“It was an illuminating, exciting, and powerful experience working together with Michaela to unravel the physical, emotional, psychological, and energetic layers of my eczema and frequent digestive upset.  She shined a light on my blind spots in a loving and empowering way and helped me to reorganize the puzzle pieces of my health that I had been trying to make fit together for so long on my own. Having her support impacted my sense of wellbeing immediately, as did her dietary suggestions. I so appreciated her kind approach and her focus on what was actually accessible for me. Thank you Michaela!”

“I had the chance to have 1:1 yoga sessions with Michaela and my experience was wonderful. The breathing and opening work helped a lot with my asthma, through her guidance and adjustments I learned more about alignment and connected to my own breath, which allowed me to enhance my own practice. Michaela is such an intuitive and attentive teacher, adapting every session accordingly to my needs. I am grateful to have met such a lovely and inspirational spirit on my journey! ”

"Michaela's Ayurvedic cooking class was so incredibly inspiring, educational, fun, and yummy. Michaela is extremely knowledgable about all things Ayurveda, and she did a great job teaching our group not only how to cook an Ayurvedic meal, but also the reasoning behind it. Her teachings have helped me carry on my practice of eating in a balanced, wholesome way and have left me inspired to learn even more. Thanks Michaela!"

“A week of taking yoga classes with Michaela and my practice is truly forever changed. I loved her focus on breath and building sequences to work towards more challenging poses. Michaela’s hands-on adjustments helped me deepen my practice—both physically and mentally, pairing that with her ability to read energy levels meant that group classes felt like private classes. At the end of the week, I went to class with a plan to follow the breathing part of the class and do some restorative poses on my own because of a surf injury, but then found that each pose she was teaching was in fact exactly what my body was craving, and by the end of class, unbelievably the pain in my back was gone. If you’re looking to strengthen and deepen your practice in ways you never thought possible, Michaela is the yogi for you.”

“After 6 yoga sessions with Michaela, I felt like a different person–calm, relaxed, and I left with a number of new tools to help me navigate through my busy London life. Michaela was my yoga instructor during my 7 days of retreat in Morocco and I found the classes she ran fantastic. At the start of the week Michaela took time to ask about my previous yoga experience, and what I hoped to achieve. From this information she able to adapt the classes to my ability and needs. Michaela was very attentive throughout the class, and gave valuable feedback and encouragement which help grow my confidence, better my practice, and made me feel at ease.  Michaela classes had a good balance of breathing, relaxation, and movement. I found her instructions straight forward and easy to follow. Michaela brought a special energy to each class.  From the moment the class began to the moment it closed, you could sense how passionate she was about the practice of yoga.”

“Michaela taught me the fundamentals of pranayama, and was so patient and attentive with making sure I fully understood and was able to practice these breathing exercises on my own. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and realizes how every student has different needs and intentions with each practice. I would highly recommend Michaela to anyone wanting to continue their yoga practice!”

“I had the amazing opportunity to practice Yoga with Michaela during my stay in Morocco. We completed an hour session every morning with the sunrise and every evening with the setting sun for 4 days. I enjoyed one-on-one sessions almost every time. Michaela took her time asking me about my personal goals and limits, adjusted the practice to daily performance and situational conditions. Until now, I had never experienced Yoga as a challenging and at the same time extremely energizing exercise and I was surprised how much it inspired me and strengthened my body after only a few days. Especially the flow of movements and breathing technique helped me free my mind and "create space", like we used to call it during practice. Michaela was very helpful in order to reach my personal limits without creating pain and taught me how to find my own shape instead of trying to perfectly imitate the original yoga pose. All in all I am convinced that I could not have been any luckier than being able to have Michaela as my teacher for one of my first real yoga practice at all. She was extremely inspiring and encouraging and I am thankful for the experience of practice we had together. Namaste!

"During ten days this March I had the chance to participate in Michaela’s yoga classes. It was a wonderful way to start a day, listening to her calming voice, stretching and strengthening the body awake. Every morning she made a different practice based on what the students needed. She was very good at making the practice meaningful for all participants, from those for whom it was the first yoga class ever to those like me who have practiced breathing and listening to one’s body for years. The practice flowed, her instructions were so clear you didn’t need to think about them, and she very nicely corrected and helped to reach a deeper position by touching. During the relaxation in the end of the classes, she sometimes gently massaged our feet or head, and it felt great. She always reminded to respect what the body is capable of and what it isn’t, and that she is there just for giving some advice how the practice would go but encouraged own variations and pauses whenever needed. I felt very safe, calm and open on those classes. After the ten days, my body and mind had fully recovered from the days at office: stronger, more flexible, better posture, more open. Thank you, Michaela. "

“In April 2017 I had the chance to attend Michaela Ravasio's yoga class, it was a contagious and powerful experience to have her as a teacher. The class consisted of students with different levels of experience. As a teacher she managed to address every student in their individual level of experience. The class included elements from different kinds of yoga, so the daily changing needs of the students were always met. No matter if we needed relaxation and stretching of sore muscles from surfing or a more challenging and informative session. Even after class she was always open for questions and shared her profound knowledge with us.  I'm not a beginner in yoga and enjoyed her classes extremely. I can truely say my yoga skills have improved so much in terms of a more precise performance of the different Asanas and accepting my individual yoga expression at the same time. To have been in Michaela's yoga class has been an enrichment to me in terms of discovering the meaning of yoga and discovering new potentials in me.
