My name is Michael Wohl.  I have practiced meditation for the past 40 years and was personally trained by the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  I studied with Maharishi from 1974-76, and was made an initiator of meditation by him in Europe at the conclusion of my training.  I also spent a year with a Japanese Zen master, Roshi Nippo Syaku, from 1970-71, and have completed advanced studies and practice in Eastern Philosophy and Yogic Techniques.  I have a BA in Mass Communication and an MS in Education, and was a Special Education teacher for over 30 years.  I am married, have two grown children, and live in Williamsville, NY.  I teach meditation in the Buffalo and Western New York region.
