Before discovering yoga, Michelle co-created and managed an Internet start up and computer maintenance company in Paris for 10 years. In 2009 she took Bikram Yoga teacher training after having discovered the practice,and discovered that the practise could and did fix her back and knee injuries.
After having the honor of installing internet access in some of the most prestigious hotels in the City of Lights, she and her partner sold this company to open a hot yoga studio in September 2012.The 400m2 studio with an 100m2 interieur garden took two years to find, but it was worth the wait!
