Bodywork & Structural Integration


Michelle Fleming
Michelle found yoga and it saved her life. She stumbled into an Ashtanga class one afternoon and found it was the first thing that made her intense anxiety and depression dissipate. After tearing a ligament in her knee during a class - and finding that her scoliosis was worsening with the practice - she began to delve deeply into the anatomy behind the poses in an effort to find a safe and effective way to retain the exhilarating flow she loved so much.
She has since become a Yoga Therapist, a Thai Bodyworker, a Nerve and Artery specialist and a Board Certified Structural Integrator in the lineage of Ida Rolf. It was through these complementary practices of wellness that she healed her body - and from there Orthopedic Yoga Therapy was born.
These days she trains teachers and students to find a fluid pattern of movement that protects and nourishes the joints while stretching the muscles and connective tissue and quieting the mind. She is the owner of Sanctuary Wellness Studios, Director of Orthopedic Yoga and Transformational Yoga Therapy and founder of Equilibrium, a non-profit dedicated to bringing breath, movement and nutrition education to young people with anxiety and mood disorders.
After living and learning all over the country, she now teaches internationally, bringing her unique style of yoga to students of all levels, ages, shapes and sizes. She has been teaching for almost 20 years and training teachers for over 10 years. She believes it is a blessing to be able to bring people the gifts of a strong body, a quiet mind and a blissful spirit.
