Michael Gannon Yoga Dealer

Through his yoga practice he was awakened to incredible balancing benefits that would gradually change his life path. After studying in India with the lateSri. K. Pattabhi Jois, learning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga system, he was authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach. Since then, he spends the year traveling and teaching workshops, trainings and retreats in The Americas, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia. Michael’s unique teaching style of the original vinyasa system makes Yoga’s transformational powers — physical, mental and spiritual — available to all. He has imparted this unique teaching style by training over 250 teachers worldwide in his GAVY Teacher Apprenticeships. Michael founded the Yoga Dealer brand in 2005. He has also created the instructional breathing audio program, “Awaken Your Life Force and Quiet Your Mind”, three DVDs “Opening Your Heart — Elements of Backbending”, “From Earth to Heaven”, “Opening Your Lotus — Elements of Sitting” and three Yoga practice posters used by practitioners around the world. In 2011, Michael released “Ashtanga Yoga with Michael Gannon”, the first Ashtanga app for the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch and Android. When The Yoga Dealer is not traveling, he spends time at the feet of his three most powerful Gurus, on the beach in Mexico — his 10-year-old daughter, 4-year-old and 1-year-old sons. Oh yeah, and in late 2013, Gannon shocked the yoga world by designing and building one of the most beautiful new yoga schools on the planet, Yogaloft Playa del Carmen (yogaloftplaya.com ).
