A bit more about Michael:
Michael is both eclectic and energetic, just like his teaching style.
With a keen eye on precise alignment and room for playful free
expression, Michael teaches with tenacity and levity. Challenging the
class as a whole and fostering students individually, he provides
opportunities for the deepening of poses and practice as well as a
chance to "just let go."
Michael strives for a yoga applicable on and off that mat, integrating
the principals of proper exercise, a nutritious diet, breath control,
relaxation, and meditation. While holding a 200-hour Sivanada yoga
certification from the Vedanta Forest Academy (Yoga Alliance
recognized), he has also apprenticed under Iyengar teacher Kristen
Krash, bringing form and alignment to a freeing practice. A background
in public relations (George Mason University, Barksdale Ballard) and
comedy club hospitality (DC Improv) doesn't hurt the levity in the
room.
Michael's love for teaching yoga stems from his years of personal
practice, believing that yoga brings tranformation.

This workout was hard. Brian kept me motivated through the wall ball cleans which I thought was the toughest part. Round 3 though I wouldn't make it through the whole workout. Round 5 began to see the light. Round 7 was probably my fastest. Thanks Brian for making me use the 16lb ball!
