Spiritual Graffiti : Finding My True Path
Author(s): MC YOGI
“Behind the music and off the mat - MC YOGI’s story of grit and graffiti reminds us that yoga meets us wherever we are and introduces us to who we are.” --Jason Mraz, multi-platinum and Grammy-winning musician
Before he was one of the most well-known yoga teachers in North America and an international hip-hop artist, MC YOGI was a juvenile delinquent who was kicked out of three schools, sent to live at a group home for at-risk youth, arrested for vandalism, and caught up in a world of drugs and chaos.
At eighteen, fate brought him to his first yoga class. After discovering yoga, MC YOGI devoted himself to the practice. From traveling to India to study with gurus to living and learning with many American yoga masters, MC YOGI soaked in the knowledge that would revolutionize his entire life and put him on the path to healing, wholeness, and peace.
Through Technicolor stories of graffiti and gangs, mystics and musicians, love, loss, and finding his soul’s purpose, MC YOGI’s journey is saturated in spiritual wisdom, illuminating the potential for transformation within us all.
