Mike began practicing yoga in 2007 as a means of augmenting his existing fitness regimen. He soon discovered that the physical benefits, while considerable, were only part of what yoga had to offer. In 2010 he completed the Yoga Alliance 200 hour teacher training certification at Invoke. Mike finds that yoga helps him handle the stress associated with work related travel which has taken him to every state except Alaska. This same travel has allowed him to pursue his yoga practice in a number of states. Mike is grateful for the teachers, classmates and students that have and will continue to inspire him.
