Michelle Geldmacher

YOGA INSTRUCTOR

An avid bookworm, music curator, and lover of the outdoors, Michelle Geldmacher brings a grounded yet playful energy to her classes. A lifelong athlete, she has always been drawn to movement and to teaching others in some capacity. This led her to earn her RYT-200 through Charlotte Yoga. Her sequences blend intention, flow, and music that mirrors the rhythm of the practice, sometimes restorative, sometimes energizing, and always heartfelt.

Georgie aims to offer her students the chance to set down the weight of the outside world and step into a space where they can simply exist. Her hope is that each class becomes a small act of honoring the self, so students leave feeling grounded, connected, and ready to pour back into the people and passions they love.
