Michael Stickley 500 Hour RYT

Mike began his yogic journey in 2015 while training for the Marine Corps Marathon (3rd at the time). To relieve some running injuries in his IT bands, feet and legs and explored an Alignment Focus class in Washington, DC, by a suggestion of colleague of his that was also a yoga teacher in law school. Little did he know that this was the beginning of his yogic path. In January 2017, he was provided an opportunity to become a yoga teacher by a non-profit called Vetoga, which specializes in providing Meditation, Yoga and Healing Arts to Active Duty Military, Reservists, Veterans and First Responders. Mike also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, Active Duty, from 1998-2003 both in the continental United States and abroad. Mike attended his 200 hour RYT in Alexandria, Virginia in May, 2017 and completed his 300 hour RYT in Post-Traumatic Growth and Ayurvedic Medicine through Vetoga in June, 2020.

He has continued his studies by studying with Sri Dharma Mittra for the 500hr, 50hr and 200hr Life of Yogi Training. His style of yoga is based on the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra, Sri Amrit Desai, and Dr. Vasant Lad which is an active but restorative form of yoga with Ayurvedic principles. He plans to provide yoga to our military members and first responders and family as he continues down his yogic path. This class will be a blend of Dharma Yoga with Yoga Nidra (Sleep based Meditation). Mike brings a smile and beaming huge heart to his practice by providing his light that he has found through yoga practice.
