Learn the benefits and contraindications of poses, how and when to apply bandhas (yoga locks), mudras (hand sealing gestures), pranayamas, and other associations with asanas such as the chakra or meridian it relates to. This book also contains information and practices for Kriya Yin Yoga and meditation practices, and also takes a deeper look into the chakra and meridian connection within Yin Yoga practice.

Michele began practicing Yoga after a serious injury occurred in the military in 1999. A few years after her recovery she went on to take Hatha Yoga (Anusara inspired) I & II and began to realize her growing passion for the Yogic lifestyle and continued on to receive her 500 hour training in Vinyasa Flow Yoga at The Lotus Seed in 2013. Since this time she has dove into the profession by studying and practicing the 8 limbs of the Yogic philosophy, learning Hindu and Buddhist traditions, culture, and history, as well as receiving certified training in Kundalini and Yin/Restorative Yoga. In her spare time Michele also enjoys practicing and teaching Pilates, Barre, and Belly Dance.Michele instructs a form of Yoga that fuses together the different yogic techniques and styles she has learned over the years into one seamless flowing practice. Her classes teach to all people from every walk of life with compassion, a concentration on breathing techniques and an intense focus on correct alignment with the use of props as needed. Yoga has become an essential component in Michele's life as the physical practices (asanas) not only keep her ever-changing body in remarkable condition, the other 7 limbs have been enormously beneficial in teaching her proper breathing techniques to connect the mind and body, mudras and mantras to vibrate on a higher level, meditations to listen to the inner higher self, proper eating and drinking habits to assist in maintaining the body, and most importantly Yoga has helped her manage PTSD as well as other anxiety and depression issues stemming from childhood traumas. She is learning everyday to stay in and accept her present reality.YogaFlowLife.com
