Michelle Rebeka DeTolla was born and raised on Chicago's northside and began her movement journey at a young age, doing everything from dance and ice skating, to playing tennis and softball. Dancing is where Michelle found her creative, emotional and physical outlet throughout most of her formative years and early adulthood. Michelle rediscovered Yoga during a particularly difficult time in her life several years ago and it became a key ingredient to her on-going well being regiment. With years of child care experience, and now her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher certification from Zen Yoga Garage, she aims to help everyone find their authentic moments of balance, movement and mindfulness. She is incredibly excited to continue her work with children through Buddha Bella Kids Yoga with an emphasis on mindfulness and emotional and social learning.
