Change your posture, Change your life - Michaelle Edwards

Learn the Yogalign method with Michaelle Edwards

Yogalign is a breath-based neuromuscular exercise system designed to improve posture and core strength from the inside out. Using resistance breathing techniques, self-massage, pandiculation, proprioceptive enhancement and primal functional movements, posture can be restored by rewiring the brain.

For over 30 years Michaelle has been creating and developing FitAlign Posture Training and YogAlign on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, providing thousands of people worldwide with the self-car tools to be fit, aligned and pain-free. We are happy to host her at Yoga Moves Nyon for 2 full days.
