Cleveland - Monday, May 13th 2019 - Star has been teaching in the Cleveland area since 1985, but she stepped onto the Yogic path in 1970. She was actually recovering from an attempt at suicide that year when Yoga popped into her life and provided more healing than could be found through religion, counseling or begging the Universe for help. Star grew up in an alcoholic family dynamic where there was a lot of stress and even abuse. “Yoga is a long and arduous path, but it does work,” Star says. “It gave me an avenue to allow and even embrace my psychic sensitivity and to release long-held fears, depression and anger suppressed over the years.”

Star describes her story in her book published at CreateSpace in 2014 (https://www.createspace.com/4991332) where she openly shares the dark events in her life and how it lead to suicidal tendencies by the age of 15. She has recovered from a failed attempt at the age of 23. Star could be considered a member of the #MeToo Movement since she suffered from abuse in her family at a very early age, but also as a teen by the head deacon of the small-town church attended by her family.

Before beginning her teaching career in 1985, Star studied Yoga for 15 years, helping her to heal herself from such a dark childhood. Subsequently, in 1995 she received teacher certifications from Kripalu Yoga and Health Center in Massachusetts, in 1997 from Integrative Yoga Therapy held at Kripalu and became a Reiki Master that has attuned over 100 practitioners since 2005. Michelle led the Yoga therapy classes for the Cleveland Clinic's scientific study entitled, "The Impact of Yoga on a Chronic Pain Population" in 2000 where she demonstrated how Yoga can be used as a therapeutic tool for a range of physical and emotional challenges. She taught Yoga to Clinic employees for over 5 years, interwoven with operating her own studio in Middleburg Heights. Michelle’s career has been dotted by travel as she has led continuing education classes and workshops for physical and occupational therapists in a 5-state region. Most recently, she has received certification in Ho’Oponopono, a Hawaiian technique to cleanse the subconscious mind where memories are stored.

“Most people do not realize how a long-time practice of yoga can take you to your deepest memories and essential self,” Star says. “It takes you to the cellular level where your memory is stored in the body/mind.” Star explains that through the practice of yoga and meditation, one can access these memories and make peace with old fears and habit patterns that no longer serve. Understanding that some people prefer to “let sleeping dogs lie,” Star believes that many others want to identify their fears and behavior patterns in order to balance and heal them: “and the truth shall set you free.” And, she believes that is what will heal the world.



World renowned author Robert Schwartz (author of Your Soul’s Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned before You Were Born) states in his endorsement of Star’s book, “For anyone walking a path of healing, this book is a beacon of light pointing a way forward. With such grace and openness, Michelle Star shares her personal healing journey. Her wisdom and profound courage are touching and deeply inspiring.”

Currently, Star is teaching a “Spring Organic Detox Yoga” series in the healing Salt Room at Dolce’ Organic Salon and MedSpa in Middleburg Heights. She also teaches Yoga, Reiki and more privately and in her home studio in West Park.
