Plasha Yoga

“If you want authentic yoga that focuses on the mind-body-breath connection and provides personal growth lessons taught by a highly experienced instructor who lives his life based on his own teachings, this is where you need to be. Michael sees and understands the needs of his clients and tailors his instruction to suit. He suggests pose modifications based on ability level and health restrictions, providing options for those seeking a more challenging experience, but stressing safety in all poses. He does this in a nurturing manner with a dose of humor and without hubris or mandating.”

“I am a woman in my late 50’s who is not athletic, and I started attending Plasha Yoga about 3 years ago. I am always encouraged to listen to my body and go out of the posture as soon as it does not feel right for me where I am now. The biggest benefit I have gotten from my classes at Plasha is that I have been inspired to follow a path to serious meditation, and I took the 25 hour class for Meditation Teacher training. I have no interest in teaching, but the study enhanced my meditation practice in every way. This is yoga for your mind and body. Round bodies, old bodies, not just competitive gym yoga. I feel the most peaceful in my entire week when I leave class Monday evening, and I am now pretty good at knowing how to welcome that peace into my daily life.”

“I have been taking classes at Plasha Yoga for almost twenty years. Michael’s warmth, kindness, and depth of knowledge are beyond compare. Not only have I gained physical strength and flexibility through his classes, but I have been challenged to examine my thoughts and actions through the practice, which is far more than poses alone. If you want a trendy, westernized hot yoga experience, this isn’t the place. If you want to explore a holistic approach to mind, body, and spiritual health, deeply rooted in tradition, this is the best place for it in Erie!”
