Michael simply wants to help people get enlightened.  If more people were aware of the benefits and what it took to get enlightened, then very few people would hesitate to get started.  Although the process requires a tremendous amount of training, practice and mantra recitation…the results are well worth it.
Michael has lived, taught and co-founded the Mandala Center in Rochester, Michigan.  He has been teaching Yoga Alliance certified teacher trainings since 2003 and advanced teacher trainings since 2007.  Recently, he and his wife Stephanie, moved to Asheville, NC to continue learning, practicing and teaching.
