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.
