Michelle Curtze, Teacher

Since yogaErie opened its doors in 2009, I've been dedicated to my yoga practice, transitioning to teaching in 2014. My training includes Yoga Fit, Amazing Yoga, Baptiste Yoga, and Josh Summers School of Yin Yoga. Initially, yoga was simply a workout, but with time, I've come to understand it as a way to embrace life to its fullest. While I strive for consistent yoga practice, I acknowledge that it's an ongoing journey, a continuous practice.

Despite being rooted in Catholic faith, my approach is heavily influenced by Buddhist psychology, shaping my commitment to a mindful life. Every day, I endeavor to approach life with curiosity, joy, and enthusiasm, qualities I aim to infuse into my teaching.

Beyond yoga, I hold a Masters in Clinical Psychology and work as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also the creator of Pickle Jar Flower Farm, where I cultivate a variety of cut flowers.
