Michele Carrión Yopps

Her two top character traits include "Learner and Achiever", as she truly enjoys being student, almost as much as teaching and sharing yoga. After twenty years as a media-marketing professional in the corporate sector, Michele opted to use her business savvy and solid interpersonal skills to cross over into the Holistic healing realm that yoga provides. She received her RYT 200 certificate in "Hatha Heart Alignment" from Yoga 1 in 2014, with her teachers Dr. Steve and Darlene Feinzig, and her RYT 300 advanced yoga training, as part of "The Alchemy of Flow and Form", from the San Marcos School of Yoga, with Christina Sell and Gioconda Parker in 2017. Her teaching style fosters a safe and supportive class environment for students to develop and practice yoga at any level. She continuously works to provide a class balance that utilizes solid foundation and alignment with modifications and progressions, allowing students to "deepen" their practice, as they see fit. Her goal is for students to leave every class - smiling and feeling great.In 2023, Michele founded and launched a mobile app for Yoga Teachers, www.yogamoxi.com, as a resource for tips, reminders, guidance and support.Michele holds a B.S. degree in Marketing from New York University - Leonard N. Stern School of Business, and is an avid animal rights advocate, who works with local and national rescue groups.
