Michael Gannon - Personal Biography



Yoga found Michael Gannon after ten years of chaotic deal-making in the American advertising and music business. Through his yoga practice, he was awakened to incredible balancing benefits that would gradually change his life path. After studying in India with Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, learning the first, second and third series of the traditional Ashtanga yoga system, he was authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach. Since then, Michael has had no home—he has only a journey. He spends the year traveling and teaching workshops, trainings and retreats in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Michael's rare understanding and unique teaching style of the original vinyasa system supports the idea that yoga's transformational powers—physical, mental and spiritual—are available to all, slowly, slowly, through a daily Ashtanga yoga practice. He has imparted this unique teaching style by training over 100 teachers worldwide in his yoga teacher apprenticeships.

Michael also produced the instructional breathing program CD, Awaken Your Life Force and Quiet Your Mind, the yoga demonstration DVD, From Earth to Heaven and three practice posters utilized by yoga practitioners around the world. Michael's first book is due out in 2009.
