I come to you in Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta & Palm Springs

Beginners welcome

Virtual worldwide

You do not have to fit yourself into someone else's practice.

Private sessions create room to slow down, ask questions, and work with what your body and mind need today.

Whether you want to move with more confidence, begin meditating, explore prenatal yoga, return after time away, or simply feel less rushed, I'll meet you there.

Ask about availability

A practice with room for every version of you.

Some days call for strength and curiosity. Others ask for quiet, rest, and one steady breath. Private practice can hold both.

Private aqua yoga in the comfort of your own pool.

Water supports your weight while creating gentle resistance, making movement more comfortable for tender joints. My private aqua yoga sessions are especially welcoming for arthritis, joint pain, post-surgery recovery, pregnancy, limited mobility — with your doctor's or midwife's clearance — or anyone who finds getting down to the floor uncomfortable.

I bring an adaptable water yoga practice to pools throughout the Coachella Valley, with early-morning sessions available during the hottest part of summer.

You do not need a pool of your own. Your own pool, a community pool where you live, or a friend's pool all work equally well. Resort pools generally do not.

$150 for 60 minutes — the same as any in-person private session, plus travel.

Simple, personal, and unhurried.

Every session begins with a conversation and adapts from there. There is no performance, no perfect pose, and nothing to prove.

01

Tell me what you need

Share what is bringing you to the mat, what feels good, and what you want to change. No special flexibility or experience is required.

02

Practice at your pace

I shape the session in real time, offering clear options and enough space to notice what your body and mind are telling you.

03

Take the practice with you

Leave with simple movements, breathwork, or meditation cues you can return to between sessions.

A lifelong student of movement.

My name is Michelle Ostermyer. Belle is the name behind BelleYogi, and my teaching blends the discipline of dance with the steadiness of yoga and meditation.

A lifelong dancer, I first turned to yoga to quiet the pace of New York City and bring balance back to everyday life. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, went on to complete my 500-hour training, and continued my study through prenatal yoga, aerial yoga, and bodyART.

Based in Palm Desert, I create attentive, encouraging sessions for people who want a practice that feels human, useful, and genuinely their own.

Move well. Feel steady. Stay curious.

Everything you need to begin.

Private means the details can be shaped around you. These are the questions people ask most often before their first session.

How long is a session?

Private yoga sessions are 60 minutes. Meditation and breathwork can be woven into that hour at no extra cost, or you can extend to 90 minutes with a dedicated 30-minute meditation practice. Standalone meditation sessions are 30 minutes and offered virtually.

Where do sessions take place?

In your space. I travel to you and bring mats and props, so there is nothing you need to set up or buy. A travel fee applies depending on location. Just ask and I will quote it.

Do I need my own pool for aqua yoga?

No. Your own pool, a community pool where you live, or a friend's pool all work equally well. Resort pools generally do not. Aqua yoga is $150 for 60 minutes, the same as any in-person private session, plus travel. Early-morning sessions are available through the hottest part of summer.

Do I need any equipment or experience?

Neither. I bring everything, and no prior experience or flexibility is required.

What should I wear?

Something comfortable that you can move in.

Can you work with injuries or during pregnancy?

Yes. I am a Yoga Alliance registered prenatal yoga teacher (RPYT), and I modify for injuries, limited mobility, and other conditions. Tell me what is going on before we start and I will build the session around it. Beginners are genuinely welcome; most of my private clients are.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.

How do virtual sessions work?

We meet live online, so it is a real private session rather than a video you follow along to — I can see you and adjust as we go. I will help you set up your space beforehand so you have room to move, and you need nothing beyond a device you can prop up. I teach from Palm Desert on Pacific time and regularly work across other time zones; tell me where you are and we will find an hour that suits us both. Virtual sessions are $85, with no travel fee.

How do I pay?

Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.
