Here’s another story about one of the yoga masters that I’ve had the good fortune to meet and learn from. I hope this helps my friends and family here to connect with these wonderful yogis and the impact they’ve had on the world over the years. In the video here, I talk about one of the “eastern masters,” Shri Yogendraji, and how I came to learn from him. Forever thankful.

I hope this helps my friends and family here to connect with these wonderful yogis and the impact they’ve had on the world over the years.
