Meet Michelle
I've been running Essence of Living for over 19 years and more than one million students have passed through our humble doors! Sharing the teachings of Yoga and Pilates is truly my calling and I feel so incredibly blessed to be here doing what I love most!
I believe all of the best teachers are committed students, so while I have already completed countless tranings and sat with some of the world's greatest teachers, I am forever learning and growing.
Essence of Living offers teacher tranings, retreats, community classes and workshop, but even more deeply we are a support network, a community and a home away from home. I can't wait to support you to breathe, bend and blossom!

Essence of Living acknowledges and pays respect to the First Nations People, the traditional custodians, past, present and emerging of the lands, seas and skies.
Essence of Living values diversity and is committed to providing an inclusive service for all people.

Forest Bathing
What is Forest Bathing
It’s a new name for an ancient practice that has been enjoyed since the beginning of time by First Nations people across all lands, seas and skies.
The modern practice we call today “Forest Bathing” was a Japanese Government initiative to counteract the acute stress and anxiety the Japanese people were experiencing due to the fast paced and high-pressured working conditions of the culture.
