Sacred Movement: White Swan Yoga Masters, Vol. 1
Max Strom teaches yoga as a system of personal transformation, and is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his pupils. Over 400 students a week come to learn his unique Vinyasa-style yoga, which integrates methods from several yoga systems as well as chi gung. His rigorous and flowing classes purify and realign the body, while cultivating a feeling of deep inner peace. His philosophical insights are informed by years of studying sacred texts and the teachings found within us all.With an imperative to understand life’s meaning, Max Strom had, by the young age of 19, studied Taoism, esoteric Christianity and Sufism, and was practicing meditation and Chi Gung diligently. Over the next 12 years, his passion for music and writing gradually eclipsed his spiritual quest and he became immersed in two careers, first in music as a singer-songwriter, and then in film as a working screenwriter. Max’s spiritual quest was re-ignited when he was introduced to Hatha Yoga. The practice affected him so deeply that it ultimately became a "system of embodiment" for all of his studies. A Yoga devotee since 1991, Max has experienced a profound life-change through his practice.Max Strom is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and was on the faculty of the 2003 Yoga Journal conference in Los Angeles. He has published several articles on yoga and personal transformation.
