Michelle Maslin-Taylor

Michelle Maslin-Taylor is a yoga and reiki teacher and sound healer, and a mum of three, based in The New Forest. She describes herself as just trying to be a kind human in a crazy world, and she works with people who are stressed, anxious or experiencing burnout.

Michelle came to yoga because she wanted to touch her toes, and stayed for the mental health benefits. She has taught full-time for 8 years, sharing the practices that help her with other overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and neuro-spicy mums who are juggling it all. Her Insight Timer page says she overcame depression, negative body image and low self esteem through yoga and personal development, and that she is dedicated to empowering women to manage their physical and mental wellness with a personalised holistic toolkit. It also describes her as a coach and an Amazon best-selling author.

Her classes offer slow movement, stillness, breath, and meeting body and mind where they are at. There are no headstands. She teaches yin yoga, stretch and relax yoga, chair yoga, guided meditation and sound baths with crystal singing bowls. She also offers one-to-one reiki and healing sessions that blend an intuitive card pull, yoga postures, guided relaxation, sound healing and reiki energy healing.

Michelle teaches in her cosy studio in The New Forest. She also leads regular classes and seasonal workshops and retreats for studios across Dorset and Hampshire, which often include tea ceremony, yoga, meditation and sound.
