The lotus flower means different things in different cultures but the main premises of the flower is that it has the ability to rise above the dark, muddy water into bloom and reach the light regardless. For this reason, it can represent hope, rebirth and renewal. The mud plays a symbolic role as a represents human suffering and all of the challenging and difficult things we face in life. The Mud serves as a life lesson, it is always there, waiting to teach us something, helping us grow from the experience, breaking free of its grip, blossoming as we do. There is a saying that goes like this, "No mud. No lotus." And what it tells us is that we have to go through the difficult, and sometimes painful stuff to get to our true selves. We must, sometimes go through the darkness to get to the light.Founder of No Mud No Lotus LLC, Michele Marie brings 10 years of advanced yoga training, specializing in somatic therapy, fitness training and clinical studies.She has a deep love and passion for being of service to others and inspiring to improve wellness and commitment to long-term health and fitness goals through physical movement, breathing techniques, stretching and, of course, mindfulness…paying attention to what you're doing and where you're going.Michele has adapted to the philosophy "Our tissues store our issues until we acknowledge them, and let them go" strengthening the mind body, physical body, breath body is imperative to whole Wellness, to make the body and mind strong and balanced.Michele combines her extensive yoga education, training and teaching experience along with her clinical therapy studies to introduce you to the tools of yoga, to help you reconnect with your mind, body and self.
