Michael is an Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga teacher by the Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysore, India. He spent years studying with and assisting long time Ashtanga teachers Kimberly Flynn and Dr. John Campbell in NYC before embarking on annual trips to India to practice under the guidance of lineage holder Sharath Jois. Michael has lived over a year in India pursuing his yoga sadhana. He is also a constant student of philosophy. His teachers include MA Jayashree and MA Narasimha in India, Dr. Edwyn Bryant at Rutgers University and Shantala Shriramaiah from the Mysore lineage of Veda chanting.
Michael teaches how he was taught, taking a non-dogmatic approach to yoga practice. The practice is always molded to the student and never vice versa. He takes pride in the great diversity of students that have come through his practice room throughout the years.
Yoga is meant to excel the evolution of the human being. Through the use of proper posture, breath control, and consistent focus we catapult ourselves from a savage to a civilized state of mind. Yoga is both process and product; the beginning of the journey and the final destination.
