More about the Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, a part of the larger Mahabharata, is a profound spiritual text that explores the eternal battle between good and evil, symbolized by the conflict at Kurukshetra. As the Pandava warrior Arjuna faces a moral crisis, he turns to Lord Krishna, his charioteer and divine guide, for wisdom. Through their dialogue, Krishna teaches timeless lessons on the nature of the self, duty, and the importance of surrendering to higher spiritual wisdom.
This sacred text offers a powerful philosophical framework for overcoming internal conflict, transcending dualities, and discovering one's true purpose. The Gita challenges readers to confront the illusions of the material world, encouraging deep spiritual growth and insight. With its teachings on action, mindfulness, and self-realization, the Bhagavad Gita remains a foundational work for anyone seeking wisdom, peace, and a deeper understanding of the universe.
With over twenty years of experience as a full-time yoga instructor, Michael has been a teacher trainer since 2003 and an advanced teacher trainer since 2007. After travelling to India to study in Mysore and sitting for three 10-day Vipassanā retreats, Michael studied Himalayan philosophy and took the Jīvamukti Yoga Teacher Training in 2007, where he met Stephanie Howarth. After marrying her, they moved to Asheville, NC in 2010.
Since then he has been a teacher trainer at the Asheville Yoga Center offering courses on the Yogasūtra, Haṭhyogapradīpikā, Bhagavadgītā, Sanskrit, Mantra, Bhakti Vinyāsa and the intersection of Meditation and Neuroscience.
During the pandemic he began studying with Dr. Shyam Ranganathan and learned how to better navigate issues of trauma, recovery, cultural appropriation, decolonizing and teaching Yoga as a stand alone philosophy.
