Hi, I'm Marie,
a Melbourne-based yoga teacher, artist, & graphic designer.
Beginner’s classes
Beginner-friendly classes focus on alignment, foundational breathing techniques, and building body awareness. Students are encouraged to explore what feels good and create a confident base for their practice.
Vinyasa classes
Thoughtful and energising flows that combine strength and fluidity. With advanced posture options and mindful attention to breath and bandha, each class is accessible to all levels, leaving students both refreshed and balanced.
Yin classes
Deeply restorative, Yin sessions are designed to release tension and invite stillness. Set to carefully curated instrumental playlists, every classe provides a creative yet calming space to unwind.
About Michka Yoga
In 2020, I founded Michka Yoga, a fusion of my two passions—illustration and yoga. My art draws inspiration from the history, mythology, and philosophy of yoga, and celebrates diversity and inclusivity by portraying humanity in all its beautiful shapes and colours.
Since I began practising yoga in Paris in 2015, it has been a transformative journey that has consistently enhanced my mental and physical well-being. Yoga has been crucial in managing my chronic skin disorder and fostering personal growth.
Grateful for its profound impact on my life, Michka Yoga is my way of giving back, showcasing the beauty and depth of yoga, and providing those around me with the chance to discover it as well.
I hope you enjoy my work born from my addiction.
About me
I began practising over 10 years ago at Gérard Arnaud Yoga in Paris. Since then, my passion for yoga’s practice, philosophy, and history has only deepened, and I continue to learn every day.
