The Practice
The Practice is a sacred feminine spiritual system, founded and created by Michelle Young over a decade ago. It brings women together in circle and ceremony to remember, to reclaim, and to return to themselves. Through deep reflection, meditation, authentic sharing, ritual, and ceremony, women are led on a journey into their truest, deepest selves. The Practice is not just something we do, it is a way of living. A way of being.
It is about learning to listen to the voice within, the quiet, steady drumbeat of the soul, the one who always knows. We learn first to listen, and then to honor that voice. To live a life of devotion to Her—the wise and true inner self.
Along the way, we explore and unravel the ancient feminine patterns and inherited wounds that have kept us small, silent, and disconnected for generations. Because in order for the feminine to truly rise, and for this aching world to heal, those wounds must be witnessed, tended, and transmuted. And we cannot do it alone.
When one woman speaks her truth and is witnessed, we all heal. When one woman finds the courage to rise, break free, and come home to herself, we all rise.
This is the magic of The Practice.
It is ceremony.
It is connection.
It is sisterhood.
It is a spiritual path back to the feminine self.
A note
from Michelle
Soon after I opened my first yoga studio—created just for women— The Practice was born. Women came for yoga, but it quickly became clear that they were craving something more. They wanted connection. Not just to their bodies, but to themselves, to each other, and to something deeper.
I listened. I attuned. And I began to open the class to our voices. I invited women to share their truth. Tears would flow. Walls would soften. Shifts happened, just from creating a space where we could speak and be witnessed.
That was the beginning of The Practice.
Over the past decade, it has evolved into a sacred system that holds us and guides us back to who we truly are.
It’s not just a method, it’s a way home.
The Practice is pure magic
— Michelle
The Practice
Three Ways to Journey with
At Her Sanctuary, there are three pathways to experience The Practice and deepen your work with Michelle Young.
Quarterly Day Retreats & Immersions
Join Michelle and a circle of women at Her Sanctuary for a day-long immersion into community and sacred self-connection. These seasonal gatherings are designed for women navigating transitions, moving through a death and rebirth moment, or simply longing for deeper connection, to themselves and to one another.
Each retreat is rooted in the teachings of The Practice, and offers space for reflection, ritual, sacred sharing, and realignment with your truth. Come as you are. Leave renewed, held, and deeply seen.
The Practice Path: A Yearlong Journey in Ceremonial Leadership & Feminine Devotion
This path weaves together:
- Sacred space holding and ceremony facilitation
- Feminine embodiment and personal shadow work
- A supportive cohort of sister leaders
- Deep healing of inherited feminine patterns
- Spiritual and practical tools for leadership rooted in love, truth, and ritual
It is part sacred leadership, part personal rebirth, and part ceremonial facilitation. For the woman who knows she is here to hold space, guide others, and rise, not just for herself, but for the collective.
Private Mentorship with Michelle
Michelle works privately with a small number of women each year in an intimate 6-month container. This is a deeply held death-and-rebirth process designed to support you through a major life transition or to move through a long-held pattern that’s ready to shift.
Through sacred conversation, ritual, shadow work, and the teachings of The Practice, you’ll be gently but powerfully guided back to yourself, more whole, more clear, more alive.
This is for the woman ready to break through and rise.
