I’m a yoga teacher trained in Hatha and Yin, with additional training in Restorative, Chair yoga, Yoga for Menopause, and the subtle energetics of Dru yoga. My teaching offers an accessible style of yoga and includes mindful breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques. It also refers to the philosophical dimensions of yoga practice, helping you to understand and connect with your true self. I teach yoga in community settings in Westhoughton, Bolton, and sometimes online.
Why do I have blocks of classes? Because you will only benefit from yoga by making a commitment to yourself to practice regularly. You also save money. However, I do have some single places available.
Mondays ‘Yoga with Michelle’, The John Holt Community Centre, BL5 2NR, 7pm – 8:15pm. A mixed levels class suitable for beginners and more experienced alike. This weekly class runs over 6 consecutive weeks (including some public holidays).
Tuesdays Yoga ‘Energy in Motion’, The Hub Westhoughton, BL5 3DS, 7pm – 8pm. Ladies Only Class. A slow-paced class to unwind and relax body-mind. It combines slow, mindful yoga movements, breathwork and mudras to connect deeply within and bring body, mind and spirit together in harmony.
Ladies only space.
Limited places to create a safe, comfortable space.
Runs in blocks of 4 consecutive weeks.
‘Monthly Monday Yin’, The John Holt Community Centre, BL5 2NR, 7pm – 8:15pm. Involves slowly moving into shapes or postures and comfortably holding, before slowly moving into a ‘rebound’ which allows tissues to return to their original state.
Yin is practiced mainly down on a mat on the floor.
This style of yoga makes us slow down and calms the nervous system. Can be great preparation for bedtime.
Some Benefits of Yin Yoga
“I love Michelle’s Yoga Class. Everyone is so friendly and Michelle is really supportive. I feel so much happier at the end of every session. If you love Yoga – or even if you’ve never tried it before – this is a lovely class to come to.”
