Michael Anjaneya Hutkins

Tribe Leader - Ottawa (Canada)

About me

Michael found yoga on a street corner in Montreal 20 years ago after a chance meeting with an instructor. Since his first class he has been sharing yoga and its many benefits with friends and family. After deepening his own practice through living at the Sivananda ashram for the teacher training and later advanced programs he began to teach yoga regularly.

Classes are taught according to traditional Hatha yoga style, focusing on the breath, asana’s (postures) and relaxation. Join Michael as he follows the teachings of Swami Sivananda to create a comforting practice. Students will learn to let go of physical and mental stress from daily life and work towards creating a state of calm focus and mental clarity in all situations. Michael believes yoga can be made accessible to everyone and teaches classes to children, seniors, and individuals of all skill and fitness levels. He also teaches specialty classes for recreational and serious runners.

About my class and techniques:

Classes follow the Sivananda sequence and are adapted to the students present. In each class we practice controlling the breath and a sequence of asanas that always exercises the entire body, followed by a guided relaxation. After the Sun Salutations the class consists of holding postures steady and breathing and relaxing into them. All postures can be made accessible to all bodies. If you have a squishy face it might be time for a modification :) 
If you are new to the sequence or pranayama please sign in early to discuss :)
