Yoga Teacher Mikey Shines at Popular "Escape" Retreat
Mikey, a senior yoga teacher on a renowned platform, has been captivating students with his unique and engaging classes for several years. His journey into yoga began over a decade ago, when he was introduced to the physical practice as a young child by his parents, who followed a yogic path.
Before dedicating himself fully to yoga teaching, Mikey worked as a firefighter and personal trainer in Liverpool, UK. However, his deep commitment to yoga training and personal development led him to return to Pittsburgh in 2014, where he completed his Level One 200-hour yoga teacher training.
Since then, Mikey has been an active member of the yoga community, refining his practice and teaching skills. He found his niche in reading people's energy and offering safe, effective hands-on assists. In 2017, he renewed his training with a Level One course in New York to further refine his personal practice and plan his future as a teacher.
Mikey's yoga style is a fusion of Iyengar, Ashtanga, Power yoga, Pranayama, and subtle body methodologies. He completed his 200-hour teacher certification at One Point One Yoga by August 2020.
Outside of his yoga career, Mikey is a full-time parent to three young children. He enjoys indoor cycling, traveling, exploring new restaurants, and having solo drives while listening to podcasts and audiobooks.
One of Mikey's most popular offerings on the platform is his crossmat class, which he runs in the "Escape" Retreat, 200hr, and 300hr YTT programs. The next "Escape" Retreat is scheduled from March 31 - April 6. Booking in January offers a $250 discount for the retreat.
Mikey's students rave about his classes, describing him as fun, comprehensive, and a great teacher. Fi, a student of Mikey, shared, "His classes are super fun, comprehensive, and he's a great teacher." Justin, another student, found Mikey's classes exciting, fun, and diverse.
What keeps Mikey interested in yoga practice is its benefits for his physical health, mental state, and overall life experience. He runs his own Signature Retreat called "Escape" on the platform, and after working for the platform, he has been a lead teacher on the 100hr Refresh YTT, 200hr Foundation YTT, and 300hr Advanced YTT.
