Michelle Garcia, ERYT500, RPYT, YACEP

Michelle is an indigenous yoga teacher hailing from a small and remote Canadian town. Sharing her passion for teaching yoga since 2015, she has enjoyed stints in Canada, the US, Mexico, and Peru, and is thrilled to be returning to Costa Rica to work at Nereus, where she is the lead yoga teacher trainer.

Michelle is well-versed in the hatha and vinyasa styles, as well as prenatal yoga. She is also a YACEP and has obtained additional certifications in yin, restorative and yoga nidra. With a teaching style best described as a harmonious blend of energetic asana practices interwoven with yogic philosophy, punctuated by moments of slow, introspective fascial release, Michelle’s ultimate aim as an instructor is to foster a sense of equilibrium and serenity in people’s lives by creating a sacred space, nurturing silence and encouraging students to embark on a voyage of self-discovery within the realms of yoga.

When not in the studio, she enjoys stalking through the jungle and basking in the sun. She has yet to meet a cat she didn’t want to befriend.
