Howard D. Midkiff Jr., affectionately known as D, is a dedicated yogi, entrepreneur, and community leader whose journey is deeply rooted in service, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. His path is a testament to how yoga extends beyond the mat—into daily life, relationships, and the way we nourish ourselves and others.
Yoga has been a profound force in D’s life, shaping his outlook and approach to both business and personal growth. He brings the principles of Karma Yoga (selfless service), Bhakti Yoga (devotion), and Jnana Yoga (self-inquiry) into his everyday interactions, embodying the yogic path in ways that are practical, relatable, and deeply transformative. His love for nature, particularly his time spent fishing, mirrors the yogic teachings on patience, surrender, and mindfulness—reminding us that every moment offers an opportunity for presence and reflection.
Beyond his work as a restaurateur, D is also a dedicated coach in youth football and baseball, guiding young athletes with the same wisdom and compassion that he brings to his yoga practice. Through coaching, he teaches discipline, teamwork, and resilience—values that closely align with the yogic path. His approach to mentoring young players is not just about the game but about building character, fostering inner strength, and encouraging a mindful, heart-centered approach to life.
D’s commitment to community extends beyond his restaurant and coaching. Whether hosting spiritual gatherings, supporting local ministries, or offering a space for meaningful dialogue, he believes in the power of selfless service and heart-led leadership. His personal journey has been profoundly influenced by Higher Consciousness Living (HCL), which has helped him integrate the depth of yogic wisdom into his life.
Through his work, service, and devotion to personal transformation, Howard “D” Midkiff Jr. walks the path of yoga in a way that is accessible, grounded, and inspiring. His journey is one of nourishing both body and soul—one heartfelt interaction at a time.
