Hello, I am Michelle Griffiths
A little about myself the founder of MBS.
MBS Founder established in 2005. My journey with yoga began very early at the age of around 5 years old and Pilates followed a few years later, my parents where every supportive and encouraging with a more modern approach to rehabilitation due to my physical experience with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome ( EDS). In my early years of yoga my practice was meditation and mudra with breathing to focus and manage pain, working towards asana later, a more traditional way of practicing yoga. After years of self practice and traveling learning / training from inspirational people around the world I returned home and began teaching yoga and pilates, and a few years later establishing Mind Body & Spirit Barnsley LTD, growing in qualifications in rehabilitation and specialist areas, a passion for working in my community which has grown greatly over the years into a well equipped studio offering a friendly supportive environment to practice and teach, with now a team of seven, like minded teachers, who I am truly greatly for their friendship and passion for their community.
