About Mike

Michael Vecchi is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500) with Yoga Alliance, which recognizes the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved and active Registered Yoga School (RYS).

He completed his initial training at Frog Pond Yoga Centre in Princeton, MA, focusing on classical and traditional Raja Yoga. The practices of Raja Yoga emphasize the integration of breath, body, and mind to promote spiritual growth. Michael originally began his yoga practice for stress reduction and physical therapy, but it quickly developed into a deep passion for the practice and its teachings. His passion has continued to evolve over the years, and he now integrates the Yoga practice into his everyday life and activities.

Michael is also a graduate of the Hits The Spot Yoga Advanced Teacher Training 500-hour Certification Program, which is registered with Yoga Alliance. He studied at Solar Hill Yoga in Brattleboro, Vermont, under the guidance of Scott Willis, along with a wonderful group of local yogis. Scott draws from his years of study and teaching, incorporating influences from Anusara, Kripalu, Iyengar Style, and Insight Meditation into his curriculum.

In addition to his formal training, Michael has also owned and operated a yoga studio, “Unity Yoga” in Gardner, Massachusetts, where he taught as a community service and practiced yoga both on the mat and off. He believes that “If you can breathe, you can do yoga.” Michael emphasizes that there is no competition in yoga, and each person works to the best of their ability.
