New to Lancaster, Rooted in Tradition

Hi, I’m Michelle Dortignac. I may be new to Lancaster, but yoga has been part of my life for a very long time. I’ve been teaching for over 27 years, and practicing for even longer.

And now, after two years of quietly settling in, I’m ready to present My Own Yoga—personalized yoga classes for just one to three students at a time, offered from my cozy in-home studio.

My Own Yoga will contribute another facet to the vibrant yoga scene here in Lancaster—a small quiet space, a slower pace, and a kind of close attention that is personal and supportive.

For some people, these personalized classes might become their main way to practice. For others, it might be something they explore alongside group classes or a home routine. However it fits into your life, I’m here to support you just as you are.

I’ve never believed in a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga. Every student brings something unique, and every teacher holds a different perspective. That variety is part of what makes a yoga community strong. There is room for many voices, many styles, and many ways in.

I feel lucky to now call Lancaster home. Whether you’re new to town or have lived here all your life, whether you’ve practiced yoga for decades or are just curious to begin, I’d love to meet you.

Let’s grow something meaningful together.
