About MC Yogi

MC Yogi is an internationally known recording artist, award-winning author and seasoned yoga teacher. He grew up painting graffiti in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a teenager he was expelled and suspended from schools and arrested for graffiti, and he ended up in a group home for at-risk youth. At seventeen he discovered yoga through his father, and the practice redirected his life. In those early years he shaved his head and lived and studied like a monk.

His path took him through many teachers and traditions. He mentored with Larry Schultz, his father's teacher, who led him to Larry's own teachers, including Dorthy Divack and the yoga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore. He spent years studying with the Vedanta society of the Ramakrishna order and traveled repeatedly to India. A 2010 visit to Arunachala opened him to Advaita Vedanta. He also spent time with the Krishna community of devotees.

The Setting
