The Author

Duane Utech (MA, ERYT 500, TYM III), aka “Baba Ganeesha,” has been practicing and teaching yoga since 1991.  After spending 25 years leading a successful, multi-million-dollar Tier I Automotive Advertising and Marketing Agency (Utechniques, Inc.), Mr. Utech “retired” from the high-pressure corporate life to dedicate his energies exclusively to yoga in 2008.  Duane is the author of The Art of Adjustment, A Teacher’s Manual (2014) and Yinsight, a Practice Manual (2017).  After selling his successful studio, UpDog Yoga, Inc., in 2016, Duane now splits his time between 200- and 500-hour yoga studio training, and leading amazing “tree house yoga retreats” and teaching intensives at his 100+ acre paradise on Beavertail Point, in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula.  Mr. Utech credits his son Clifford, his first teacher, the late Brij Chabbra, his last bottle of beer (in 1999) and the guy who just cut him off in traffic as his principal teachers and spiritual guides.
