Michelle and Martha

This mother daughter team are both certified yoga teachers and  reiki practitioners.  Their journey began when Michelle experienced the benefits of Yoga and Meditation. Michelle’s transformation was fully realized by Martha and so her support never waivered as she witnessed the passion and dedication Michelle had to spread these benefits to as many people as possible throughout the country of Belize. Martha also began to change to a more healthy lifestyle and also found herself enjoying the benefits of Yoga, meditation and consuming  more vegan/vegetarian meals.

They are now partners of Om Shanti Belize, Harbour View Cottages (A Conscious Boutique Hotel) & Martha’s Cafe.

For both of them Yoga is a lifestyle and you can find them on property everyday interacting with their guests.
