- At TEDxTampaBay, Mike shared his powerful story of loss and healing and how yoga and meditation connects to something greater in all of us.
Co-owner of Inner State Yoga in St. Petersburg and YogaforMen.com, 20 year health and fitness industry veteran Mike Fecht took the healing benefits of a yoga and meditation practice to create a new life and purpose after a personal tragedy in 2009. Working with professional athletes of the NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA, as well as the Miami Dolphins team, Mike uses yoga to help men improve athletic performance and even transform their lives.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I've never found myself crying at a ted talk but this story is just so powerful. Very inspiring and touching!
Thank you Mike. I'm beginning yoga at 72. Pure inspiration.
Wow. Humbled. Thank YOU!🙏🏽
Woow im impressed
Wonderful presentation. Some years ago I began a yoga practice that changed me and my life for the better. Unfortunately, I channeled all the good into my job, sacrificed myself, and as a natural result my world began to crumble. I am back practicing yoga, meditating, being open to possibilities and everything is once again falling into place and looking up. This time around I will not waste the gifts or my life. Thank you for sharing!
I had the opportunity of taking yoga classes from Mike in Atlanta in 2012, undoubtedly the hardest year in my life. Mike, thank you for helping me along on my path.
Lenette .Golding We were obviously helping each other, then. Thanks for sharing your practice with me, Lenette. And thanks for the comments here. Be well.
Very inspiration lecture... I think- nothing happens without chance, of course I've watched this not without a reason! Good luck man, Good Luck every one!
Very powerful words from Mike Fecht thank you. I've been a fan of his Yoga for Big Men for a while and this is good to see his healing and his desire to help others.
first of all, my heart goes out to you, and for all the pain you have felt. totally drawn in by your story. vibing with your words and your message, seeing your authenticity!
i'm currently going through a super transformative time in my life, and soaked up every word of this!
i started SCREAMING when you said you were in st. pete, as I just moved here and am part of the health & fitness world. i so so hope to run into you one day!!!!!!
Just go with the flow..it 'll take you where you have to be.
Listening to your journey brought me to tears, thank you for sharing. My wife and I recently found a baby turtle (actually a tortoise) in our yard. It was upside-down fighting for it's life while a roadrunner was picking it apart. Somehow he survived and he is now part of our family. We love him dearly. The symbolic nature of the turtle coming into our lifes truly resonates as well. Life's an amazing journey - be well my friend! Todd/Karen (Palm Springs CA)
Thanks for sharing that with me. I've not been on here in a while, and this made my day. Be well!
Blessings on you and your life. Thankyou for sharing your journey so gently and sincerely.
I Give Thanks to you for being your authentic self in this amazing Talk.
Very inspiring talk...for yoga, authenticity...for life in general! Thank you for sharing!
MIKE, I WAS JUST DRAWN TO THIS TALK. I THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THAT. I am teaching mindfulness and wellbeing using Yoga and Dance and it’s amazing what impact The Yolab is having. I’m inspired as I teach the need to “pay attention to Whispers” in my sessions of yoga. Bless you for the generosity of sharing. Radhakrishnan
thanks for sharing your story Mike!
That was amazing. Thank you for sharing and I appreciate your insight.
Mike, you are such an inspiration!

Reagan Cooper thank you, sir.

Thank you
😭😭😭😭😭 this is so sweet. Oh my goodness !
Wow. This was powerful. Thank you!
You are such an inspiring human. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. As I write this i'm crying but I'm ready to take your advice. And finally take whats life throwing at me. I'm gonna find a way through it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you. I hope things have eased up in your world and that you're finding your way through. ✌
Well... it wasn't yoga or turtle. Actually there is very clear thing on the surface of this, now happy, life - it was God. He knew, He was watching, so He's rewarded this man. Little signs, little things in our distress and all our pains - it's Him. So it's our business - to trust Him or not. He does. "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."
What a great life-affirming story....must be shared!!!
Brenda Drew Thank you!
Such an amazing story and incredible journey! Thanks for the message and for sharing.
WOAH- I AM BLOWN AWAY!! THANK YOU!! I always need reminding of how sacred life is and how fortunate I am, no matter what✊
Saved this to fave lectures.
Also, please forgive my sense of humour but as soon as I saw that license plate I was relieved it said ANULIFE and not ANUSTART🤣🤣I’m sorry-any Arrested Development fans out there?
Many blessings your way! 💓
Annette James Thank you. You too!
Happy for you man..
Thank you. My son turned 6 today, and we're celebrating! Life...man...
Thanx
Wow, great speach. And he must be such a wonderful father and rolemodel. People coming to him in grief are very lucky to find him. If only we all would take a step back, start meditating and let go of our egos, .... What a paradise this world would be.
Thank you. I appreciate this. ❤
This was so authentic and beautiful. So much revealed. Thank you!
🙏🙏🙏
Woooooooow. I have the book Animal Speak by Ted Andrews. I shouldn’t even have it. I found it at a thrift store years ago and bought it.
🌎💙💫🙏
It was a nice talk, I just don't understand where the authenticity comes in.

just guy talking about himself lol

Appreciate many things about the message and topic. I found it distracting that he's wearing a hat and can't see his eyes. I think a lot of a presentation and connection to a speaker is done through being able to see their eyes as their talking. Maybe I'm the only one
I noticed it too and I think he is bald, he is a working man, so avoid looking bald.
No, I'm not bald. I just felt more comfortable in my hat as I tend to sweat under the lights. Hope the talk resonated more than the distraction.
Yes it did greatly Mike, sorry for imagining too much.
Hah... the signs. I would love for those signs to be more available all the time, not just when you have a near-death experience.
They are there. We just have to remain open and not close ourselves off as we heal. It's a daily effort...and practice. 🙏🏽
