Michael Ponte
Michael’s teaching is derived from a personal practice of self exploration.
Known for his creative sequences set to music, his verbal acuity, and his ability to disarm the pretense of any yoga room, Michael makes the learning environment warm, fun, loving, and unexpected. You will sweat, you will be challenged (you will probably also laugh a few times) and hopefully you will be re”mind”ed of the purest nature of your being - simply, Love. Michael studied yoga with his most influential teachers in Los Angeles and in Bali where Whitney Allen, Alicia Chueng, Joan Hyman, Colleen Garrity, Carmen Fitzgibbon, and David Lynch solidified his passion for practicing and teaching yoga. He completed his 300 Hour training at Down Under and is a lead trainer in Down Under’s 200 Hour Teacher Trainings.
