Michael Pietro, originally from Brooklyn, works in the international trade of food commodities such as fruits, vegetables and grains. He has been practicing Bikram Yoga three to four days a week since joining our studio one year ago this month. He greatly enjoys the mental and physical challenge that yoga provides and says that he has never felt more fit.
Michael travels a great deal with his job and finds that yoga helps him balance the stress of plane travel and the stress of life in general. He says, “I find the studio a sanctuary from the blackberries, emails, and phone calls of everyday life. Yoga is an investment in my physical and mental future – another penny in the bank at the end of every class”. We are happy to have Michael Pietro as part of our yoga community and honor him as our August Student of the Month.
