Beyond his celebrity status in the yoga world his work as a philanthropist and his desire to be giving back make him an inspiration well beyond the yoga mat.

Eddie Stern wasn’t always headed for greatness though. His troubled youth was full of rebellion well before the age of 18. Luckily, he had the self-awareness to realize that this wasn’t the way of expressing dissatisfaction with life. Around the time I was 18 I learned about yoga from a friend,” Eddie Stern recalled in an episode of NEWSWIRE.FM’S program ONE WORLD with Deepak Chopra. Eddie realized that he was able to achieve the clarity and consciousness with yoga and meditation and suddenly the whole trajectory of his life changed.

From such humble beginnings, Eddie Stern has become a teacher of yoga and continues to spread this knowledge to others. Eddie Stern works now to improve the quality of live for people living in New York City as well as internationally. His involvement in Urban Yogis has helped children, to avoid some of the choices he himself made in his youth and instead choose a healthier, safer, and less violent existence. Many of the young people that Eddie Stern has worked with are now yoga teachers themselves and they continue to spread this valuable gift to communities that may not have otherwise had access to yoga as an outlet. “What we wanted to do was not only give them the tools for their own transformation…now they are going to take these tools that helped transform them and taking them to an area of the city where it will be very helpful.”
