Meet Tree of Life Owner/Instructor, Micki Beach, E-RYT

​

Micki found yoga thirteen years ago when her many health issues including back pain and insomnia made her elementary education teaching career intolerable. She has since slowly grown her personal yoga practice over the years, attending many different classes, workshops and trainings with various teachers Like Shiva Rea, Kathryn Budig, and Ray Long of Bandha Yoga.

 

She was initially certified as a PiYo instructor, and was excited to be fortunate enough to teach a class that empowered her mind and strengthened her body. Yoga changed her life! She continued her training over the years, receiving her Yoga Alliance 200 Hr Teacher certification, as well as several certifications in Practical Yoga, Yoga Essentials I & II, and Pre/Post Natal Yoga Certification. She has also completed the Primary Group Instructors Certification which focuses on the science behind exercise...anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. In 2014, she completed over 35 hours of intensive training with Ray Long, MD, delving deeper into Anatomical Yoga!  In 2017, Micki trained with Dharma Richards to attain her Yoga Warriors certification to help those with Post Traumatic Stress heal through yoga.

 

Micki opened Tree of Life Yoga Studio (RYS/Registered Yoga Studio) in Sanford, NC over 7 years ago. She is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and a NC Certified Elementary Ed Teacher. As her studio has grown, she has been fortunate enough to lead a team of 5 yoga instructors who worked at her studio and she has lead two sessions of 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Programs.

​

She is proud to offer more than just your average yoga classes. "I get to know each person as an individual so I can create a yoga program that is suited to their individual needs. I offer modifications, variations and detailed prop instruction in all my classes so everyone can find the best yoga for their body. I also offer multi level classes perfect for the beginner or the seasoned yogi and I believe in a nurturing and supportive, non-competitive environment that facilitates growth in mind, body and spirit.“

​

Since relocating her yoga studio to Oak Island, NC, she has incorporated her background and teaching experience of over 3000 group and private yoga classes enabling her to bring a more knowledgeable and skilled instruction to your practice.

​

Micki has created Tree of Life in order to open up the elusive world of yoga, and all its wonderful forms to the mainstream public. "Eliminating any stigma or misconception is my goal and making the amazing benefits of yoga available to all.”

 

“Micki’s classes are much different than any I have taken in my twenty year yoga practice. Her detailed instruction and training is based on current research and she teaches in such a skilled way, her classes are accessible for all levels.”
