Breathing Optimization with Michael Hutchinson
Yoga Therapy Hour with Amy Wheeler
06/30/23 • 55 min
Michael Hutchinson has been studying the breath in the KYM tradition for over 4 decades both experientially and scientifically. He has recently written a new book called Breath for Health, using the main tenants of the teachings from TKV Desikachar, to express how to breathe simply and effectively. Amy interviews Michael and discovers that he offers a rare glimpse into how we can use breath for as little as 10-minutes per day and it will change our lives. Michael knows this because he has felt the impact of simple breath techniques within himself for decades, taught others and observed how different breathing techniques impact the human system, and read the research on respiratory physiology. In the end, he shows us how the simple breathing techniques taught be Desikachar are shown to be effective for health, healing and beyond.
· Michael is a thoughtful and introspective human being that thinks, feels and speaks with subtle awareness and clarity
· Michael defines what optimal breathing looks like and feels like
· Michael shows how he uses techniques such as bhavana (thinking- feeling and imagining) to help people breath more comfortably and efficiently
· He talks about how we can use breath to create more space in our mind and heart
· He explains how even a short breathing practice every day can change the trajectory of one’s life
· He discusses how the unconscious observation of breathing patterns within families can be transferred from parent to child
· Yoga Sutra 2.34 and the importance of ahimsa or non-violence

Life Transitions and Having Clarity About Decisions, Amy Wheeler Solo Episode
Yoga Therapy Hour with Amy Wheeler
06/02/23 • 42 min
Often times when we are in the middle of a stage of life that is causing us to transition to a new way of being, we feel confused, and we are not sure what to do next. We find ourselves searching for the next thing that will make us happier. Our focus is often outward on the search. In this episode Amy suggests that we go inward and practice self-reflection, or svadhyaya. We can look at those areas of our lives that are increasing our joy and those that are decreasing it. We can evaluate our values and beliefs and see if they are in alignment with our actions. And we can give ourselves time and space to explore without pressuring ourselves. Remember, the joy is in the journey of life, not just the final destination.
· Amy starts the show with talking about her year anniversary, and how she has reflected on her life this past year.
· She discusses how transitions can be painful, but what if we were able to change our perspective and use this time to be present and create the life we always wanted.
· She says we have to get honest with ourselves and look at the choices we have made and continue to make.
· Amy talks about how to create more inner joy, and possibly outer joy.
· Amy talks about dharma or life purpose and how to get more clarity about life what gives us meaning and purpose.
· Then she discusses how to “feel” your way through life and listen to your body, not all the talking that is happening in your brain.
· Finally, trust yourself and give yourself the time it takes to get clarity and align with your values for a joy-filled life.
