In Memoriam
Keith Mitchell
1974-2026
It is with a sad heart that we received the recent news of the passing of our student, Keith Mitchell. Keith was very much in his prime, sharing his life’s work in wellness. We do not have any information regarding his unexpected passing, but we wanted to take a moment a speak to his life as we knew him.
Keith had a notable career as an NFL player before he came to Yoga. He credited Yoga with saving his life and giving him a new purpose. After a devastating spinal injury that ended his football career, Yoga became his guiding light.
Keith was a joy to have in both our Yoga teacher training and our graduates training. He had a memorable, focused presence as a dedicated, sincere student, and a magnificent smile. He could definitely light up a room. Keith shared with us that he had an intention to help others and after graduating he founded a non-profit, educational organization based on yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
Keith became a noted teacher, speaker, and warrior for well-being. He had recently written, The Mindfulness Mastery Playbook, which was released in the fall of 2025. We had been in communication with Keith around the release of his book which Ganga wrote the foreword to.
He is already missed. Godspeed, Keith.
