Join Michelle Chua for a relaxing yoga and reiki session in the calming Tansy plant room. Your class begins with mindful breathwork and gentle postures designed to cultivate balance, flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. You'll then be guided into deep rest, enhanced by hands-on Reiki energy healing—a traditional Japanese technique that supports relaxation, stress and pain relief, and holistic well-being. The evening concludes with a heart-centered Loving Kindness Meditation, helping you foster inner peace and compassion that radiates outward. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge your body, mind, and spirit. Space is limited so reserve your spot today!

Feedback about Our Community Events...
Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul. I had the opportunity to join her group on Sunday for a hike and mindful meditation at Franklin Canyon Park. About 30 people showed up, and we all had a blast!

Michelle is the best! ...She is so creative and inspirational. Plus her yoga events and classes around town and in the park are wildly fun.
-Gary L. (Los Angeles, CA)
You gave us (my partner and me) such a positively unforgettable experience at the Root 2 Rise Yoga Fall Gathering (2013).

REviews of Root 2 Rise Yoga with Michelle chua:Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people! Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it. Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul... Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging... My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago. You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart. With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class. I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too. |
Let's connect:Now offering private reiki sessions for stress relief and to promote healing.
I'm so grateful to have met Michelle! Her kind energy opened up my interest in pursuing yoga and meditation. She is such an incredibly light and soul. She starts with grounding ourselves through mindfulness and breathing exercise. She brings the most authentic energy to the class by sharing the history and understanding behind poses, names, and techniques. I truly appreciate her work and impact on my well-being! I’ve had dozens of instructors over the years, but Michelle is far and away the best yoga mentor I’ve ever practiced with. She epitomizes grace during these difficult times. Michelle has saved my sanity and my back while working from home, keeping me grounded with her sharing of yogic teachings and meditation techniques. Her repertoire of physical asanas is encyclopedic, and I’ve loved learning new poses and stretching my boundaries. Jump in, all. You’ve got this! |
