Approach and Experience
Founded in 1997, the studio emphasizes safe, effective instruction delivered by experienced staff. Owner Michelle Maue has personally taught thousands of classes and brings a background in competitive tennis and a deep understanding of how yoga counteracts the physical stress of desk work. The practice encourages each student to go at their own pace while learning techniques like breathwork (pranayama) to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. St Louis Corporate Yoga has been featured in local media and maintains a strong reputation for professionalism. For those interested in starting a teaching career or deepening their practice, the studio offers a supportive, small-group environment with an actionable business plan component.
