Michael Hockstein

Mike was born outside of Philly, in the good ol’ USA. In his early years he took easily to maths and sciences and became a Software Engineer after graduating from Penn State University. After 5 years of working in this field, he wasn’t able to find the joy he was looking for in a profession. So Mike decided to quit his career and start traveling.

Since 2014 Mike has spent time around South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. He has been practicing meditation of different modalities for 6 years from Theravada Vipassana, Mahayana Analytical, Yoga Pranayama, Mindfulness, Natural Awareness, Metta, and others. Mike has completed over 10 silent meditation retreats at monasteries in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. He has also completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh, India.
