Michele Blu Yoga
Who is Michele Blu?
Yoga has been apart of my life for 25 years, and my practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible, and fearless both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully.
I have been a yoga practitioner since the start of the new millennium. I opened my first Yoga studio in 2008 during the mist of a recession after my first 500hr Power Yoga certification. We were the first black owned and operated Yoga studio in Baltimore City and our story was covered on Fox 45 in 2009! As times changed and life grew, so did I. In 2012, I became 200hr Hatha Yoga certified. Two years later, I gained an extra 100hr making me a 300hr Hatha Yoga Instructor based on my skills, dedication, discipline, and devotion! That year, I also acquired 200hr Casework In Theory and practice of Asana, Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy, and Basic Teaching.
However, it wasn’t until 2018 that I found Kemetic Yoga and got my 200hr Kemetic Yoga certification. Then in 2019, I went abroad to Negril, Jamaica to recertify in Kemetic Yoga under the Master Instruction of Yirser Ra Hotep of Kemetic Yogaskills: School of Kemetic Yoga. I will always be a student of the practice overall and I am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom that my teacher, Master Yirser Ra Hotep, has shared with me.

What is Kemetic Yoga?
The Ancient Egyptian system of yoga based on the enlightenment based upon the practices of physical movements combined with controlled deep breathing and meditation.
Kemetic Yoga is a healing regenerative system that is characterized by a series of geometrically progressive postures that create alignment of the spinal column and corrects defects in the skeletal muscular system in order to relieve stress, increase blood circulation, nutrient and oxygen supply to vital body systems, and to allow internal life for energy and cerebral spinal fluid to flow more efficiently and abundantly throughout the entire body. Whereby inculcating the philosophy of Self Development, Healing of the Mind-Body-Spirit and Self Discovery!

What can you expect from my class?
“Michele is known for her authentic, non-judgemental style of teaching, availing herself to continuous philosophical education from the kemetic yoga spirituality.”
Before becoming a yoga instructor, I was a personal trainer. Because of my extensive background in fitness, I thought yoga would be easy after my first class. It was not as easy as I imagined, but the true surprise - the best kept secret - was the sense of calmness and peace I found and the breath-mind-body-spirit relationship I built. Kemetic Yoga is crating space free from obstacles in our own body to live.
I weave through-provoking meditations throughout class, applying ancient wisdom to the contemporary western world in a useful and understanding way. I encourage growth of the physical and spiritual self, siting the interconnectedness to our ancestors, our community, to the World and the Universe at large!
In class, I love to combine creative Kemetic sequences, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help develop or deepen your practice. I seek to help others thrive in life by nurturing the body-mind-spirit and soul with yoga. My overall goal is that you step off the mat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced!
