Michael Johnson: Director 

Co-founder of Clearlight Yoga Shala RYS

 If you are interested in developing a self-discipline for better physical shape, inner peace, and spiritual harmony, then you will find what you are looking for in Michael's classes. He will push you to find your edge and then remind you of your innate potential for goodness and greatness.

He is dedicated to preserving yoga as an method for reaching enlightenment in this lifetime. Yoga does not belong to any organized religious system. But it has long been taught as a powerful physical, mental, and spiritual self-discipline for correcting errors in perception and for treating all beings with kindness.

Michael has had the priviledge of learning from many Yoga Masters throughout the world such as: Sri Swami Satchidananda, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, John Friend, Dharma Mittra, Sharon Gannon, David Life, and his heart teachers Geshe Michael Roach and Christie McNally. 

 

Heidi Johnson RYT

Co-founder of Clearlight Yoga Shala RYS

Together Heidi & Michael are dedicated to serving the Metro-Detroit community with both the classical and tantric (secret) teachings of yoga. They emphasize the possibility of reaching the ultimate goal of yoga in this life time, becoming a fully enlightened being who can help countless others.

She is currently studying Yoga with her Spiritual Partner and Teacher, Michael Johnson & Tibetan Heart Yoga with her dear teachers Geshe Michael Roach & Christie McNally. In addition to teaching yoga she is also a Massage Therapist. Heidi believes that "Yoga & Massage Therapy are sweet compliments to one another. It is our life's purpose to find the Enlightened Being within each of us for the purpose of going out into the world to share that Love & Wisdom with those we meet in our day to day lives. It is in this Enlightened space where we are all One and Yoga is a beautiful path to reach this place within rapidly."

Heidi also feels blessed to have had the opportunity be uplifted & inspired by learning from: all of the students and clients she meets on a daily basis, David Life and Sharon Gannon: co-founders of Jivamukti Yoga, Marianne Williamson: Minister and spiritual crusader for Peace and John Friend: founder of Anusara Yoga.
