Misha: Yoga Instructor from Arctic

MOSCOW: Misha, 24, was sitting near a metro station eating a cheese sandwich, his foot scooter at this side.

Misha said he grew up in the mining town of Norilsk in the Arctic, where he first studied martial arts. He said he was initially inspired by Bruce Lee, whose movies Misha watched.

However, Misha said martial arts were wearing his body down and he switched to yoga. He said he taught about 50 people, adding that yoga isn’t very popular in Norilsk.

Misha sold his apartment in Norilsk last year and moved temporarily to Moscow to take a one-year yoga course. He hopes to move next to India to continue his studies.
