5 Minutes with Michelle Wilson, Certified Yoga Instructor Radiant Wellness Solutions

FAMILY: I'm married to Jay and have two sons Tom and Jake. Tom is 19 and just finished his freshman year at Iowa State, and my son, Jake, is in Lincoln, Nebraska, as the assistant brewer at a new brewery opening up called Cosmic Eye.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A YOGA INSTRUCTOR? I have been a yoga instructor since 2007, so this is my 12th year teaching.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT YOUR JOB? I feel like my mission is really to help people feel a greater sense of ease and joy in their life and yoga has been a really strong avenue in my life to experience that, so just being able to share that with other people is really rewarding.

WHAT IS YOUR #1 TIP FOR STAYING HEALTHY? Breathe. I think, breathe. Yeah. When it comes down to it there's so much to be said with just being able to take a breath.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD? There is this gluten free, dairy free tart called Hail Merry. It's like a "paleo" fudgy, dark chocolate treat. Hail Merry tart! Oh man!

BIRTHDAY CAKE OR ICE CREAM? Ice cream, but it would have to be dairy free ice cream because I'm high maintenance like that.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON? Probably spring. Just the green after the long Iowa winter, my eyes are just hungry for green.

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? Living life. Finding the small things. Being in nature really makes me happy. Breathing makes me happy. Yoga makes me happy.
