The Artist
The natural world inspires Michael’s creativity. Through curious exploration and the use of natural materials, he reconnects with the earth, spirit, and his ancestral beginnings. He finds this process to ground, comfort, heal, and energize him while strengthening his bond with nature, with himself, and with the shared universal life-force energies that surround us.
By sharing his work, Michael aims to ignite and inspire others’ personal, spiritual, and emotional connection to the natural world through creative expression. Through greater consciousness, mindfulness, and respect, he believes we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
The Yogi
Michael began practicing Bikram Yoga in 2017, initially to relieve stress and quiet his mind. What started as a personal practice soon became a transformative experience. After years of living with chronic back and neck pain, he discovered yoga as a powerful form of holistic therapy. providing lasting relief, restoring his health, and fostering profound mental and emotional well-being.
In 2025, Michael became a certified teacher, driven by a desire to help others. He is honored to share Bikram’s therapeutic series of Hatha Yoga postures, guiding students toward healing, building strength, and restoring balance - both on and off the mat.
