Shanti Baby Yoga is the best!! You get an excellent workout and meet amazing women. Michelle is very knowledgeable and gives you insight as to what's going on with your new mama body and how to focus on your connection with your baby.

Yoga and Reiki with Michelle at Shanti was an uplifting and positive experience. I was diagnosed with MS and a seizure disorder a couple of years ago. My illness created immobility issues and diminished my physical and mental well being. Michelle has a tremendous heart and soul. She was kind enough to come my home frequently to help. She tailored the yoga to my capabilities and I began to see improvements with mobility. Michelle also worked with me on Reiki which helped tremendously with my mental and physical well being. Her meditation techniques made me feel relaxed and grounded with positive energy. She was extremely knowledgable, supportive and patient with me. She has a big beautiful heart and anyone that has the opportunity to work with her will not be disappointed. I think of her as one of my guiding angels. More...

Had so much fun in this class with my baby. One of the highlights of maternity leave! A great way to meet other moms, bond with my baby and Michelle was a great resource. I loved learning the songs so I could do them at home. More...

I first started with Shanti Baby Yoga for some back issues. I had never done yoga. Michelle and the class was so welcoming. I found yoga helped my back issues more than all the other medical things I tried. It also helped with my anxiety. After a while I was introduced to her reiki classes. I had never heard of reiki or had done meditation before. From the the first experience I was hooked. I felt calm, and it helped me to find a way to deal with daily stress. A few years later I was having some medical issues and had read that reiki helps, and is even used in top hospitals along with western medicine. I contacted Michelle for some private sessions. When I couldn't make it to her, she said she could do "distance reiki". I would text her before bed and she would do it while I was laying down in my own bed and she was in her home. Next day she would email me a very detailed summary of what she felt and saw. It was life changing. I did a few sessions again while going through fertility treatments and some personal stresses. I can't begin to explain how this has changed my life. I am now able to help control my stress and much more into spirituality. I have since moved away from Brooklyn and still cannot find a class or yoga teacher as great. I often have her do reiki on myself and my 2 girls at a distance and can't wait to read her findings. If you have never done reiki or yoga, I promise once you try it you will be hooked. Suzanne Zachariou More...

I've been practicing with Michelle for almost eight years off and on, and during that time, I've gotten to know her very well. I can't imagine a better teacher or classroom experience! I feel that yoga is about finding a challenge for yourself, not being pushed towards something, and Michelle is first and foremost a facilitator. She gives opportunities, not orders, if that makes sense. Every class flows with the energy of the students, and she's like the conductor of our symphony of sweat. Some days we rock, other days we serenade, but it's always spirited, centered, and interesting. I look forward to every class, and can without reservation recommend her to any experience level of yogi, and especially to new moms and moms-to-be. Her expertise with prenatal and mommy & me yoga is unmatched in the area, and my wife and I even took a "Yoga for Childbirth" course with her that taught us both ways to help make our birth experience more centered and natural. Give Michelle a try. You won't be disappointed! More...

I took pre-natal and Mama/baby yoga with Michelle at Shanti Baby. She is a wonderful teacher. Working with her strengthened my bond with my child. Her classes are calming, yet fun. I have also made great friends through her class and am grateful to her for that. More...

After finding Michelle’s prenatal class through Google nearly 10 years ago (!) I’ve been a huge fan of every class and workshop she offers. Her approach to yoga and Reiki is fantastic. Michelle is friendly, knowledgeable and her down-to-earth nature makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable no matter the level they are at. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle! Her prenatal and baby classes are absolutely great, however, she also offers many other kinds of classes and workshops worth checking out too! More...

I've been practicing yoga with Michelle for many years. She's extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful approach. She's recommended specific poses or modifications of poses when I've come to class with an injury or ailment. Her classes have helped me to feel stronger, more flexible, and more balanced. Practicing yoga with Michelle will help you to feel healthier in your body, mind, and spirit. More...

When I was pregnant with my son, I attended Shanti Baby prenatal yoga starting at the beginning of the second trimester and continuing until the very end. As the baby got bigger, Michelle helped me do stretches that kept my lungs nice and open and made me less achy. I literally used to walk to the class feeling out of breath and exhausted and I would practically skip on my way home. She's great! More...

Michelle is awesome! I started taking prenatal yoga classes when I was very pregnant, and have been doing baby yoga since my little one was 8 weeks old (he's 7 months now)! We always look forward to yoga; it's one of the highlights of the week! Michelle is so positive and she has a great sense of the unique needs of moms-to-be, postpartum mommies, and babies of all ages. More...

I've been practicing Yoga with Michelle of Shanti Baby Yoga for nearly 6 years now. During that time I've taken nearly every class she has offered. (Prenatal through two pregnancies, Mommy/Baby with all three of my kids and the adult classes just for me) No matter the class, I always come out feeling amazing. If something ails you, Michelle will have a Yoga pose to fix it. She has adjustments and modifications for most poses. If you're more advanced in your Yoga practice, she gives plenty of opportunities to go further into pose variations. I've gone in to class with sinus infections, back pain, headaches, other sports related injuries and Michelle always knows how to make me feel great . Her classes are fun, never repetitive, and personalized. She's innovative and periodically offers themed classes which are exciting and refreshing. She is a wonderful instructor, and honestly I will never leave Brooklyn because I would have to take Michelle and Shanti Baby yoga with me. More...
