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!

Practicing 108 Sun Salutations, or your chosen modified number of salutes, is a yogic ritual marking the change of seasons, honoring the cycles of nature and clarifying your intentions for the coming season while setting them in motion with focused action (a practical application of tapas, or fiery discipline) through the physical yoga postures in breath-led motion. You might consider them a moving prayer. Michelle Chua guides a feasible approach to completing them in a self-paced, accountable and inspired manner. Choose to join us live in-person by RSVP'ing below or virtually on our Facebook page here. Make sure to "like" our page to receive the FB notification to join us when the event starts. For the practice, you'll need a large sheet of paper, pen, a yoga mat, water and a towel.

What Our Clients Are Saying

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!
-Rebekah B. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YE LP Reviews

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.
-Marianne Manes (Los Angeles, CA)

Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul...
-Christin M. (Los Angeles, CA) *See more YELP Reviews

Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging...
-Jessica L. (North Hollywood, CA) *See more YELP Reviews

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.
-Janette Guzman (Northridge, CA)
