I use yoga as a metaphor for life. That being said, I think that a yoga journey should be fun! I am not saying that the practice should not be challenging or that it won’t encourage you to test and expand your limits, but yoga is about your own personal journey. I want my journey to be a fun one! I am a 200-hour Registered Yoga Instructor, and I’m also a real person, and I recognize that I’m teaching real people.

I am not saying that the practice should not be challenging or that it won’t encourage you to test and expand your limits, but yoga is about your own personal journey. I want my journey to be a fun one! I am a 200-hour Registered Yoga Instructor, and I’m also a real person, and I recognize that I’m teaching real people.

Each class that I teach has its own beat, a vibration, and its own pulse. I choose each pose with an alignment-based focus that I believe helps us deepen our yoga experience/practice. As a young man, I found that dance helped me move through those hard times. I use my dance background to help create interesting and original sequencing that allows my students to move like themselves. I believe that through movement, we thrive. Through movement you can find your own rhythm and connect to your own truth. 

Questions. Answers.

Favorite Brooklyn Hang Out Spot:

Brooklyn Whiskers Bakery in Bedford. They have THE BEST vegan desserts. I also just love to people watch and make my playlist there. It’s a super chill vibe.

What are you most passionate about outside of yoga?

Dance. Movement has been a part of my entire life and continues to be a place where I find inner strength and a yearning to grow.

Best advice you’ve ever been given?

I have 2. First being: “You are what you repeatedly do.” Second being: “Michael, don’t take life too seriously. It’s all an illusion.” A dance teacher gave me that advice when I was in 3rd grade. I still thank him to this day for that.

What about teaching yoga inspires you?

When students remind me that we can achieve anything and that we all have boundless energy.
