Background/Philosophy:
“The grass is greener wherever you water it.” Yoga is for everyone, and anything is possible! Each posture can be modified to make the practice accessible to all students, no matter age or physical abilities. That is the beauty of yoga. The yogi who can keep a “beginner’s heart,” and a smile on her face, will always be successful because she can approach each practice as if it is the very first time. An open mind and heart can transform us in our practice, and in our lives. Michelle’s yoga classes rock to the sounds of reggae, hip hop and R&B music, and she hopes to share her enthusiasm for yoga by bringing joy and humor into her practice.

John Cruise
Training/Certifications:
I started practicing yoga as a student of Siri Dharma Singh Khalsa, who was in turn a student of Yogi Bhajan, in 1985. Yogi Bhajan is often credited with introducing Kundalini yoga to the Western world in 1969. During my five years of study, my teacher developed his own certification program, primarily because there were no yoga certification programs in Colorado at that time, and I was the first student to complete the training. I began teaching at Greenwood Athletic Club in October 1989 and have continued for 20 years.
Background/Philosophy: My goal is to provide GAC members with the opportunity to experience the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological benefits that the practice of Kundalini offers.

Background/Philosophy:
Some say I am not your typical yoga instructor. I train hard, lift big weights, and believe you can find peace and serenity even in a sweaty gym. I started in gymnastics as a child and have found that same playful movement on my yoga mat. My path has not always been easy and I can relate to students' struggles both on the mat and in the world. My energy, humility, enthusiasm, and compassion have allowed me to develop a loyal following of athletic students. Throughout my many personal and professional struggles, I have worked hard on maintaining a positive attitude, turning what some may see as setbacks into opportunities and making the most of each moment. The time on my yoga mat is always for me to see my True Self and to live from this place.
