Hailed by many as a guru of the breath, Max Strom has created his own culture around the practice of yoga.

Raised on the California coast, this one time surfer and football player pivoted toward a life dedicated to yoga for one simple reason: it made him internally happy. Now on a mission to deliver that same happiness to the rest of humanity, Max travels far and wide to deliver lectures and teach students about the life-changing potential of their own conscious breathing.

As one of the first teachers of what is currently known as vinyasa yoga, Max shares how his career has been guided by scholarly pursuits of psychology, trauma, crisis, communication and how it all relates to the breath.
