Hi, I’m Michelle

My yoga journey began in 2004, and over the years, I’ve experienced tremendous personal growth and self-discovery through the holistic nature of the practice. However, as a student attending various classes, I often felt something was missing—a supportive community of like-minded individuals to uplift each other. I also noticed how inaccessible yoga seemed to many people due to preconceived notions of what yoga is "supposed to be." Whether it’s feeling like they’re not flexible enough, not knowing which class is right for them, or thinking they need perfect circumstances to start, these mental roadblocks can be limiting.

Recognizing this missing piece and hearing these concerns sparked my drive to create a space where those who feel out of place in the yoga world can find belonging. I’ve been there, too. Throughout my own journey, I’ve seen the transformative power of breaking through these mental barriers and how contagious personal growth can be when we do. Being open to new experiences, meeting new people, and investing in ourselves is key to unlocking our full potential. I didn’t get here by accident—this journey is about embracing growth and inviting others to do the same. That’s why I created Redwoods & Ferns.
