About Me

Welcome to the website of Michele (Misha) Butot RCSW, ERYT 500. I'm a registered clinical social worker who began teaching yoga in 1998 after a two-year, five hundred hour teacher training program. Subsequently, I've engaged in ongoing study and instruction in hatha and restorative yoga, nondual meditation, and yoga nidra. 

My approach to practice is meditative, individualized, and gentle. Group classes and one-to-one sessions focus on improving self and body awareness, building resiliency, and rebalancing and reintegrating on all levels.

Treat yourself to a relaxing, physically and psychologically intelligent practice steeped in the time-tested principles of yoga philosophy.
