Mike Graglia began practicing yoga in 2002, and knew that he would be practicing for the rest of his life.
Mike is blessed to have met many great teachers both at Flow and in his travels in Asia and Africa. Mike spends every class trying to imitate his two greatest teachers--Kartik and Dharma. Kartik Master from Nairobi, Kenya often looked at students and told him to do things that they were sure they couldn't do (but did) but Kartik always made his demanding classes fun creating a strong community. Mike completed his teacher training with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York in mid-2006 and Mike's classes always begin with variations of Dharma's challenging Shiva Namaskara and end with Dharma's closing "Be receptive, to the grace of God."
He has taught Yoga classes and workshops in the US, Puerto Rico, Turkey, India, Thailand and Indonesia. Mike also practices Thai Massage and Meditation. For meditation he follows the Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka. For Thai Massage he follows the Sunshine network and has completed trainings in the Lahu Village in Thailand, the Zen Thai Retreat in Bali, the Sunshine House in Greece and the Thai Massage Circus in Laos. Mike is also a certified Acro Yoga teacher.
