MC Yogi grew up painting graffiti and listening to hip hop music. He discovered yoga at age 18, when he joined his father for a meditation intensive with a spiritual teacher from India. Deeply moved by this powerful experience, he devoted himself to learning everything he could about the ancient discipline. He continues to study the physical forms of yoga, as well as meditation, philosophy, and devotional chanting. MC Yogi's albums, Elephant Power and Pilgrimage combine his love of yoga and hip hop music and are best sellers on the ITunes world music charts. He tours internationally with his music and teaches at Yoga Toes Studio, in Point Reyes Station California, which he cofounded with his wife Amanda. Learn more at mcyogi.com.
