Michelle Schroeder
A certified yoga instructor, is the main instructor and coordinator of all yoga activities, programs, and courses. Michelle started her journey in yoga when she was only about eight years old:
“I took up dancing in my youth and always enjoyed the stretching components. I remember sitting in my living room and being drawn to sit in the lotus position, without even knowing what it was, and then I started wondering what I was doing. I ended up going to the library to find out more, since my family couldn’t help me find my answers. It was there that I found my first yoga book, which opened up a whole new world to me. It was exciting to play with more of the poses and create my own routines after reading about all the postures. Yoga helped me find that special feeling of connecting with myself.
“It was not until after the birth of my daughter that I decided to become certified and start teaching others. I took my training through The Chakra Yoga Center (currently located in Koh Phangan Thailand) in 2000. I have been teaching in Victoria ever since completing my training, and believe this is what I am meant to do”.
Michelle has been fortunate to have had the chance to study with several local and world class yogis, including Orit Sen-Gupta*, Gioia Irwin*, Peter Bennett*, and Elizabeth Peckham**
