Mike Cuperus

Mike has been teaching at Quantum Health Pilates & Yoga Lounge since 2015 but his practice began in 2008. We are honored to have this dedicated yoga instructor with over 15 years of experience.

Trained in the Bishnu Charan Ghosh lineage, he has developed a unique practice combining elements of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Ghosh, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and traditional Hatha.

His goal for every class is to be a complete engagement with every muscle group and quadrant of the skeleton, and all systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, etc.) creating a template for the healing and maintenance of such through habitual and conscious systemic movement.

When not guiding yogis on their yoga journeys, Mike enjoys an active life with his 23-year-old (identical!) twin sons, who have been the primary impetus for his healthy trajectory. He enjoys exploring with them, playing basketball, woodworking, and having increasingly longer and deeper talks with them as the years go by.

He built an almost closed loop, 2 acre homestead ecosystem with multiple polyculture gardens, animals, berries, grapevines, greenhouses, fruit and nut trees, and a varied component of medicinal and culinary herbs and edible flowers. When all of this allows a margin of time, (precious little) he enjoys singing, playing the piano, guitar, banjo, drums, and the mandolin.

 One of the best parts of embarking upon or continuing a yoga practice is the communities that invariably emerge when other likeminded folk also bravely seek to take responsibility for their health, growing better together, and lifting each other up. Mike hopes to see you in yoga class soon!
