Mychal was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California and first found yoga during high school. He continued practicing in college where he was introduced to meditation while playing football and studying kinesiology.
 
His life-long love for movement inspired him to become a personal trainer in 2013, which ultimately led him to deepen his asana practice and find his gurus. He says, "the three-week 200-hour yoga teacher training intensive was my first spiritual awakening."

If he's not moving his body in the studio, at home, or out in nature connecting with the elements he's probably playing one of his adored instruments and spending time with the love of his life.
