound healing.

My offerings draw from restorative yoga, meditation, breathwork, crystal singing bowls, and the rich resonance of the Symphonic Gong to create experiences that invite you to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

My journey into health and wellness began while working at a health spa, where I provided personal training, taught fitness classes, and guided hikes. During that time, I was deeply inspired by the yoga teachers around me and the sense of calm, presence, and balance they embodied. Curious to experience those benefits for myself, I began practicing yoga regularly.

What started as a way to improve flexibility and support my climbing soon became a transformative practice that helped me create more balance, connection, and resilience in my daily life. Through yoga, I discovered the importance of slowing down, listening inward, and caring for both body and mind.

In 2018, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through the Hawaii School of Yoga and have since taught Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative Yoga. My teaching style is welcoming, accessible, and focused on helping students feel supported regardless of experience level.

While I enjoy creative movement practices that promote strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, I have developed a special passion for restorative yoga, meditation, and sound healing. These practices offer an opportunity to pause, calm the nervous system, release stress, and experience deep rest in a world that often asks us to do more.

My intention is simple: that you leave each experience, class, workshop, event, or sound bath feeling more grounded, peaceful, refreshed, and connected than when you arrived.

Whether you're new to yoga, seeking relaxation, navigating stress, or simply looking for a supportive community, you are welcome here.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you. 💜
