Michael Bridge-Dickson Michael began practicing yoga after 10 years as a classical and contemporary dancer. Having always been interested in the body as a link to the mind, emotions, and spirit, Michael immediately took to the physicality of Ashtanga Yoga. Through this practice, Michael began studying with Hart Lazer, who introduced him to a broader expression of Hatha Yoga. Michael applies what has learned through Hart's guidance to his teaching, practice, and daily life. As a teacher and student, Michael combines his keen eye and attention to detail with ongoing Ayurvedic, Tantric, and Restorative Yoga practices to enrich his and his students' consciousness of the inseparable aspects of mind, body, and spirit.
