Meshell has been practicing Bikram yoga since 2008. Her first yoga class was when she was 17 years old and probably the most unhealthy and unhappy she has ever been. She didn’t know it was going to be hot so she wore thick boot-cut yoga pants and a big t-shirt to her first class. When it was over, she was covered in sweat and had a glow that carried her through senior year of high school. She’s been hooked ever since. She has attended several teacher trainings around the world including the 2023 Bikram Teacher Training in Khao Lak, Thailand. She loves helping people develop self-awareness and strives to cultivate a critical understanding of how what happens on the mat translates into what happens out in our world. She enjoys working with underrepresented populations in the yoga community.
