About the Director
Michele L. Pearson is the Director of The Yoga Suite-Center for Yoga Studies (YSCYS), and a dedicated Iyengar Yoga student and teacher. She was introduced to the Iyengar tradition of yoga while attending Wayne State University, where she received a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism. After graduating she searched for an Iyengar teacher in her area to help nurture her newfound interest. She realized after a few misplaced years that if she wanted to continue her studies in the Iyengar Method she’d have to travel to another city. Her weekly trek of nearly 50 miles each way is a testament of her dedication to her practice and her commitment to broaden the reach of Iyengar Yoga in her area. She is honored to continue her studies with her previous college yoga teacher, one of BKS Iyengar’s most senior teachers, Laurie Blakeney. 
She attributes her deep affection for the subject as a true testament of the quality of education and instruction she has received from Blakeney and a wealth of other great teachers
she has met along the way. Pearson opened YSCYS in May of 2009. She also teaches Iyengar Yoga in other studios throughout the Metro Detroit area upon request. She trusts that her commitment and love for the subject of yoga will continue to ignite sparks in others as she refines her sadhana (practice). Pearson has been studying Iyengar Yoga for over 12 years and has been teaching for nearly 5 years. She is a member of the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States (IYNAUS) and currently holds an Introductory certification.
In addition to her yoga studies, Pearson is developing a line of yoga promotional items including yoga wear (G3 Gear), yoga influenced jewelry and accessories, and yoga educational items. She also assists serious students design and decorate personal yoga spaces within their home or business to further develop their personal practices. She offers private and group lessons in her studio as well as in your home or business. She is available for consultation upon request.
