Michael Hewett

A yogi of over 28 years and musician for 40 years, Michael’s training in the full spectrum of yoga has deep roots in vinyasa, ashtanga, ISHTA, shamatha meditation (mind training) and eastern philosophy. He's tracked over 30,000 teaching hours. Michael is an Honors graduate of Berklee College of Music (‘95), professional guitarist and producer spanning multiple genres. Michael has successfully completed four, 30 day solitary meditation retreats, leads retreats around the world and guides people on their individual paths of healing, growth and evolution. His passion as a teacher is to inspire and empower people to discover and engage their purpose through the combination of yogic arts and music. By engaging the spectrum of intelligences each of us embodies (physical, emotional, energetic and cognitive), healing, personal growth and breakthroughs are made. In 2009 at the request of his students, Michael founded Vessel Academy to share the full spectrum of teachings and practices of yoga, meditation and eastern philosophy. Within a few years the graduates requested Michael to create 200 & 300 hour teacher trainings so they may also guide others. In 2016 he moved to Paris to bring the academy to European communities, lead retreats and tour on the yoga festival circuit throughout Southern Asia. In 2018 after returning to NYC, he accepted a 9-month contract to teach the yogic arts to psychotherapists and social workers. He is the co-founder of Eye of the Storm Wellness.
