Michele Fisher

Michele Fisher E-RYT-500 has been instructing yoga for over 10 years. She began her yoga studies with Yoga Master Baron Baptiste in 2004 and continues her studies with him today by attending and assisting Baron at regular trainings and bootcamps. Within three years and after several Bootcamps with Baron she learned more about herself than all the prior years of yoga studies.

After her first Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Bootcamp in 2006 she found that her strengths and weaknesses had NOW become very clear. She has learned to NOT be afraid to put herself out there! She has taken on new experiences and new challenges in her life that have made her a pillar in her community. She found herself facing resistance head on and her life and teaching began to transform. Michele is a Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher.  She is a committed to continued learning as a student and teacher of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga.

Michele teaches from experience and has assisted many people in reaching their full leadership potential through her yoga teachings. In each class she provides her students with life awakening experience pushing them to reach outside their comfort zones tapping into their true potential and achieving goals they had never dreamed possible. Her reward as a teacher is being present for the countless transformations happening daily with her students. It is her passion to help others find and live their “Truth” within! Michele is a program participant of First Priority BC/BS of Northeastern Pennsylvania. She is also a 500hr. level registered Teacher with the Yoga Alliance.

“Baron Baptiste has been such an inspiration in my life, I am truly grateful to him!  I feel blessed to be part of this Baptiste Community.  This special group of people has finally provided me with the support of a yoga family. I have found my home!”

Michele founded the name Mystic Yoga in March of 2008 and on January 1, 2009 Michele opened the Mystic Power Yoga Studio. Michele followed her dream and with persistence made it a reality. In July 2009 The Mystic Power Yoga Studio was accepted by The Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Institute as a Baptiste Affiliate Studio. Mystic Power Yoga is now one of 44 affiliate studios in the United States, one of 5 in Pennsylvania and the first in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

We are so excited about this new partnership, explains Michele Fisher, Owner of Mystic Power Yoga and Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Instructor. We will do our very best at the Mystic Power Yoga Studio to uphold the credibility, vision and mission of the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga Institute. A HUGE Thank You to Baron Baptiste and the Baptiste Certification Panel for this amazing opportunity!

Karma Yogini – Jennifer Sloot – Practice Support

“In 2009 I ruptured my hamstring. After exhausting all resources to fix this problem, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Michele Fisher at Mystic Power Yoga. This was my first experience in the world of yoga and became totally hooked. Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga offered by Michele through Mystic Power Yoga has helped my leg but more importantly, has led me down a path of inner and outer, flexibility, strength and growth. I am eternally grateful for this incredible opportunity and community support that is at every class.”

Karma Yogini – Maureen Brown – Marketing Support/Community Outreach

“In late 2007 I took my first Vinyasa Yoga class with Michele Fisher. I was immediately addicted to the physical and spiritual rewards of the practice. My flexibility, strength, posture and patience improved dramatically. Each practice leaves me with a new sense of inner peace and truth. I am very blessed and grateful for having Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga through Mystic Power Yoga in my community. It has truly changed my life!”

Karma Yogini – Emily Finer – Fundraising Support

“Baptiste Power Yoga has enriched my life by making me willing to take chances, accept challenges, and that it’s okay to fall down. Everything I do on my mat reflects how I am in life. I am so grateful to Michele for her guidance, encouragement, and commitment to her students.”

Karma Yogini – Valerie Flaim – Special Events Support

“Mystic Power Yoga has expanded my appreciation for the benefits of yoga, on and off the mat. I enjoy being a part of such a welcoming and supportive Community. Yoga has enriched me with a renewed sense of energy and passion in my life. Thank you Michele and Mystic Power Yoga for challenging and motivating me!”

Karma Yogini – Teresa Hutchison – Practice Support

“I am finding great satisfaction-practicing yoga at Mystic Power Yoga Studio, Michele introduced me to yoga many years ago. Although my practice has been limited due to physical injuries Michele has taught me many modifications. I am learning how to modify where I need to modify and try to push myself to the edge when my intuition urges me to.”

“The Mystic Power Yoga Community has been a HUGE support and encouraging. The relationships I am building are an invaluable tool for my growth spiritually, physically, and emotionally! Yoga has been the one exercise that actually improves the quality of my life, lessons my pain instead of increasing it, and helps me get out of my head and be present in my life.”

“I am learning to listen to my body and take care of myself in a proactive way, strengthening, and stretching, relaxing and invigorating, this is why I love Mystic Power Yoga!”

Karma Yogini – Melissa Ritz – Practice Support / Kids Yoga

After several years of running I began to feel discomfort in my knees. I wanted to remain active without the potential of further damage, so I thought I’d give yoga a shot. After my first experience at Mystic Power Yoga I was hooked. Since practicing with Michele Fisher I have become stronger both physically and mentally. Michele strives for the best in all of her students and for that I am truly grateful.

“Melissa has a passion for working with Children of all needs, we are thrilled with the support and knowledge she contributes to our kids yoga classes!” ~ Michele Fisher
