Michael Perkola

Michael Perkola practices and teaches meditation for psychological insight and emotional strength. He was born and raised in the Houston area. Problems with health and controlling his attention in his childhood caused him to be
inward looking. This and the shock of living in Tokyo as a teenager drove him to look within and without for a better understanding of the world and himself in
it. From the age of 15, he has studied and practiced techniques from Zen Buddhism and the Gurdjieff Tradition. Since 2005, he has formed and led groups in Houston and Tokyo to create conditions of mutual support. He brings his wisdom and open-heartedness to YogaOne Studios to introduce basic practices of
meditation and psychological insight.
