Michel Quintana

I grew up in Lake Tahoe and have been in Florida for the last 20 years. I recently relocated to Huntsville to grow a yoga community.

Yoga has been a large part of my life for most all of it. I won’t age myself just yet, lol.

I first discovered Bikram yoga while living in San Fransisco in my early 20’s and was hooked. I practiced almost every day and even while recovering from serious surgery’s. I finally had the opportunity in 2015 to attend Bikram Teacher Training in Thailand and at the same time bought my home town Bikram studio. From then on I have been on a long learning journey. I have since done Tony Sanchez beyond 26&2 TT, Aerial TT, 200hr. Ashtanga YTT, E84 TT, and many Jedi training weeks. I have learned the most by teaching, practicing and experiencing first hand injuries that taught me safe practices, techniques and modifications. My relationship with yoga is deep, intimate and truly passionate. I am so grateful to live the yoga life and am excited for the opportunity to share it with you.

This series has helped many yoga practitioners to heal their physical injuries and advance in their yoga practice.

He is the founder of Yogakul, a traditional hatha yoga school where a group of teachers, trained by him, teach the same series of yoga postures along with providing yoga trainings, retreats, and theory courses in different parts of Mexico city.
