‘Yoga is for the ones who can breathe air into their lungs and for those who have a body to move.’ Michelle Mingo

A note from the founder of Redwoods & Ferns…

Welcome, nature-loving, success-driven, family-focused introverted extroverts! This community is here to embrace you with open arms.

Since becoming a yoga student in 2004, I’ve discovered the vital role that community and connection play in personal growth. Along the way, I noticed a missing piece—a space where like-minded individuals can truly uplift each other, especially those who feel yoga isn’t for them (spoiler alert: it’s for everyone).

As an educator, I’ve seen the power of community in physical and spiritual healing. That’s why Redwoods & Ferns is built on self-discovery, empathy, and the belief that we are truly more similar than different. By connecting with nature and exploring our own capacity for positivity, we can create a toolkit for managing stress and discomfort, drawing strength from our shared experiences.

In this community, you’ll find yoga classes, retreats, and Social Emotional Learning workshops to support your journey of personal growth. I am so excited to have you here.

With love, Michelle

OUR VALUES

OUR VALUES |

COMMUNITY

There’s no Redwoods & Ferns without community! We are here to foster connections, helping you recognize your value with the support of others. We aren’t meant to do life alone.

JOY

The environments you immerse yourself in deeply impact your energy and capacity for joy. Our classes are designed to help you tap into the joy of the community and of yourself.

SELF-AWARENESS

At the heart of our yoga and meditation is the practice of building self-awareness for the body, mind, and soul. As well as learning how to care for yourself without judgment.

MOVEMENT & ACTION

When your body is stagnant, transformation is difficult. As you let your body take up space through movement you create room in your mind for action and personal growth.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Yoga is not about being perfect or fitting the standard image of a “yogi”.

Yoga is a practice that engages the body, mind, and spirit to help you understand the true nature of the world and yourself.

Being a part of the Redwoods and Ferns community has taught me how to show up for myself with grace and kindness. Michelle’s incorporation of the chakras in each session make her classes unique and bring more awareness to what yoga can do for the alignment of your mind, body and spirit. Her encouragement to do what feels right for your body while she serves as our guide cultivates a personal and intuitive environment. The community she has created is all inclusive and has bonded our circle on and off the mat. I am so thankful to be a part of her growing practice and always leave class feeling recharged with good energy and positivity. Thank you, Michelle!

Doing yoga with Michelle Mingo has helped me mentally, spiritually and physically. Being in her classes has helped me learn flexibility, patience, self confidence, and to just have fun and go with the flow allowing me to ignore my ego. It has been a pleasure doing yoga with Michelle not only over zoom, but in person as well.

Redwoods and Ferns Yoga has become a vital part of my life and I’m extremely grateful that Michelle chooses to share her expertise with us. Michelle’s classes have taught me the value in weekly practice and listening to my body. She teaches with a welcoming attitude and encourages us to challenge ourselves as individuals while simultaneously building a supportive community. Her classes are a part of my week I’m sure not to miss. I couldn’t be more thankful for Michelle and Redwoods and Ferns Yoga.
