Michael started his yoga journey at 60 years young in November of 2010. He is a competitive runner and studies/teaches different martial arts. He started yoga to gain more flexibility, and has gained so much more! He has done things he never imagined himself doing at his age and smiling along the way!He completed his 200 hr. yoga teacher training in June of 2014 at Indigo Wellness in Moline, where he learned more about yoga styles, principles and philosophy. He joined the Shine team in January 2015 and is having a great time helping yogis explore their own potential on their mats. Roberta Kelinson

I have been practicing yoga for 7 years. My inspiration for beginning yoga was to assist my body in the recovery process. Due to an auto immune disease, a year of taking steroid medications left me inside a body I was no longer used to living within. I needed to change that body, find acceptance & wisdom, strength, and endurance in order to continue living a productive life. My instructor was Daina Lewis. She encouraged me to continue on that journey of healing and finding answers from within my own self.

I have been teaching yoga for almost 4 years. I have my E-RYT 200 hr certificate and my RPYT certificate.

I wanted to become a yoga teacher teacher so I could share my lessons, my wisdom, my healing with others who might be suffering with similar ailments.My favorite pose is Triangle! I feel open, lengthened, and strong in this pose. It used to be the pose I avoided. It is now the pose I long to move my body through.

I want to master the splits! I have had other pose dreams, but through the wisdom of listening to my own body, I know some poses for me will not be achievable. I am perfect in knowing and accepting this. I am not here to compete, but to answer what my soul desires. Something people do not know about me … ha, ha! They know everything about me if they are connected with me on a social media or are in my circle of friends!!! However, one thing many do not know is that my soul sister is Daina Lewis. She became my yoga instructor, my mentor, and friend. Through this we discovered we shared the same birthday! How about that for universal connection!
