Testimonials from my Sweet Students
"Thank you , thank you for creating and manifasting Shakti's Garden for an awsome group of women. I feel so blessed to call you my teacher and appreciate all you have done for me over the past ten years! Shakti's Garden was a rewarding experience on so many levels, guided by the exceptional Michele Bulgatz. Art, food, meditation, pranayama, asana, laughter, tears, joy and sweat, that's Shakti's Garden. I know I am stronger on this journey because of you."

"Michele is an inspiring, loving and creative teacher. She helped me see the beauty in anusara yoga, as well as teaching me how to listen to and align my body, mind and soul. She brought an incredibly positive energy to every class by creating an upbeat and engaging atmosphere. I will carry the lessons and passion I have learned through her yoga classes with me into the future. I enjoyed the time that I had Michele as a teacher and would encourage every person to experience her gift as a instructor."

"I've taken several yoga classes from Michele at the University of Oregon and at Freedom Yoga. I continue to take her advanced Anusara class, which is my favorite yoga class in town! Her style is exciting and challenging. Each class is supportive, attentive to alignment, and inspires me to literally stretch my limits. I would highly recommend her classes, especially to people who are excited to go deeper into a meaningful and strong yoga practice."

"I began the immersion with a desire to deepen my own yoga practice- I had no idea how profoundly I would be affected in every aspect of my life.
I had no intention of going on through the second half, teacher training, but after completing the immersion my heart body and soul compelled me to continue.
It was challenging, but the excellence of Sandy and Michele’s teaching and support helped me in rising to the challenge, and go beyond what I thought was previously possible.
I am so grateful that I had this opportunity to study, to learn, to expand my yoga practice immensely, and to go on the journey with an incredible group of students who I now call my dear friends."

"The teacher training at Freedom Yoga has prepared me to step into the role as a teacher with confidence, enthusiasm, knowledge and grace. I have learned so much and transformed on many levels that have expanded my capacity for love, compassion, freedom and peace. Eternally grateful for this experience."
Stefanie Greenleaf
"Taking the Freedom Yoga Teacher Training with Sandy and Michele has been so much more than learning to teach yoga. It is a process of life transformation.
Studying the philosophy of yoga has given me deep insight into how I go about my life and relate to others. In depth practice of the Asanas has recreated my body with refined alignment. Developing the courage and confidence to teach a well structured yoga class with grounded knowledge of the principals of yoga has provided me greater confidence in all areas of my life.
Both Sandy and Michele are extremely well educated, experienced teachers of yoga and meditation and their integrity, dedication and love of their practice makes their offering a joy to experience."
With Eternal Gratitude, Mary Gold McNutt
"You know what cured me? Yoga. That's right. I was still having an intense pressure headache with difficult sleeping after finishing 10 days of antibiotics. I powered through Michele's 100-minute intermediate Yoga class, even when the upside-down poses were uncomfortable. When I was done, it was like a cork had been pulled out of the base of my skull, everything drained, and I was without a headache for the first time in over two weeks. I slept 13 hours yesterday and feel SO MUCH BETTER. When nothing helped - Yoga did. Yay, YOGA!"
