Yogi Cameron – A Model Guru

Yogi Cameron:  Yoga in the west is now treated as an exercise routine rather than the daily spiritual practice that was set out by the ancient sages of India. Yoga encompasses many different practices and the physical aspect of it is tiny compared with the mental and spiritual ones. As the western culture is so materialistic, people find doing the physical part of the yogic path the easiest (easiest meaning simplest to understand and follow) and that is why it is becoming so popular. Patanjali set out the yogic path for people who want to commit to it as a whole lifestyle for the sake of eliminating suffering rather than just a little of it.

JVM:  Your new book The One Plan outlines a 52-week program for lasting life transformation.  Most people these days seem resolved to find quick fixes, how can your One Plan program help them?  

Yogi Cameron:  A quick fix is like thinking about being healthy and dabbling in a few different fads but never getting rooted in any one path. It is cheating yourself out of a fulfilling experience while only putting some effort and getting a little result. I didn’t write the yoga sutras but I did bring a concise weekly program based on these ancient teachings for the person who takes their health and spiritual existence very seriously.  I am a yogi and don’t deal with in-the-moment fads or ‘good ideas.’ These teachings have been there for over 5000 years and compiled by a sage who is godly and knows the truth. People who are looking for this type of guidance will do well to follow a path that lasts more than just 21 days, for making a true commitment is ultimately what will help them to get a lifetime of joy rather than just a taste of it.
