WHAT OUR STUDENTs SAY
Making the decision to embark on the journey of yoga and Pilates teacher training at Essence of Living has been more than just acquiring the skills to instruct - it's had a profound impact on my life.
Through this experience, I've shifted my mindset, met lifelong friends, and connected deeply with my truest self.
I've learnt that it is possible to overcome limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns that I have held for years, ones I never thought I would truly be able to get past.
I've learnt that I may not be the best at everything, but all that matters is that I do everything from a place of love.
Having Michelle by my side as I open my own yoga and Pilates studio has been invaluable.
She has been a role model for me and her support goes well beyond the duration of the teacher training.
Michelle goes the extra mile to bring out the best in everyone.
She has guided me not only in running the studio but also in navigating business with integrity and authenticity and for this I am truly grateful.
