MeshYoga

I like to think my semi-private classes at the MeshYoga Studio are special and unique. To me, a good class is an energy exchange from a teacher to her students. As much as my students receive guidance from me, I’m also reading their body movements so I can design and adjust the class in real time so each class is different. I simply know that we can’t expect ourselves to feel the same every day. At the end of the class, no one feels drained; rather, each one of us feels connected deeply to ourselves.

Meet the founder and inventor of MeshYoga and DaBo, Michelle Lou Lan. For the past 15 years she’s honed what she calls her “outside-in” teaching approach: strengthening and stretching the body in order to inspire us to care for our inner health as well.

Michelle is able to see and break down which parts of the body are being utilized in each pose, and thanks to that awareness and sensitivity of the body, she was able to create a fitness tool that can transform her and her students’ perspectives on what their bodies are capable of — that’s how DaBo was born.

After healing from a hip surgery, Michelle refined and redefined her approach to yoga with DaBo in order to see how students can improve their practice with proper alignment. Michelle’s journey has been all about using her expertise to dig deep and find the most effective approach to healing and alignment in the body while always keeping the beauty of movement in mind.

This is Michelle’s greatest passion, and you can experience her class at the MeshYoga Studio in Melrose Place — link in bio to book.

Let’s examine DaBo layer by layer! The top of DaBo is a sturdy & high quality vegan leather cushion featuring two strips of yoga mat material to make your practice feel familiar and comfortable.

Don’t forget to grab your inversion top to shake up your practice — seeing the world from a new perspective (even upside down!) is a beautiful and fresh feeling. 🦢

One thing you’ll hear us say at MeshYoga is ”where modern meets traditional.“ This is more than just a tagline — it‘s our heart behind what we do. Yoga has such a rich history, both in instruction and in practice, and we can only hope that a modern approach through an invention like DaBo will deepen students’ connection with its traditional aspects.

As we move through April, consider how beautiful it can be to set new intentions in the spring. This season, turn inward and connect deeply with yourself to experience the renewal it has to offer. The flowers are blooming, and so are you. 🪷

Happy Thursday — just wanted to let you know we appreciate you very matcha. 🍵

Our class with Camberlyn was a beautiful example of how determination and trusting yourself can make movement so much more vibrant. You can really sense Camberlyn’s confidence and focus when she practices — she was calmly aware of what her body was doing at all times, and she was deeply feeling and breathing through each pose. When she does something new she really gives her all without an ounce of self doubt; it’s really refreshing to see.

DaBo isn’t just a product — it’s a journey back to the essence of yourself. Feel the difference with intentional design that encourages alignment and fosters a deeper connection to your practice. Start your journey now at our LA Studio. 🦢

Surrender in movement, and in life, is all about giving up the need for control and giving yourself a chance to reach your uninhibited potential. Hermine is the perfect example of someone who approaches movement with this mindset. She’s been doing private sessions with and we’re incredibly proud of how far she’s come. One of the most remarkable things about Hermine’s practice is the way she breathes. She lets her breath guide her into allowing her body to do amazing things. Her practice is all about letting go.

A beautiful sunny morning reflecting the beauty all around us.

It takes careful observation, and education, and reflection, and communication with others, just to scratch the surface of your beliefs. 🌎🕊️
