My name is Mike Peterson. I'm a writer, editor, and yoga teacher based in San Diego, California. Professionally, I work at a technology news site as a journalist and assistant managing editor. My life's passion, however, is striving to live a more mindful and compassionate life through yoga and meditation.

In my spare time, I'm a voracious reader who can often be found devouring the written word in all of its forms — from news articles to novels. I also love live music, the outdoors, and food.

I'm hoping to combine my skills as a journalist with my knowledge of yoga and meditation to share some tips and insights to living a more mindful life.
