Michele teaches Yoga group classes in Rathgar at the Marianella Conference Centre. She teaches individual lessons in Dundrum.
The approach underpinning her teaching is informed and inspired by her teacher Paul Harvey. Paul had over 20 years of personal lessons with his teacher TKV Desikachar, who is one of the most important modern teachers. Desikachar's teachings rare rooted in the teachings of his father T Krishnamacharya, whose work has had a profound influence on Western understanding of Yoga.
Following graduation from Dublin City University in 1989 Michele began to further her interest in psychology and personal development from a Western perspective through attainment of a diploma in Counselling Skills through NUI Maynooth.
Following on from this she attained a Certificate in Gestalt Therapy and a Diploma in Life & Business Coaching.

As part of her exploration of psychology and the link between body and mind, in 1998 Michele became interested in the practice and exploration of Yoga, having a particular interest in the potential it offers in terms of creating change at both a physical and a psychological level.
From 2001 to 2007 Michele had personal Yoga lessons and completed Stage 1 & 2 Introductory and Foundation Yoga courses with Hanne Gillespie, Clonlea Yoga Studio. The approach to practice and teaching was informed by Paul Harvey.
During that time Michele was stimulated by the depth of the teachings, the very apparent authenticity underpinning the teaching together with the level of professionalism inherent in the approach.
Michele progressed to study directly with Paul Harvey attending a number of Yoga retreats and taking personal lessons.
