Michael Schabort
Michael Schabort (originally from Cape Town) has spent the past sixteen years living and teaching Ashtanga Yoga worldwide.
Since a very young age, Michael has had a deep curiosity for the three questions that almost no human can answer, “Why am I here?”, “Where am I from?”, and “Where am I going?” The mystery of this existence and a desire to truly connect and know (call it what you will) God consciousness kept him forever curious and inspired to explore philosophies, practices, and ancient wisdom; one being Yoga.
He has studied with and has been greatly influenced by some of the world’s most renowned teachers in the Krishnamacharya lineage, most notably Sharath Jois, grandson of the famous exponent and Guru of Ashtanga Yoga, Shri K. Patthabi Jois. Michael was authorised Level 2 at the KPJAYI and returned to Mysore India, annually to continue his practice with his teacher Sharath Jois.
He finds joy in contemplating the Shastras (ancient scriptures) and strives to follow his own tantric path authentically. He engages with his students with enthusiasm and inspiration, taking pleasure in sharing his experiences and yogic wisdom with genuine love and care.
