Michael D. Huggins: From Corporate Success to True Freedom Through Yoga
For me, that's part of the freedom that we have: the freedom to change ourselves or to evolve ourselves so that we can continue to know and grow and be of service to our community, or to humanity for that matter.
Imagine having everything you ever wanted—a high-flying career, prestige, and success—only to see it all vanish in an instant. In this compelling episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Michael D. Huggins, the founder of the Transformation Yoga Project and author of 'Going Om: A CEO's Self-Discovery Behind Bars'. Michael shares his incredible journey from being a top executive in the medical device industry to finding himself behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
This sudden fall from grace led him to rediscover the healing power of yoga and mindfulness, which became his salvation during his time in prison. After serving his sentence, Michael chose not to return to the corporate world despite lucrative offers. Instead, he dedicated his life to helping others through yoga, founding the Transformation Yoga Project. This episode dives deep into themes of self-love, self-awareness, and the pursuit of true freedom.
Michael’s story is a testament to the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness, offering hope and inspiration for anyone struggling with trauma, addiction, or co-dependency. If you're seeking a story of redemption and transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
