Yoga Teaching Testimonials

“Michelle was my first teacher - I don’t mean an impersonal or ‘regular’ studio class teacher - she was my first real yoga teacher who introduced, led and guided a large group of us through a 30-day yoga detox at Pure Yoga Singapore, which opened my eyes up to a whole new world and left me inspired. Michelle shared her knowledge unstintingly, and every class was wonderful. Singapore lost one amazing non-instagram, non-gymnastics teacher, one with so much heart and soul, when she left. And I wouldn’t be the only one who felt this way...” Wuen Tan, Singapore

“When Michelle was teaching in HK, her yoga classes were hugely popular. We miss Michelle’s warm and joyful personality as well as the depth of her yoga knowledge and experience. She also brings with her expertise in fitness, homeopathy, health and nutrition. Michelle’s yoga classes truly integrate body, heart and soul—giving you a stronger, fitter, toned and more agile body as well as a sense of joy, wholeness and gratitude. I can’t recommend Michelle’s classes enough. She is truly a gifted yoga instructor.” Bobbi Hernandez, Hong Kong

"I met Michelle at Flex in Hong Kong when I did my first ever Detox week , she is not only an amazing yoga instructor, giving detailed explanation but also making you understand the purpose of yoga . You learn so much with her about everything from nutrition to chakras, to self healing . She is so passionate about everything she teaches . Thanks to Michelle I discovered yoga could be much more than only asanas and decided to learn more by doing a yoga teacher training.I wish her all the best in London and hope that she will be able to share her passion with new students very soon." Valerie Ascoli, Hong Kong

“Michelle was not only my yoga teacher, she was also helping my Mother get physically healthy. Since Michelle left, my mom has stopped practicing yoga, she unfortunately has not found anyone who could teach her with the same spirit, genuity and safety.  I, myself miss Michelle’s energy, I used to go to many classes of hers and always learnt something new, be it a new pose or something deeper, heartfelt.  I also attended 2 of her detox programs, it was educational and fun and my gut and health benefited tremendously.  Needless to say, I am a fan and London is lucky to have her.”  Monica Low, Singapore

“Michelle, having participated in both your detox workshops, I truly benefited tremendously mentally and physically from your teachings and sharings. Through your first detox program back about 10 years ago, I lost 15kgs in 5 months. Though I have gained back half of it now, my yoga journey has been enriched by your teachings on chakra and on wholesome food for the body.” Jean Tan, Singapore

“I met Michelle as both a homeopath and yoga teacher, at a pivotal time of my life. I was coming out of a difficult time, involving physical abuse, and chronic depression. Michelle’s blend of expertise, in nutrition, homeopathy and detox yoga, was perfect for my healing process. Her 10 day detox program, combining both theory and asana, was well designed and led. If I could take it again, I would! Clare Lim, Hong Kong

“Michelle, 10 years ago I attended your detox program through Pure Yoga, and am still enjoying the benefits from it 10 years later. Thank you.” Jessica Lau, Hong Kong

“Michelle’s teaching style is really incredible, I managed to achieve more with my physical body and relax my mind more then I have ever done in all my years of practicing yoga. Thank you.” Hannah Bearcroft, UK

Michelle your classes are just amazing. I am so thrilled to have found you in London.” Lara Lagard, UK

Natural Medicine Treatment Testimonials

ASTHMA

"I brought my 5 year old daughter to see Michelle Ricaille at the round clinic June 2016. My daughter was diagnosed with asthma and since the age of 3 months coughed every single day until the age of 5 years. My daughter was on various medicines and constantly on steroid inhalers. Nothing worked. Michelle prescribed one homeopathic medicine "her constitution" she had to take it for 20 days. After about 15 days into the taking the homeopathic medicine she just stopped coughing. It has been now 2.5 months of no coughing and no need for steroid inhalers. My wife and I could not believe it and now we use homeopathic medicine for all of our children's needs"   MARY, Hong Kong September 2016

CHRONIC ALLERGIES

"I moved to Hong Kong in 2011, three months after arriving, I started to have itchy eyes, constant runny nose and sometimes would sneeze 100 times/day. I was put on various antihistamines and these would only help for a few minutes. I was using nasal sprays every 5 minutes. In the past 5 years, I saw over 5 doctors and was on 8 different drugs. I had spent over $50,000 HKD in treatment for my allergies. In December of 2016 I saw Michelle Ricaille at the Round Clinic and she spent over 1.5 hours with me asking many questions. She prescribed what she calls a "constitutional" medicine. The medicine that matches me as a person and all of my symptoms. Within 7 days, I was having around 50% relief, I went in for a follow up 2 weeks later and she increased my dosage and in 5 days I was 90% better. I went back one last time 3 weeks later, she gave me 1 high dose and since March 2016, I am 100% cured. No more allergies. I am so thankful for homeopathic medicine" Mike, Hong Kong March 2016

SEVERE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

"Since a teenager, I suffered from severe menstrual cramps, where I could not get out of bed for two days. The pain became so bad I would have to go to the hospital for morphine. I saw Michelle Ricaille April 2017 and she spent a long time with me asking lots of questions. She prescribed one medicine that I had to take for 20 days. My period came 3 weeks after I saw to Michelle, I was sure it was not going to work so as always I took 2 days off work. To my surprise I had no pain at all. Not one little cramp. I could not not believe it. It has been now 4 months and I have not had any menstrual cramps. Like so many people out there I did not believe in homeopathic medicine, my friend told me what do you have to loose, just try it. I am so thankful for homeopathic medicine and now 100% believer" Penny, Hong Kong August 2017

CHRONIC YEAST INFECTION

"I suffered from chronic yeast infections for 12 years, since 1999. I saw many gynecologists and took many conventional medicines a long with very high doses of probiotics, nothing worked and my condition worsened every few months. I saw Michelle Ricaille in 2011 at a free clinic in Singapore, she gave me some white pills (she says "this is your constitutional medicine" and told me to take this 1 week before I get me period. I did as she said and to my surprise it was the first time I did not have any symptoms of yeast infection in 12 years. I went back for a follow up after my period and she told me to take those white pills again 1 week before my period every month for 10 months. I did just that and never again did I have a yeast infection. It is now 2017 and have not had one yeast infection. Before I never believed in homeopathic medicine, many people would say it's fake, its just placebo. Now I am a 100% believer. Its natural, safe, no side effects, and for those who think its just placebo, then why not try it, who knows it may just cure your years of chronic health problems" Angela, Singapore April 2017

CHRONIC IBS

"Since I was a child I suffered from severe IBS. I always had to stay close to a toilet and would always need to bring extra clothes with me everywhere I go even at the age of 35. I saw over 16 specialist and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I tried various drugs, nothing worked. I saw Michelle Ricaille February of 2017 and she spent almost 2 hours with me, asking me lots of questions. We both came to the realization that the root cause of my IBS was all emotionally related . She prescribed me a homeopathic medicine to take daily to help manage my stress, depression, anxiety and anger. It took around 12 days for the medicine to have an effect, after the 12th day I no longer had to run to the bathroom. I am still taking the homeopathic medicine only when I feel I need it and I would say I am 95% better. I am very thankful to Michelle and homeopathic medicine. I can now live life, work hard and now think about having a relationship." Sarah, Hong Kong September 2017

ECZEMA, ALLERGIES, DIGESTIVE ISSUES

“ I had suffered from multiple health problems for many years starting with childhood eczema above my eyes, constant colds and running nose, allergies, sinus pain, headaches, joint pain and digestive issues. These issues became much worse in my 30s and into my early forties and and one point I was taking at least two different anti-histamines daily. I had already been dairy free for many years, and went low FODMAP, low histamine and gluten free about a year before I met Michelle. I was practicing yoga daily, and having weekly acupuncture sessions and seeing an osteopath. I had tried most alternative therapies from shamanic healing to frog venom! All of these things were helping and I was managing my health issues when I met Michelle, but everything was still there. Michelle explained that I wasn’t really tackling the core problem and that homeopathy could help me. I was quite skeptical as I had tried so many therapies and never really believed that my health issues could clear up completely. I had also tried homeopathic remedies before with no results. However Michelle explained the homeopathic system which I had never understood before, it turned out that I was taking huge doses of the wrong homeopathic medicine which can have a counter effect. We had a long consultation where she asked me about my health issues and then my likes and dislikes. Some of it didn’t seem to be at all relevant but as I liked Michelle I thought I would give it a go. She started me off on a remedy which I took for a week and then stopped. I researched it and found out that it was a remedy for grief. I have experienced a lot of loss in my life only some of which Michelle knew about. Things improved almost immediately and I felt confident that the treatment would work. After about two weeks she started me on a low potency of another medicine which I again researched. I was taken aback to find that this medicine matched my personality in every respect. It was as if a close friend had written down my traits and habits. The improvement was again marked, my digestive issues, allergies and eczema symptoms improved by 95% since taking what Michelle calls “my constitutional remedy” After many years of emotional and physical suffering I feel confident and hopeful about the future. Michelle is passionate about healing, unlike a lot of practitioners she will be able to treat you in very few sessions, the initial consultation followed by one or possibly two reviews. She will also check in with you via email. Homeopathy has been by far the cheapest alternative therapy I have tried and the most effective. I would have no hesitation in recommending homeopathy and Michelle to anyone. Please do not be convinced by the negative media homeopathy has received over recent years, I can only imagine that the writers have at best not understood the homeopathic system properly and at worst been influenced by the pharmaceutical giants whose business it is to discount any treatment that they have not patented.” SUE R, London Nov. 2019

AGGRESSIVE & CHALLENGING BEHAVIOR CHILD

“I took my 5 year old daughter to see Michelle back in October 2019 due to her aggressive and challenging behavior. She would have uncontrollable screaming temper tantrums that would last 5-15min around 3 times a day. I had tried everything before seeing Michelle and we were about to start a very expensive treatment which would have cost us over £10,000. Michelle was spot on regarding my daughter’s “condition” and the homeopathic treatment Michelle recommended worked amazingly! She is a different child. She is not aggressive anymore and less of a challenge: just “normal” cheeky behavior that I’m sure is part of her unique personality. Since October she has had only 2 short temper tantrums a huge improvement from 3 times a day. Michelle was so attentive to details and asked questions that other professionals haven’t considered. I would highly recommend Michelle to any parents out there struggling with the same issues. It only took 2 sessions and by far the most low cost and effective treatment we have done for her.” Juliana, London February 2020
