Ashtanga Yoga Instruction | Body Therapy
Michelle has been a dedicated student of Tim Miller for a number of years, committed to her daily Ashtanga Yoga Practice up to Advanced Level A. She has completed Tim Miller’s teacher trainings at the Ashtanga Yoga Center in the Primary Series as well as the Intermediate Series. She has also studied with Sharath R. Jois in Mysore, David Swenson, Richard Freeman, and other Ashtanga teachers.
Her study in her native country Switzerland as well as in the United States where she lived for many years, has provided her with a profound understanding of body mechanics and movement techniques supplementing her previous practices in classical ballet, aerobics, therapeutic body and energy work, voice training, and meditation. In her classes (both group and private), she applies a compassionate, inspiring and encouraging teaching style.

Recommendation by Tim Miller
Michelle Haymoz was a student of mine for several years when she lived in Encinitas, California. During that time she learned the Primary and Intermediate series and the first half a dozen poses of the Advanced A series. In addition she completed teacher training in both the Primary and Intermediate series with me and has learned the traditional Ashtanga sequence of pranayama practice as well. She has also done a great deal of assisting with classes and substitute teaching at my yoga shala. Michelle is a very committed student of ashtanga yoga with a strong work ethic, an eagerness to keep learning, and a good ability to absorb and understand the many different aspects of the practice. She has my highest recommendation as a teacher.
