Born with severe clubbed feet, Max spent much of the first four years of his life with his feet confined in plaster casts and braces. After several corrective surgeries, he was able to walk fairly well, and by high school he had developed into a strong, competitive athlete. But it was a powerful epiphany that spun him onto an entirely different path than his classmates. With a new and burning imperative to understand life’s meaning, Max immersed himself in spiritual learning and by the age of nineteen had studied Taoism, esoteric Christianity, Sufism, and was practicing meditation and Chi Gung diligently.
Today, Max Strom is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students, teaching with the aim of personal transformation and has become one of the most revered and respected Yoga Teachers in the US and abroad. He founded Sacred Movement, Center for Yoga and Healing in Los Angeles, and now travels extensively teaching and lecturing on yoga and spirituality. Renowned for his teacher trainings, he is currently leading teacher trainings internationally. You can see more of his work on his DVDs, Max Strom Yoga – Strength, Grace, and Healing, and Learn to Breathe, to heal yourself and your relationships. www.maxstrom.com
