“I believe in the power of yoga,” says MPC YOGA FOR ALL founder Michele Priddy. “I have seen lives change, including my own, in deep, transformative and real ways.” Michele, who holds a Master’s degree in Special Education from Middle Tennessee State University and certification as a RYT-500 from Yoga Alliance, has more than two decades of experience helping adults and children of all ages and abilities reach their maximum potential. Her highly-individualized yoga classes, workshops and in-service training programs are more than just opportunities to for her students to move: they are transformational experiences made even richer by Michele’s deep understanding of yoga movement, breath work and philosophy coupled with an encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In addition to teaching yoga at Middle Tennessee’s most respected yoga schools, Michele has led workshops for children with disabilities, teachers, social service workers, parents and others on a variety of topics including Yoga for Children, Yin Yoga, Mindfulness, Adaptive Yoga and Vinyasa Flow.

June 4, 2008

Everyone should have the opportunity to set and achieve goals, family members of those with disabilities are no different. On Labor Day, 2008 Brendon, his older brother Ryan and I will set out to complete the Virginia Beach ½ marathon. Brendon’s two brothers have been blessed with bodies that can endure the vigorous demands of physical exercise and sports. Both participate in football, wrestling and a variety of other physical challenges. Brendon is being given the opportunity to finish a race, his physical body cannot complete with out help. Ryan and I will be his legs, he will be our motivation, our heart.

I have completed the initial steps, to get in shape, get permission and make arrangements with the race directors and have even been able to raise the $785.00 cost of the stroller. On with the training.
