TBD - The Beautiful Truth

TBD - Genetic Roulette - The Gamble of Our Lives

Are you and your family on the wrong side of a bet?

When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.

After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.

This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.

TBD - Baraka - translated in the Sufi language to "the thread that weaves life together." Baraka is a transcendent global tour that explores the sights and sounds of the human condition like nothing you've ever seen or felt before. These are the wonders of a world without words, viewed through man and nature's own prisms of symmetry, savagery, chaos and harmony. 97 minutes

Michael Sutton has over 40 years experience teaching the principles and mechanics of mind/body connection through martial arts, yoga, and meditation. He is a yoga teacher, martial artist, facilitator of discussion groups, and spiritual guide. He is also the founder and director of Rising Sun Yoga. His passion is teaching and helping others to experience insights. A certified and registered Hatha and Iyengar-based yoga teacher and a karate instructor, he lives as holistically as he can - contemplating, meditating, visualizing, going within, eating smartly, staying fit, practicing yoga and other movement forms, and having a healthy outlook. Michael believes that thoughts and their attendant feelings are more powerful than anything you put into, or let come out of, you. Those same thoughts and feelings become ultimately your beliefs and perceptions.

He has experienced many injuries including torn ligaments and tendons, ripped muscles, broken bones, fractured ribs, sprains, strains, tears, aches and pains, vertebral problems as a result of engaging in team sports, and kidney challenges. He finds the only benefit to having experienced these injuries is that he understands what others have experienced, can teach people how to move properly, help re-align and balance themselves, and assist them in regaining a healthy lifestyle. He is a proponent of functional movement and mobility and believes this can be achieved by minding the messages you receive.

Formerly a practicing herbalist, Iridologist, and health consultant, Michael has learned to address his challenges himself while continuing his education in key health related areas, conducting research through topic-related books and as a result, has had the privilege of helping others. He also presents health-related topics to organizations and groups.

A large segment of his life was spent studying martial arts (26 years) before being introduced to yoga in 1999. During some of that time, he spent 20 years in the banking and software industries.

Michael founded Rising Sun Yoga to help people change the(ir) paradigm, bring people together in community, and create a center for education. His classes can be slow and even, mindful and steady, or strong and flowing. Usually his classes are a combination of all of them giving you an opportunity to explore and stretch your boundaries. He was a Yoga Alliance (YA) e-RYT 500 hour Certified Yoga Instructor, but no longer subscribes to their system.

He offers both group classes and private sessions. For private classes, he can be reached at Michael@RisingSunYoga.com or Michael @PhiloYoga.com or 716.864-7578. He also offers therapeutic yoga for anyone with injuries or chronic conditions.

Michael has a daughter, Sydney, who is a YA 500 hour certified yoga instructor, adventure seeker, and outdoor wilderness guide.
