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!

How to Meditate, by Pema Chodron
2 Zoom Gatherings Per Book:
Thursday, April 1 @6-7pm
Thursday, May 6 @6-7pm
Would you like to have meaningful conversation about how to apply mindfulness for self and global healing in a shared community space? Are you interested in the spiritual and meditation aspects of yoga as an eight-fold path? Facilitated by Michelle Chua, our Zoom meetings are an open forum to respectfully and courageously share insights, questions, challenges and inspired action on how this reading genuinely relates living our yoga off the mat. It's also a great way to meet and connect with like-hearted individuals on an intentional path of personal development. To join us, purchase the book, How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind by Pema Chodron (This was the book chosen by majority vote), on your own and sign up below. You'll just need to have at least started reading by the first meeting and then finish the book by the last gathering.

Root 2 Rise Yoga Community celebrates 10 years in 2020!
You gave us (my partner and me) such a positively unforgettable experience at the Root 2 Rise Yoga Fall Gathering (2013). |
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. |
