A Bit about Mik

My given name is Michele and my nick name is Mik. I am honored to be the Program Coordinator for this great gift of a Welll Being Center from LeaAnn Macecko to the community.  I also a teach a range of classes and workshops from my decades in the bodymindspirit field.

Due to a severe accident in 1982, when I went over a cliff in a car (actually a small truck but "cliff in a car" kind rhythms) I have what I call a special needs body. I think we all do. We are each unique and need special custom care. All my classes, workshops and private sessions are for real people with real bodies: my personal and professional training and expertise enables me to work with any body.

My yoga and meditation sessions are gentle, peaceful and empowering. Additionally, I teach movement for all ages and abilities with a focus on agility, balance, mobility, core and more! And Fun—Fun that's good for you!
