Flexy Michelle was nicknamed Flexy because of her exceptional flexibility. It was a nickname that became her business name! She is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and is a yoga, barre, flexibility, and beginner pole instructor. She is also a novice contortionist, pole fitness enthusiast/competitor, nutritionist, university graduate, volunteer, and travelling sun chaser! Before she decided to pursue a career in health and wellness, she was a rigid, type-A academic destined for law school. However, she developed epilepsy at the age of 21 which created many twists and turns. Epilepsy lead her to re-discover yoga, which was something she actually started at the age of 12 and is now 34. She is a jack-of-all-trades! People are often shocked to learn that she did stand-up comedy for eight years!

However, after a catastrophic car accident in Cozumel Mexico in 2006, her life changed forever. Her speech was temporarily affected, she was immobile for months, and developed epilepsy from the head trauma. Yoga is what helped her regain her physical and mental strength and agility.
