The term ‘rat-race’ was coined long before we had smartphones and social media. It has even more meaning today when we’re at risk of becoming rats in a worldwide laboratory, monitored and manipulated by technology giants and artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is even more important to take control of our own minds father than let other do it for you. Michael Hutchinson shows the way through yoga, with a combination of bodywork, breathwork and attention, a concept often referred to as mindfulness.
Michael trained under a late renowned teacher, TKV Desikachar in the 1980s when yoga was just beginning to be recognised in the West. He abandoned a successful career in physics to concentrate on teaching and building awareness of the benefits of yoga. His book, Breath for Health, is based on over thirty years of training and practice. Michael has taught breathing several times at the annual World Yoga Festival and is well-respected for his sensitive approach to the needs of people who are hesitant about working with their breath. He is also Chair of British Council for Yoga Therapy.
