Eddie Stern is a worldly renowned yoga teacher who grew up in New York City. He studied Ashtanga Yoga, chanting, philosophy and ritual under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, from Mysore, from 1991 - 2009.

He is the founder of the Broome Street Ganesha Temple in NYC and runs the Urban Yogis project that brings yoga and meditation to young adults and youth in disadvantaged and at-risk-to-violence communities in NYC, with his collaborator, Deepak Chopra.

Last year Eddie Stern published the beautiful gem of a Book called "One simple thing" - A new look at the Science of Yoga and how it can transform your life which received a great deal of recognition since then.

In our conversation we talked about:

• how Eddie Stern would explain Yoga to a total newbie
• his first contact with spirituality (spoiler alert: it was a book)
• if Yoga could change the world if we all get introduced to it at an early age?
• The Yamas and the Niyamas or setting boundaries to gain freedom
• The 5 Kleshas
• spiritual bypassing vs confronting with ones own Traumas
• the Polyvagal Theory
• the difference between Pranayama and Breathwork
• the beauty of Kirtan and Chanting
• and lots of more...
