We are sadly saying goodbye to our long time office Yogi Michael this week!
Michael has been an integral part of the SBYC community for two years and he will be greatly missed!
Below Michael shares what is next for him:
‘What’s next for me? Hm, it’s still a work in progress. After two wonderful years being immersed in the Santa Barbara Yoga Center community and working to support its students, visitors, and programs––– my life took a dramatic turn through the death of my father and a subsequent renewal of family relationships that I find myself changing my priorities and wanting to spend more time with my family. To that end, new work beyond the scope of the center is needed and/or a possible relocation. Every time I think I have it figured out I realize I don’t. I recently decided to stay in Santa Barbara but find a new job that could afford me the ability to travel to Florida more often. I found something and accepted it, but now I’m having misgivings. And that’s life isn’t it. At least for me it has always been a journey from the unknown to the known and back to the unknown again. What’s next for me? I’ll let you know for sure when I get there. Love you all!’
If you see Michael this week send him a fond farewell ❤️
