Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner

Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner is both a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and a certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 500) with over eleven years of experience. Michelle teaches individuals and groups studying to teach yoga in both the 200-hour and 500-hour advanced teacher training programs. Her curriculum provides instruction in therapeutic yoga, yoga for special populations, yoga therapy, yoga anatomy, yin yoga, Taoist yoga, yoga philosophy, and the ethics of yoga.  Michelle also provides specific trainings in Yin Yoga with a curriculum that emphasizes Taoist philosophy, yoga anatomy, and mindful somatic experiences.  She provides these training both in the US and in Japan.  As a faculty mentor in the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy program, Michelle overseas and mentors students studying to become yoga therapists in the newly established Japanese program as of 2015.  

Michelle is trained in vinyasa, hatha, and yin yoga. In the classroom she encourages students to practice mindfully and to be curious about their own journey through the sensations that arise on and off the mat. Her teaching style guides her students to find their own path of self-awareness with yoga, through listening and feeling, which she believes ultimately empowers her students.

Michelle sees clients privately for yoga therapy working with individuals and couples coping with emotional imbalance, chronic illness, trauma, grief, loss, and/or major life shifts.  Her background in yoga therapy combined with her graduate studies in Somatic Counseling Psychology allows her to work with clients in finding the link between their emotional/mental patterns and the body.
