Michael Sheehan Alahouzos aka "Panda" (also known by friends and family as "Miracle") is a mindful lifestyle and movement coach. A native of the District of Columbia, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Los Angeles, California in 2006. During the early years of his practices, the primary goal was to find the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its various forms. He formed a marketing agency focusing on disease prevention, human hunger solutions, and animal rescue in July 2006. He frequently consults with charitable organizations including Together Against Cancer, Partners In Health, and Humane Society International

He was a successful businessman, when in 2008 he started experiencing severe migraines. Unable to find medical relief, and on the suggestion of a friend, he began practicing with the Buddhist meditation teacher S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers. Though initially reluctant, Michael took on the role of a 'servant' to Buddhist monks and serious meditators for three years throughout India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and the United States. Michael has trained under S.N. Goenka and his assistant teachers for over 10 years. 

Over the years, hundreds of acquaintances asked for an easy and useful practice by which to experience greater happiness, love, success and, ultimately, Enlightenment. He recommends 'letting go' of any blockages to those experiences. This process of Letting Glow has been found to be useful in all aspects of health and well-being, relationships, financial freedom, sexuality, and more. The teaching emphasizes that the path to liberation is universal, observable, transmittable, and scientific in nature. Today, Michael has practiced or taught embodiment and meditation exercises in 12 countries, of which 7 have been long-term meditation sites; including Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and 21 locations in India. He moved to Bali, Indonesia in 2017.
