Marni on the Move

30 years ago today a NYC Greenwich Village native and Punk Rocker left his retail day job selling records at the iconic Bleecker Bobs to study yoga and pursue his teacher training degree in India. Upon his return to New York, he opened a studio that changed the NYC and Global Yoga landscape forever. His name is Eddie Stern. Today Eddie is a world renowned yoga teacher, highly respected thought leader, entrepreneur, author, and recently, a  mobile app innovator. He is the co-founder of Ashtanga Yoga New York, The Brooklyn Yoga Club, and The Broome Street Temple with his wife and Yoga teacher, Jocelyn Stern. He is also Co-Founder of Namarupa Magazine with Robert Moses and teamed up with Deepak Chopra and Moby  to create his new app, The Breathing App. Eddie began teaching yoga in 1989 at a time where there were very few yoga studios in NYC and it was not a very popular mainstream practice. Yoga catered to a culture of people that were interested in pursuing the spiritual aspects of their lives.  Not very asana or physically focused. It was no frills, glitz, or glamour. People didn’t “drop in” to take a class. It was a very different world compared to today where there are tons of studios. Eddie studied with yoga legend and Ashtanga Yoga Founder, Guru Sri K. Pattahbi Jois from 1991-2009 and brought his teachings to NYC which quickly gained notoriety amongst popular celebrities, musicians, and yogi's.  Eddie has expanded from his original one room studio to a beautiful townhouse in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn that is the home to Brooklyn Yoga Club and Ganesha Temple, a B+B for guests to immerse themselves and experience the culture, and a café with vegan, healthy snacks, teas, elixirs and coffee. Eddie and I sync up about Yoga, Ashtanga, Ganesh, and his mission to raise awareness and funds to help save the elephants through the Knot On My Planet campaign which supports the work of The Elephant Crisis Fund. If you want to make a donation or learn more Eddie has a wonderful blog post with additional information on the AYNY website:  http://ayny.org/category/yoga/. There are only 415,000 elephants left in the world, and they are being slaughtered at a rate of 30,000 per year. If this is allowed to continue, we could be the last generation to ever see an elephant in the wild.  Throughout 2018, Eddie will be going around the world performing Ganesh Pujas to spread the awareness of the plight of the mighty and majestic elephants, whose existence on this planet is being imperiled through poaching. While pujas are always free, they are accepting donations at the end of these special pujas, and all of the money collected will be donated to Knot On MY Planet, which supports elephant protection in Africa and the end of the ivory trade worldwide. These pujas are being performed, this year, in Moscow, Stockholm, Chengdu, London, Amsterdam, Milan, India, Buenos Aires, and Tel Aviv.

Marni syncs up with Scott about the his entrepreneurial path through spiritual discovery and the healing powers of tonic herbs and mushrooms and how they promote healthy sleep cycles, balance hormones and cultivate a healthy immune system fortifying and building subtle energies in the body. Marni and Scott talk about his athletic childhood (skiing, running and competing on the U.S Triathlon team at 19) growing up in Minnesota; working in real estate in LA; followed by 5 years living off the grid and “JOB” free. During this 5 years, Scott spent his time reconnecting with himself and nature through dispersion camping, mountain biking and hiking in Oregon, living in a Yoga Ashram on Mount Madonna in Santa Cruz, and then the Ojai Foundation. It was here that he fell in love with tonic herbs, making them part of his daily life, and this organically evolved into his current company, Sun Potion Transformational Foods. Scott and Sun Potion have been featured everywhere from Allure, Elle, Glamour, Goop, Forbes and Vogue. People, places and things we mention on this episode: Erewhon Market http://www.erewhonmarket.com/ Rescue Spa http://www.rescuespa.net/ Pubmed.org https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ Mount Madonna https://www.mountmadonna.org/ Ojai Foundation Adaptogens Ashwaganda Resihi Cordyceps Sun Potion Transformational Foods source the planet for potent, healing substances with the ability to transform consciousness and health.  They work with suppliers who can meet our stringent quality standards and commitment to purity.  They only source Organic and/or Wildcrafted products and we never use ingredients that have been chemically treated in any way. Sun Potion products are created and shared with integrity. Owner and Founder Scott Linde developed the company through his own transformational experience with these foods. With a background in Rolfing (Structural Integration), he began to notice profound shifts in his own body and consciousness with the addition of tonic herbs and superfoods to his diet. These shifts transcended the optimum state of well-being he had already sustained in his field of work!   The line evolved from Scott's personal motivation to source the highest quality tonic herbs, algae, greens, and mushrooms from around the globe: simply because this was what he wanted to put in his body! With the natural tendency to share with others, Scott began to offer the foods to friends and clients, and the company formed in response to the positive shifts in the community's health and organically growing demand for these Transformational Foods.
