Marchelle is a 200HR E-RYT, 500HR RYT which is a fancy way of saying Registered Yoga Teacher with lots of hours of training and teaching.
Marchelle's approach to yoga teaching is light-hearted and fun. While having studied several styles of yoga, you will find that she is most connected to Vinyasa Yoga. From Gentle Yoga to Power Yoga, you will always leave her class feeling nurtured and grounded in the breath and movement of the class.

When she isn't teaching Yoga, you can find her teaching indoor cycling classes nearby or coaching clients to live their healthiest lives inside and out.
