Our Mission

Michelle was personally drawn to yoga whilst pregnant with her second child and noticed the positive mental and physical effects it had, especially during delivery. She continued to practice and with incorporation of hypnobirthing during her third pregnancy, was able to have a mindful, completely pain-free, and safe home birth delivery. These journeys led her to become a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. While living in Dubai in 2015, she completed Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with Erica Blitz, Yoga for Kids and Families Teacher Training with Rainbow Kids Yoga and Pregnancy YTT with Sally Parkes. Always striving to continue learning and share this knowledge with prospective yogis, she later obtained additional training including with Michelle Young at My Vinyasa Practice and Sue Elkind's Pre/Postnatal Yoga Essentials Course. She also completed the Pretzel Kids® Yoga Teacher Certification Course, including a focus on t(w)eens and children with additional needs, as well the Baby Yoga & Developmental Movement course with Karma Kids Yoga.

Our children are the door to the future and what we do today sets the stage for what they become tomorrow. After a rewarding 20-year career in the healthcare industry and thorough reflection based on observing yoga's social, mental, and physical effects, Michelle followed her dream, incorporated her background into the passion she had for yoga and founded Yogamazia.

Yoga is union with the Self. With this belief, she is inspired to empower pregnant persons to embrace their inner Goddess within them and, help children realize their inherent G.R.A.C.E. and power through the practice of yoga. She aspires for her own children and students to perfect the entire experience of yoga, not just through the postures which many believe are its basis; but by focusing on mind, breath, and alignment combined, all while having fun! 

Meet Deb, one of our instructors! Deb began her yoga journey in 2011 after participating in a class at Yogasphere in Newtown, PA. She quickly realized that yoga practice involves so much more than just the asanas, or poses. Yoga has a profound history and can offer strength, peace and a deep sense of calm and acceptance when applied to everyday life. She wanted to deepen her practice and share what she learned with those around her, so she embarked on and completed her yoga teacher training through the Yogasphere Teacher training program in 2012 becoming a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. After this experience, she decided to expand her knowledge to children. If kids could experience this calmness, flexibility, focus and balance, it might also provide them with some important tools to reduce stress in their lives. This led her to complete her Children’s Yoga Instructor Certification through ChildLight Yoga. 

Deb put her enthusiasm and knowledge to use by designing and running children’s Yoga Camps for the Bucks County Community College 'Kids on Campus' program from 2014 to 2020. She is also currently a part-time substitute teacher for the Bucks County IU#22 and works primarily with special needs and autistic children. 

She looks forward with excitement to participating in this new adventure with Yogamazia and sharing light and love with the children in our community!
