In 2016, Michele was diagnosed with cancer.  She is certain that her practice in Yoga and Reiki brought her through this very difficult year.  Her belief in Yoga led her to her certification in Y4C (yoga for cancer) training with Tari Prinster. This training was right in the middle of her chemotherapy sessions and radiation.  Michele now teachers the Y4C class at the studio every Friday.
