Michael holds a 200-hour Sivanada yoga certification from the Vedanta Forest Academy. One fortuitous day while canvassing for a nuclear nonproliferation nonprofit, Michael came across a yoga teacher kind enough to donate to the cause and invite him to grace one of her classes. A single 75 minute class was enough to whet his curiosity for a lifetime. He now works to spark the fire of students as his once was lit.
After studying at a Sivananda ashram in the Bahamas, Michael apprenticed under Iyengar teacher Kristen Krash. Eclectic in his interests and practices, he has also worked in the vinyasa modality with Bryan Kest and Vinny Marino. With a background in public relations [George Mason University, Barksdale Ballard] and comedy club hospitality [DC Improv] Michael brings levity and real world applications to his pedagogy (along with an eye for correct alignment and a taste for intelligent sequencing).
In 2009 Michael founded Mid City Yoga, a boutique yoga company. Knowing that the powerful and transformative effects of yoga aren't dictated by any four walls, Mid City Yoga specializes in bringing yoga to unconventional spaces. Mid City Yoga provides opportunities for practitioners to experience all that yoga has to offer, regardless of location, props, or setting. Rooftops, poolside, roadside, or even in the boardroom, Michael uses the versatility and integrity of a tradition-rich practice to teach anywhere and everywhere.
Yoga takes up a huge spot in Michael's heart, but he has many loves. Volunteering for community supported agriculture (not-for-profit farms that bring organic practices to under served communities), running marathons around the country, and climbing the occasional tree or statue all take up big chunks of his time. He wishes more time was spent on the water: rowing, surfing, and skiing. But, if you had to go looking for him, odds are good you'll find him out in the world earning and laughing: after all, life is too important to be taken seriously.
