Urban yogis transforming lives

We mentioned a week back that Eddie Stern has another good Ashtanga cause to support, and now there’s a teaser video about this work, and others, he’s involved with in connection with Deepak Chopra and family. (You might recall they did a live video at the Chopra Youtube site back in July).

Here’s what Eddie has to say about it:

This past summer I helped put together several, short videos for the Chopra Well, the Chopra family’s youtube station. Together we went into the programs that Ashtanga Yoga Outreach teaches (a hypertension group in Brooklyn, Relationship Abuse Prevention Program, and others); Erica Ford’s Peace Is A Lifestyle program in South East Queens; and organizations that Jocelyne and I have been supporting for years, like the Lineage Project and their program in the Juvenile Detention Center in the South Bronx. The teaser video just went up, and I hope you find it as inspiring to watch as we did making the actual videos – which will begin to ‘air’ next week on The Chopra Well.

And the video (with a few moments of Eddie practicing):
