Hello! I’m Michela.

 

I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida and studied Psychology at The University of Central Florida. Post graduation, I was seeking growth and change and decided to complete my 200hr yoga teacher training in Uvita, Costa Rica. I wasn’t really sure where the path of teaching yoga would take me, but I was open and curious and had a deep desire to teach others how to reconnect to their bodies.

 

A few months later, I heard St. Petersburg had a lovely yoga community, so I took a leap of faith and moved cities. Being a yoga teacher for the last 3 years has taught me more about myself than I could’ve ever imagined. It has led me to the path of always being a student, staying curious, and remaining open to life, no matter what it throws at me.

 

Over the last year, I have begun my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and became a Pilates instructor. This journey has deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and has reinforced my passion for helping others heal and grow. I believe that both yoga and pilates offer unique tools for fostering balance, not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally.

 

As I continue my studies and teaching, I’m excited about integrating my knowledge of psychology with movement practices to create a holistic approach to wellness. I am committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to explore their own journey. When I’m not teaching or studying, I spend my time working out, journaling, reading, or in nature. I am also passionate about all things mindfulness, including breathing techniques, meditation, and somatic practices. 

 

As a new member of the team, I am excited to share my creativity through email marketing. I look forward to connecting with you all more!
