My name is Mike, I am an avid martial artist and explorer of all things that are unique and
interesting in life. I began practicing yoga in 2016, at age 43, at a local gym out of curiosity and to try something different other than weight lifting. I had some injuries and thought yoga might offer relief from chronic pain. I knew it was a way to improve physical fitness and help with
emotional balance and well-being, but what I found was much more than that. Yoga helped me connect my body, breath, and mind in a way that is transformative. As my body got stronger, I also began to tune in with the subtleties of the body and mind, and how things are all interconnected. Having fallen in love with the practice of yoga, I decided to enroll and complete my 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2022 with the aim of deepening my understanding,
practice, and spreading this wonderful jewel that is yoga. I hope to see you all on the mat so we can all explore and enjoy this wonderful journey together.
