WHO WE ARE
The founder: Michelle Goodrick
Michelle Goodrick
Michelle Goodrick is fascinated by how perception and movement affect a person’s state of well-being. She completed her degree in psychology in the USA and furthered her studies on the topic of well-being with a master’s degree in sociology at Trinity College Dublin. She worked as a researcher and published articles in collaboration with an EU research team. She is certified in Yoga (E-RYT 200 & 500), YBR and studied under the instruction of Senior Iyengar Teachers, Jordi Martin in Spain and Billy Konrad in Portugal, where she worked as an assistant in the medical classes. She is certified as a Yoga Therapist and from 2010 to 2020 she opened and ran her own international practice and training studio in Seville, Spain. She is currently based in San Luis Potosi, Mexico where she is completing her Institutional Doctorate in Engineering and Materials Science (DICIM) at UASLP studying the effects of Yoga on mood disorders and its effect on the brain using the innovative neuroimaging technique, functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS).
Michelle put psychological theory into the practice of embodied cognition through the exploration of her own emotional and bodily challenges when she left university research to study Hatha Yoga in India. She has discovered and developed through her personal experience and that of her students, that the Karmuka Yoga methodology offers an extremely effective and practical way to relieve pain, focus the mind and reduce stress.

He studied Law and History at the University of the Republic, Uruguay, where he was born, and where he had his first contact with Sivananda Yoga in the 90s. But it was in 2013, while living in Florence, that she delved into the study of philosophy and totally changed her lifestyle, deepening her studies in meditation, Yoga Nidra, psychology and education in the area of sports and nutritional coaching. In 2019 she trained in Yoga Therapy with Michelle Goodrick, firmly channelling her vocation to transmit this knowledge to her students. She focuses on helping to channel the emotions and traumas that leave their mark on the body and mind.
