Yoga is the ancient art and science of harmony, balance and union. Hatha Yoga is the regular practice of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), deep relaxation and other practices to cleanse the body, relieve it of aches and pains and prepare it for a healthy life of service and compassion.

Michelle Marroquin completed a Teacher Training Program at Integral Yoga Institute (IYI) in 2001 under the teachings of Swami Satchidananda. Integral Yoga 's philosophy is summed up in their phrase: Truth is one, Paths are many.

"The philosophy of IYI suits my eclectic journey. I developed an understanding of biomechanics and the body's subtle energies through a combination of dance studies, the Gyrotonic Expansion System and many wonderful Yoga teachers. My apprenticeship at IYI taught me the importance of using this knowledge for service to others. It is with heartfelt thanks to all my teachers that I offer my knowledge of yoga."
