Max Strom

Author and Teacher of personal transformation and yoga

Home: Ashland, OR

Bio: Max Strom is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students and teaches personal transformation and yoga worldwide. He has taught tens of thousands of students, and trained several hundred teachers, and his latest book is A Life Worth Breathing, (Skyhorse, 2010). You can see more of his work on his DVDs, Learn to Breathe, to heal yourself and your relationships, and, Max Strom Yoga – Strength, Grace, Healing.

My philosophy: When we are in pain, we become self-centered and myopic. When we heal, we become more empathetic, self-less, and sympathetic to the pain and welfare of others. It is our gift to others to heal ourselves.

If I weren't doing what I do now I'd be an unfulfilled person.

Favorite piece of advice: When we lose our gratitude we lose everything.
