The Year of the Hummingbird: Walking the Path of Beauty & Imagination.
I am Michelle Margaret, a writer, lifelong learner, yoga teacher, retreat leader, and creator of Yoga Freedom. I have been joyfully teaching yoga since 2002 and writing for Elephant Journal since 2010. A left-handed Texan Gemini with Libra rising, I live with my family on magical Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and work as a writer, editor, translator, interpreter, retreat manager and yoga instructor.
I am eternally grateful to the modern-day teachers of ancient Mayan wisdom who have taught me about living a life of simplicity, presence, and connection to nature. To learn more about your energy and personality according to the sacred Mayan calendar and delve into its practical uses, schedule an online reading or—even better—come on retreat with me and immerse yourself in the magic of Lake Atitlan!
