Instructor at Axis Yoga, YTT-200 / Event Instructor, Mixed Media Artist & Vendor Coordinator

Mechelle started her yoga journey in 2015, completing her first 200 YTT at Explore Yoga in Troy, MI during 2019. She then began teaching yoga to kids and teens at a local community center, as well as offering classes in Chair Yoga for seniors and Slow Flow for adults. Moving to Asheville in 2020, Mechelle began teaching yoga to kids with special needs while expanding her thirst for knowledge and desire to teach. Falling in love with Asheville Community Yoga and all they offer, she decided to deepen her practice with a second 200 YTT at ACY, graduating in 2023. She is excited to share her gentle, mindful, self-loving, caring practice.

She is leading 'Seated & Supported, Finding the Hope Within' - Through simple, accessible movements and guided breath practices, we’ll explore how hope can be felt in the body—not as something we have to force, but as something we can quietly return to. Expect slow, supportive stretches, mindful breathing, and moments of stillness designed to ease tension and invite a sense of calm.
This class is designed to help you leave feeling a little more grounded, open, and connected to hope.

Chair yoga is a practice that is beneficial to all. In these classes, you will use the support of the chair to arrive in yoga poses, move, breathe & ultimately feel good! The benefits of chair yoga include increased mobility, strength, stretch of the body, reduced stress, reduced pain & clearing of the mind.
