MWB Yoga: Michelle Waugh Brinkley

I lead Christ-centered group classes, small group workshops, and create specialized programs for my one-on-one clients. My goal is for each student to embrace their God-given identity through Movement Worship and Breath, regardless of their skill level, abilities, or age; and move toward freedom from anxiety, depression and pelvic floor dysfunction. As a mental health and movement advocate, my passion is to see lives restored by the power of the Holy Spirit, through meditation, body awareness, and intentional movement. Feel more confident living in your body, excepting the skin you are in, and increase your tenacity to live a physically, mentally, and spiritually abundant life. Through years of practice, I have learned how to feel better in my body, heal from trauma, and accept God’s overwhelming goodness and grace. Yoga, as well as talk therapy, is part of my ongoing personal anxiety and depression treatment. My Alongsider Mentorship Program is an opportunity for me to walk with individuals seeking to deepen their faith; classically trained yoga instructors looking to weave the Word; and serve as a tutor for instructors working through their education programs. I am also a Lead Volunteer with a local equestrian discipleship program, using horses and Scripture in a unique horsemanship experience to share the hope and love of Christ. I am the proud mother of two teen children, a nurse’s wife, and a do-it-yourselfer. In my spare time I enjoy sewing, being outside, and reading. “Fix your attention on God and you will be changed from the inside out.” Romans 12:2
