Michael Gannon, The Yoga Dealer

Yoga found Michael after 10 years of chaotic deal making in the American advertising and music business.  Through his yoga practice he was awakened to incredible balancing benefits that would gradually change his life path.  After studying in India with the late Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, learning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga system, he was authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach.  Since then, he spends the year traveling and teaching workshops, trainings and retreats in The Americas, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Michael’s unique teaching style of the original vinyasa system makes Yoga’s transformational powers — physical, mental and spiritual — available to all.  He has imparted this unique teaching style by training over 200 teachers worldwide in his GAVY Teacher Apprenticeships.

Michael founded the Yoga Dealer brand in 2005.  He has also created the instructional breathing audio program, “Awaken Your Life Force and Quiet Your Mind”,  two DVDs “Opening Your Heart — Elements of Backbending”, “From Earth to Heaven” and three Yoga practice posters used by practitioners around the world.

Michael’s latest release is “Ashtanga Yoga with Michael Gannon”, the first Ashtanga app for the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch.

When The Yoga Dealer is not traveling, he spends time at the feet of his two most powerful Gurus, on the beach in Mexico — his 7-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.
