30 Hour Teacher Mentorship

Michelle Plante graduated from the Yoga of Energy Flow 200 Hour RYT program led by Dana Lincoln and Daniel Orlansky, then completed her 300 hour Advanced Teacher Training through Boston Yoga School led by Ame Wren and Kevin Courtney in 2015. In 2021, she completed the 75 hour Advanced Teacher Training with Nikki Vilella and Lauren Haythe of Kula Yoga Project. With an emphasis on clear alignment and focused breath, her classes prioritize providing the space for self exploration. As the director of the Prasada Yoga Teacher Training program, she is dedicated to holding an inviting and peaceful space to share with the seacoast yoga community and to always remaining a committed student of yoga.

Michelle is a yoga teacher with over 15 years of experience. She believes that yoga is a powerful healing modality that can bring positive change to people who practice. Her classes combine what she believes are the best elements of yoga; teaching with awareness of breath, alignment and self-inquiry. She has a compassionate approach to teaching, seeing the individual needs of her students. She is known for her creative sequencing and thoughtful languaging with a focus on the whole person.

Feeling strongly that people navigating a cancer diagnosis would benefit greatly from a yoga class designed specifically for their needs, Michelle founded Yoga and Cancer. Initially a standalone class she offered free to participants, it has now expanded into a program at Yoga in Action, a nonprofit providing trauma-informed and therapeutic yoga to specific and underserved populations. Michelle served on the Board of Directors as Co-Chair Program Committee, Board President and currently leads the Yoga and Cancer program as Director. She also mentors teachers, conducts presentations in oncology settings and speaks to cancer support groups in a variety of settings on the benefits of yoga as a healing modality.
