Feedback from Students:

 “Michal Lahav is a brilliant teacher.. I like that it’s different every week, she really knows what will feel good in the body. She radiates warmth and kindness without being sappy.”

“When I have days like this, filled with free-floating anxiety, my lifeline is that later I will practice yoga with Michal. I am so grateful.” - Bob

“I have experienced yoga instruction from many teachers over the years, and have taken classes from Michal starting at Sutra since 2012. She stands out. She is truly amazing and largely responsible for taking my own commitment to yoga more seriously. Michal’s instructions are clear and un-cluttered, her pose choices well-rounded and sequenced in a thoughtful way – challenging yet respecting different bodies, building heat and showing pathway to gaining strength, with attention to breath and rest, offering corrections and demonstrating the way of arriving at and holding poses that are mindful of preventing injury. She is a gifted teacher. Beyond her sheer competence at yoga and sharing that wisdom, the words that come to my mind are kindness and radiance – Michal exudes both,  and imparts a bit of them, I am sure, in all her students. I get the wholeness of yoga from her – both in mind and body, and cannot recommend her enough for having her teach more regularly at your studio” Ken

“I’ve been a student of Michal’s for the past few years and I really love her approach.  She is inclusive, warm, friendly, and open.  In class, she creates an environment of learning and exploration where I feel encouraged to challenge myself.  I love the fullness to which she rallies us to grow in our poses and movements.  “This is YOUR life,” she says, reminding us that every moment on this beautiful earth is a blessing.  The sense of peace, restoration, and self-love I get from our weekly classes is truly a joy.  For her dedication and kind leadership, I cannot thank her enough!” -Emma 

“In presence and in style, Michal is such a gifted yoga teacher.  She is deeply connected to the practice of being embodied and is able to convey this passion of aliveness and pure existence in such clear and fine tuned ways.  One of Michal’s many gifts is getting people into their bodies with peace and strength.  She really helps me arrive into my body and practice so that I can meet myself where I am.  She holds and invigorates the space so that I can feel and be myself, fully invited.  The way Michal delivers guidance helps me connect to the subtleties in my own body, keeping me so present, I am really able to listen.  I am always grateful to receive Michal’s physical touch, a touch of deep warmth and clarity. Michal’s classes leave me feeling emotionally cleansed and physically connected, an embodied sense of clarity.” – Misha

“I cannot recommend Michal enough. I had been taking yoga classes fairly regularly, and happened upon Michal’s class. Now, I don’t want to take yoga from anyone else. She really listens to her students’ needs, always asks for requests and challenges them at their level. In addition, her grace and gracefulness along with her music choices make her class a pure joy”. -Dahlia

“I’ve been going through a very transformative time and honestly your yoga class has helped tremendously!!!! I remember the first day I was in your class during the thunderstorm. I can’t even explain to you how powerful it was for me. I had a lot of tension and was feeling quite lost. In the past weeks I have done a 180 and your class has been a huge benefactor in that. I can’t thank you enough for the courage you possess to teach and guide us all through something so beautiful.” -Sarah

“I found myself going past what I had assumed my limits to be, yet doing so with ease.” – Katheryn
