Speaker at IGNITE: A conference for creative community builders on Sunday, May 20, 2018 at Lesley University Hall in Porter Square!

Mike Massey is the stone that the builder refused. Growing up in Roxbury, Massachusetts, as a multi-racial individual, Mike was forced to overcome his fair share of obstacles. Witnessing firsthand what crime, drugs, low income, poor performing schools, domestic violence and losing friends to either the prison system or street violence, can lead to; Mike quickly learned that the ability to BREATHE and stay calm would save his life. Mike was always known for quick wits and a broad imagination, so he constantly dreamed of better days, not just for his loved ones and himself, but for his community as well.

During the summer of 2014 Mike enrolled in a yoga teacher-training program at South Boston Yoga. He trained intensely under David Vendetti and Todd Skoglund (the owners of South Boston Yoga). During training he was able to master the areas of: Asana instruction and assistance, Anatomy, Pranayama, Meditation, Self-study, Health and Nutrition, Sutra reading, as well as Yoga history & philosophy. As soon as the ink was dry on his certification Mike took to the streets; literally teaching any and everywhere. Teaching yoga to anyone who would listen. Mike’s name is now synonymous with the word “YOGA” in Boston and surrounding areas.

Mike teaches in sports clubs, health centers, medical facilities, museums, schools, detention facilities and public parks. Mike’s passion is to open his own facility and work directly with athletes. However his favorite settings to teach in are among the elderly and the children. In fact Mike recently took on a full time position teaching yoga at The Brooke Charter School in the same neighborhood that he was raised in. Teaching yoga to scholars from kindergarten to 8th grade. Mike also enjoys having the availability and resources to teach a few classes free of charge to folks in his community that lack resources to otherwise enjoy yoga. Mike is extremely proud to have launched his first ever 200 hour YTT during the summer of 2017. He looks forward to training more people to teach yoga as well.
