“<\/span>Peaceful and Spiritual Yoga for the Body and Soul \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Elda Woods<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1471882376167{background-color: #f2edf2 !important;}”]<\/p>\n “During the past five months, I have been fortunate to practice yoga with a great instructor in the person of Michelle Williams of Om Shanti. When I first started, I was skeptical as to whether I could even begin to do the poses, considering my age and medical constraints, but from the very beginning I realized what a dedicated, knowledgeable and warm person she is. She makes one feel welcome, at ease and inspires you to practice yoga, even when not feeling well. I\u2019ve noticed that Michelle is flexible enough to adjust her classes when necessary and she works the room to make everyone feel special in her own subtle way. Best of all, for me, she adjusts the poses that I am unable to do, so that I still gain the benefits. She loves what she is doing \u2013 and it shows \u2013 and we are lucky to have her as our instructor!”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Crystal Vernon<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n “<\/span>Awesome Class – Since i hadn\u2019t taken yoga classes before, i was a bit anxious going in. Michelle however, greets everyone with open arms and explains (and demonstrates) each pose to new comers, such as myself. Not only does the class help you focus on body strength, but also peace of mind. The classes are very calm, relaxed, and moves at a tranquil pace. After every class you leave feeling relaxed, energized and mentally stronger. If you have the chance, give it a try; it\u2019s worth every minute!“<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0<\/strong>Ilona<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1471882667330{background-color: #f2edf2 !important;}”]<\/p>\n “Excellent instructor for beginners and all. I\u2019m relatively new to yoga, having started about a year ago. Michelle is a wonderful teacher, and especially so for an older woman (such as myself) starting out. When I began, I really appreciated how quickly I became comfortable in her classes. I also appreciate her attention to any physical concerns I might have and I feel that safety is as important to her as it is to me. But most of all, I just enjoy the classes and am glad that I chose Michelle\u2019s studio as my yoga home.”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Debra Lewis<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n “<\/span>Thanks to Michelle Ashanti Williams and Florence Goldson, at Om Shanti, I\u2019ve found the key to conquering insomnia and feeling balanced and blessed out before sleep.

She has a wealth of knowledge and what she doesn\u2019t know, she researches. She creates an environment that seems to effortlessly encourage comfort and relief. She teaches you with patience, adjusts you when necessary, and encourages you the whole way through. She\u2019s also easy to talk to. You can\u2019t help but feel as if you\u2019re talking to an old friend. I appreciate that I can feel very safe with her. She pays attention. While I\u2019ve tried out pretty much everything in terms of fitness, I am most satisfied with Michelle\u2019 s method. Her approach is holistic and it has been a key ingredient to my healing, as I had incurred a severe injury a few months before I started yoga with Michelle.”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Sophia Paz<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n “<\/span>I love Michelle\u2019s classes! I have been practicing for a little over 10 years, and Michelle\u2019s classes are better than most studios I have gone to in the states. She is a great teacher, and incorporates mental relaxation with vigorous yoga in her Hot Yoga sessions. Not only is it great exercise, but also great stress relief. I also have to admit that her juices are addictive! I get a green juice after every class!“<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Rachael Roe<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1471882624229{background-color: #f2edf2 !important;}”]<\/p>\n “I love Om Shanti !This is a unique place in Belize City, with a lot to offer, different types of yoga, meditations, therapies, juices, healthy deserts, etc, and with a nice open hearted environment and people.”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u223c\u00a0Jaen Nieto Amato<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n “<\/span>My first yoga session was brilliant!

\nPracticing yoga with Michelle is very peaceful and spiritual. Her technique is beautifully unique in that while practicing yoga she helps you to heal your mind and body with her thoughtful and gentle meditation and guidance. I have never experienced this much relaxation and body strengtning yoga techniques at the same time. I have done yoga with different teachers in Miami and Belize and even though I\u2019ve enjoyed it, I always felt as though something was missing. Michelle has a special technique of helping you to relax and and only focus on the present. Because of this I feel as though I am successful at meditation and better flexibility. Yoga with Michelle is truly a blessing.“<\/span><\/p>\n
\nSo happy to write this review on Michelle. From the very first day of class has been nothing but positive energy, demonstrating a great work out and a fantastic way to start my day. I look forward to doing Yoga with Michelle every week. She is a wonderful yoga teacher. Very peaceful and sweet person. I feel very blessed to be a part of her class.”<\/p>\n
