About A Light From Within

I'm Miguel (Michael) Latronica, E-RYT, a yoga teacher, author, sculptor and inventor. For more than twenty years I've taught yoga and movement at elite facilities, including Equinox and MidTown Athletic Club, and trained professional athletes, including Chicago Bears and Chicago Bulls players.

In 2015 I published “A Light From Within Yoga Workbook and Journal: A Personal Yoga Journey to Foster Greater Awareness Throughout the Changing Seasons of Your Life” (ISBN 978-0-9886316-1-8). It's a 342-page workbook built around 52 poses, 52 mudras, 52 affirmations and 102 reflective questions, organized through the four seasons of the year. At its heart is the Chart of Emotions and the PEIM™, the Personal Emotions Imprint Map, a simple way to notice what you feel and to see your own emotional patterns over time.

For years I taught the material in person as an eight-week course. Students told me the same thing again and again: the questions stayed with them long after class ended. So I've brought the whole book online as A Light From Within: Guided Journaling & Emotional Awareness.

The online course gives you every question, pose, mudra and breath, a private, encrypted journal, and your own PEIM, which builds itself as you write. You can follow the eight weeks in order, or simply begin wherever something calls to you. Yoga is optional; many people come for the journaling alone.

This is reflective work, not therapy or medical care. It's a quiet, structured way to listen to yourself.
