Michelle Fleming, E-RYT500, Senior Faculty Teacher  - Founder and Director, Sanctuary of Plymouth

Picture
Michelle Fleming found yoga and it saved her life. She stumbled into an astanga 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 class, she began to delve deeply in the anatomy behind the poses in an effort to find a safe and effective practice that retained the exhilarating flow she loved so much. After training with such famed teachers as Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee, David Swenson, Gary Krafskow, Amy Ipolti and others, she became a certified teacher through the Sivananda lineage. She has been teaching for 12 years now and these days she trains teachers and students to find a fluid pattern of movement that protects the joints while stretching the muscles and connective tissue and quieting the mind. She is the blessed owner of Sanctuary Wellness Studios, founder of Equilibrium, a non-profit dedicated to bringing breath, movement and holistic education and services to young people with anxiety and mood disorders, and the Director of Transformational Yoga Teacher Trainings and Transformational Yoga as Therapy 500 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training.  She is also a Thai Body worker and part of Tom Myers' famed KMI training on connective tissue as well as founder of "Transformational Yoga" and the "Hot Mamas Yoga" Pre and Post Natal yoga and supported labor and delivery classes.  In addition, she holds a B.A. from Boston College where she graduated with degrees in Philosophy, Sociology and Women's Studies.    www.findsanctuary.com

Mimi Strzelewicz, E-RYT  Owner, DeStress Yoga - classes to be held at State of Grace Wellness, Uxbridge, MA
www.stateofgracewellness.com
From Mimi:  “I am so excited to bring this program to you!!!  Over the years of teaching yoga, I was able to build a “plan” to leave my high stress corporate job of 17 years, build my own business, I collaborated with other yoga studio businesses (near and far) to help them prosper. I enjoy sharing ideas to other yoga studios, students, people I talk to and even helped out people who needed a little de-stressing when they ask me a question when they read my business bumper sticker on my car.  I have learned many “tricks of the trade” of the business side of yoga, the asanas secrets from teacher trainings, continued education and I enjoy sharing them with anyone who is interested.  It makes me happy.
Not only will you be learning all the guidelines required by Yoga Alliance, I will also be sharing the information that I learned on how to make your life the BEST LIFE POSSIBLE – to make your dreams come true.  I will also share many resources on how to make your Yoga Teaching either a part-time or full time career (I did both).  I will also ensure that you are in the safest alignment possible during practice so you can keep your body healthy.  If you have a goal to someday open your own yoga studio, I will share many resources that helped me!!!!  The possibilities are endless.  I will even share the mistakes I made, which made me grow. What I truly love about yoga – it is never boring.  At least not for me!  I am a person who loves creativity and I bring it to my classes.  I love movement, I love words of wisdom and inspiration, I love to laugh, I enjoy seeing my students progress to better health – and I still take my practice and teaching very seriously.  I always respect my clients – each and everyone of them….for they are the ones who also teach me.
What makes me want to keep teaching yoga until I’m 92?  YES, that is my goal.  Because yoga never ends.  There is always more to learn, more to share with others, to live your yoga off the mat and spread the joy around everywhere.  I am a very positive person and I’ve had some really difficult times in my life where I thought I would not survive (literally for my life).  Yoga saved me. For those who know me and have taken my classes, they know that they will always receive an honest answer and I’m delighted to share any knowledge of yoga to you.  Yoga is my passion in life. You will have so many resources to branch out to.
My goal while teaching this course is for you to look forward to and to be excited to come to each immersion and class.  We are going to work hard, have fun while doing so, connect to your ultimate goal/source of success in life, thrive to take in more, and find inspiration in each day. Be ready to transform into an entire new essence.”

Revelation Yoga is a manifestation of an inner awareness, connection to oneself and creative expression.  This studio has been created from a dimension in time rooted through inner strength, experience and the discovery of universal assistance through consciousness.  This journey all goes back to a rediscovery of my inner source of power, and a dream to help others discover for themselves what I have discovered about myself.  The studio is the revelation  fueling my dreams.  I am a dreamer, and I am making my dreams come true.
I started dancing at the age of three.  I loved the way I felt when I danced on stage, and that joy and passion motivated me to teach.   I was a certified dance and aerobics instructor for many years, which evolved my vision as well as my physical strength.  For many years, physical strength and burning calories embodied the words I spoke, lived, and believed, but over time it became a need rather than a joy.  This is when I discovered the power of yoga, and I was refreshed, reborn and renewed.  Yoga was my revelation.  I became certified and practiced with a new awareness, which made me feel alive, healthier and more conscious.  I saw my life with new eyes and new energy that I had never found in a gym.  The energy and physicality that yoga brings, combined with the calm and joy that meditation unleashes is life changing.  Now I look to share my passion and discovery with you.  Revelation Yoga is not merely a practice of Yoga, it’s more.  We are a community, a sanctuary and a path to physical fitness.  Each class begins with breath, engaging the core and culminates in relaxation and meditation.  Where else can you feel like you just had a full body massage after an intense work-out?  Discover with us, Namaste     www.revelationyoga.net   Email:  kmackie@revelationyoga.net
