LET YOUR INNER LIGHT SHINE THROUGH!

​

The Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi would like to thank everyone for their support. Established in 2005, we have developed a family feel in the studio and teacher training programs.  We are always excited about watching our past students and teachers grow.  It is very exciting to be able to share yoga with someone and to watch them go through the process of self discovery. This is the reason the studio existed. With our library, workshops, teacher training, and availability to talk with your teachers on a personal level we are promoting your personal growth! Please check out our teacher training programs, workshops and continuing education courses.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

By Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

​

May many miracles come your way. Don’t be afraid to go out and let your light shine. While you are at it help someone else discover theirs. Serve the greater good!

Much Love To You All!

Here are some of the letters that have been sent to Michelle throughout the years:

​

Dear Michelle,

Thank you for an amazing yoga training. It was a giving experience and I was about to receive it.

Your home is fabulous and your family was very generous with us. The sun was a bit hot but nice.

I hope there are many more.

Dear Michelle,

I couldn’t think of anything to change this weekend. Thank you for sharing your home which truly is a sacred space.

I grew in so many ways over the weekend “Body, mind, and spirit and it truly bonded us all, helped open everyone's eyes that everyone is going through something.

Thank you for all you have done on this journey to awakening you are a light and a very special person.

Much love, 

Catherine

Michelle,

There is no way I can truly measure the impact that this weekend will have on me. I am certain it will reverberate for a long time in ways I will observe and ways I cannot. The most beneficial thing for me personally is that you’re loving your entire self into all training in this retreat.

You are excellent at connecting with us deeply while also managing boundaries. Your energy is intuitive and conscious , and I feel the universe channeling itself through you. 

For me-and perhaps others- is outstanding how you focus and resonate with both my light and dark parts. I hope this continues to be a part of everything you do, you are a source of healing.

The retreat was well organized , and you used the space in your home quite well. you made us feel at home, and it was evident you and your family coordinated expectations and boundaries beforehand.  Everything we needed was easily accessible, including you.

The variety of teachers you invited was greatly appreciated, in a very short amount of time you and they covered a lot of information and the schedule provided a good flow of content.

The practice was intense, especially Saturday. You scheduled lectures and breaks that made it manageable. I valued the nutritious talk so much and on Saturday when you allowed others to teach was a good demo of a variety of approaches.

The meditations and evening events on Saturday provided for a space for emotional processing which was important and appropriate for how much we were covering.

It was inevitable that issues would arise for students, and your planning for how to handle them allowed for support, but also balanced a return to the light of aspects of the retreat.

Sunday practice was intense, but it truly demonstrated what we’re capable of and the retreat felt like an appropriate time and space for that. My favorite absolutely most valuable thing you said all weekend was “Don’t leave yourself”. this is my new mantra and i valued that you connected this to the psychology of the chakras for us.

Thank you for going first, and for being brave to do the work that benefits us all. You are a role model and a facilitator of how to do the work. how blessed to be in this training with you!

Namaste!!

Michelle,

This retreat was a huge hurdle for me to dive here without stopping and turning around and going home. This built my confidence sooo much.

I soooo love the way you take space and have boundaries. This is the perfect location. You give a piece of yourself  to each student. you know what each one needs and you have a way of knowing them (us), to find it within our self.  It just seems like you hand picked each one of us, but yet it was our choice. what would i suggest to do differently??? I’m not thinking of anything right now. I swear each one of us opened in ways I do believe we haven’t!! spending the night/nights was very important to completely disconnect with the home/world.

the food, the other teachers. 

Everyone showed  how much they love you and what you do for others and your knowledge.

Michelle,

The entire weekend was a dream. It was everything I hoped for and more. The schedule, class, lectures , and setting were absolutely perfect and made this an experience I will never forget.

I loved that we were able to practice outdoors. I felt that this was a great way to connect with nature and show gratitude to our amazing earth.

and change up from a normal studio setting. 

I loved the nutrition lecture given by Jerry, I learned  things in this lesson that I didn't even know existed. my eyes were truly opened  to a whole other perspective of examining my body and what I put in it.

The chakra lesson also made me extremely aware of the energy flow in my body and how to aid it in my yoga practice.

The early morning meditation was also one of my favorite parts. This challenged me because waking up early is a struggle for me but also sitting still and quieting my mind. although I felt I grew so much in my practice by this simple class.

Overall, this weekend was truly extraordinary and I couldn't thank you and everyone who had a part of it, enough. I look forward to my future endeavors in this practice and growing spiritually, physically stronger and living a healthier happy life.

Thank you for letting me be nothing less than myself and the ability to be comfortable in my skin around people. you and all your work are truly a blessing in my life that I am so grateful for.

Feedback:

A big thank you to you Michelle and Rex!! I’m so grateful to be a part of this training and group, and to experience  the first training at your house. I definitely feel the love here. Everything about this weekend was great. It took some work on my part to fully be here mentally just with everything  going on in life but I’m so glad I put in the work to get to that mindset. It was very rewarding, thank you so much. I thought the weekend was very organized and I loved the extra knowledge given to us with Jeri. Getting to know everyone on another level was also just amazing. I honestly did not dislike anything, the only thing that i can think of would be ending late with having to be here in the am. although, the schedule was pretty flexible if we just said something so no biggie. Thank you so much! these weekends always bring me back where i would want to be. <3 you always.

The overall retreat was amazing! First and foremost thank you for opening your heart and home to all of us . The work and sweat that went into all of this is greatly appreciated. I would only have one complaint and its just a personal thing…. the long hours. It definitely takes a toll in the body, especially for people like me who absolutely need 8 hours a night to function. overall i was ok but i just wish i was  more rested to kick even more butt at those longer practices. 

I will say that those hard in depth practices were amazing and kind of life changing. 

I usually go to the gym and only do yoga 1-2 times a week but after feeling that intensity i will be switching to yoga primarily and gym 1-2 times a week if even that. The talks and tips made me feel ok to not be perfect at the practice yet.

Thank you for reminding me to be compassionate to myself which is something I never did while practicing. I am a teacher pleaser or want to do every step to impress my teacher, but hearing you all say that's not what you look for took some of the pressure off. Once again thank you for opening your beautiful heart and home to me and all of us.

“please excuse my childish handwriting”

I like this letter-writing business :)

The truth is that in the middle of a yoga session I’m miserable because I’m a personality that walks away from the slightest discomfort, confrontation.

My whole mission is to live as serene as possible. so I’m not used to talking through fire, except crossfit there. I have a job to do and I do it.

what I’m trying to say is something keep bringing  me back to the mat and i because of your patience  with me  and I’m grateful for your trust and belief in me when i come to teaching your students. I feel fulfilled and happy when i know i took someone through a workout  and they feel positive change, wow!! that's my calling! i loved every minute of the retreat (even yoga nidra, which l’lll try again. It was a much more intense retreat than last time. you are my gift :’) (crying) I feel like a child when I’m around you. You are my mommy and I meant that from my heart

Your intensity and passion for teaching is amazing.  Love you Michelle
