Wellness Shoot with Michelle from Spirit MOVZ

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle from Spirit MOVZ, who teaches a wide variety of classes including, Qigong. We did a beach shoot where we first took photos of a “class setting” - Michelle brought some students who graciously let us photograph them to use for promoting Michelle's classes! And then we moved onto some outdoor wellness inspired brand photos for Michelle so she can have some fresh, vibrant photos for her socials and website!



A little about Michelle 

Michelle from Spirit MOVZ is a Holden Certified Qigong Instructor and she has 30 + years experience as a Movement Specialist. Michelle offers a wide variety of classes including, Qigong, Partners Salsa and Bachata, Barre Cardio Fusion, Latin Groovz and Burlesque Fusion.



Michelle from Spirit MOVZ and I met at a small business networking event at Shale Ridge in Thedford, where the speakers were inspiring the attendees to keep going and follow their dreams and passions. Michelle was brave enough to speak in front of the whole group and explain her business in a few words. After the event, we spoke and there was an instant connection over our love for natural healing and the importance of nature with wellness.


I always wanted to try Qigong but hadn't met the right person to introduce me, until now!



A little about Qigong

Qigong (pronounced Chee Gong) is like Tai Chi but no memorizing steps needed. You simply follow the instructor through the movements.


Qigong is a grounded in Taoist tradition where the relation between emotions, organ systems of the body, elements in nature and the universe all work together, transforming negative stagnant emotions and energy into positive healing energy in the body for Longevity, Health, Vitality, Strength and Flexibility.



Qigong - literally "Qi work" or "life energy cultivation". The art and science to cultivate and balance Qi, deeply rooted in chinese medicine, philosophy and martial arts. It's a system of coordinated body postures, moves, breathing and meditation techniques to improve health, to calm the mind, and to condition for martial arts. - The Taijiquan & Qigong Dictionary

Qigong uses breath work, slow water like movements, relaxation and meditation. No experience is needed to try this class and afterwards you'll leave feeling centred and relaxed.


During our shoot..

True to her practice, Michelle from Spirit MOVZ understands the importance of connection to self and connection to nature. Our shoot portrayed that nature connection by playing with all the elements! It was a fun shoot where we used the sand and leaves and trees and beach and rocks as our props and models!


I'm so grateful to bring Michelle's vibrant energy to life with beautiful imagery in a natural setting with all the elements - beach, sand, wind, trees, and of course, energy!



Feel what you need to feel and then let it go. Do not let it consume you.


Michelle is a ray of sunshine - happy and free. She was a delight to work with and as we both continue to grow our businesses focused on health and well-being, we'll continue to work together to promote her future offerings and the amazing work of healing through movement!
