Testimonials

​“I am grateful to Michelle for such a great practice. I go to studios all over the country. Shakti is one of the most unique and beautiful spaces I've been in.”
Michael Franti, musician, singer, yogi

"Michelle Gigante's steady and clear cueing, along with her gift for rhythm created a pace that was both inspiring and easy to follow. I had a blast playing for her Vinyasa Flow class!"
Dave Stringer, Kirtan Recording Artist

​"Michelle Gigante is an embodiment of yogic wisdom.  She led a teacher-training workshop on the art of alignment and energy flow in yoga asana. We were all totally enraptured by her experiential understanding, joyful enthusiasm, and her ability to share in a way that made sense for all. Michelle is a master teacher."
Govindas, director Bhakti Yoga Shala, Santa Monica CA
