The Wild Open philosophy is that when we learn skills and practices that connect us to the essential self, we are liberated to live a unique creative existence.
On a collective level, when we free ourselves, individually, we raise the collective consciousness by giving others permission to do the same.
Curriculum will focus on physical and spiritual wellness, plus creative practice and connection to the essential self.
For classes where members are invited to share, all members sign and commit to a confidentiality agreement.

When I began practicing kundalini yoga in 2018, I was in the midst of a drawn-out divorce and reeling from being asked to leave my life-long religion—all while I worked full-time to support myself and my son.
I had practiced vinyasa yoga on and off since college, but kundalini yoga took me to a new level. It’s a deeply meditative practice that continues to help me connect with my spiritual self in a safe, neutral space and activate real change in my life.
I am KRI-certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, and my passion for the practice lies in its focus on activating creative energy.
Kundalini is the creative energy of the universe that lives in each of us. When we practice kundalini yoga and meditation, we are learning to direct the flow of that energy with intention and focus to come into alignment with our true identity.
-
No Controlled Substance Practice. My practice philosophy does not include prescribing controlled substances (e.g. benzodiazepines and stimulants). Clients who see this is as a necessary part of their treatment are not a good fit for the practice.
Trauma + Substance Use Disorders. While I have experience with both, I am not specifically trained in substance use recovery or trauma care. Clients dealing with either of these issues are welcome in the Wild Open program, but adjunct, specialized treatment may be recommended or required.
Not a Good Fit for Everyone. Because the Wild Open program is based on my personal philosophy around mental illness/wellness, it is highly personal. Therefore, it will not be a good fit for all people. If it’s determined we are not a good fit by either the practice or the client, the membership will end with a referral to alternative care.

California Only. Currently this program is available only for those residing in California. It’s possible that other states will open up in the future, but nothing is planned right now.
Online Only. All sessions take place online. Michelle is based in San Diego, California, so local clients may be able to attend yoga classes in-person, but monthly curriculum, personal sessions and medical appointments will all occur via Simple Practice or Zoom online.
