MC Yogi at TEDxMission The City2.0

Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons has been quoted as saying, "The world needs more artists like MC Yogi." MC Yogi pioneered a new sound when he blended together his love of yoga culture with hip hop, reggae, and electronic music. Both his albums, Elephant Power and Pilgrimage, are top sellers on the I Tunes world music charts, and their popularity have made him a household name in the global yoga community. Beyond the yoga world, MC Yogi helped make history when he released his video Vote for Hope in support of Barack Obama. Through an grassroots network, the video reached over a million people leading up to election day. Following the success of Vote for Hope, he was commissioned by Starbucks to co-create an anthem and video for their service initiative "Are You In?" The video also received over a million views on UA-cam and was shown during the first commercial break of Obama's inauguration and was aired during the Super Bowl. In 2011, he became an ambassador for Michelle Obama's Lets Move initiative and later was invited to teach yoga on the White House lawn. MC Yogi has also been a key supporter of Yoga Aid, helping to raise over 2 million dollars for various charities. MC Yogi performs and teaches yoga all over the world lighting up stages at music festivals, nightclubs, yoga conferences and even art museums. When he is not on tour, he happily resides in Northern California with his wife and creative partner, Amanda, and his rescued pitbull, Mahatma.

*Shifting our perception*
*Changes the reflection*
*And making that little correction*
*Helps us to see the underlining connection*

Hello, From My Heart MC Yogi,
What does our world need now? We've been singing about it for as long as any of us can remember...Love. Well, we've demonstrated just that with dramatically decreased violence, increased health and happiness. Does this sound good corporately as well as personally? Yes, we can create World Peace. It all starts with our greeting. Please visit our site and be sure to check out our EVENT HISTORY.
We can be the change we seek.

[@pattyayers]

‘rad’?? Is this 1986? 😊

[@drbharatj]

Gandhi observed mum once a week .But kept conversing with people by writing .He used to carry a stone slate and chalk with him for the use.. That is wrong. You wants to save your energy , you loose talking un necessary things But if you try to converse by writing or Conway by acting you loose lot more energy than you will loose other wise by talking.. The whole purpose of not talking is lost. Saying a lot without saying a word is a great yoga tecknique.

Wait, he made a video in support of Obama you say? Hmm...

[@emesevarga3084]

Ironic isn't it ? BHO turned out to be one of the phoniest weasels in government. Road Home would be a great campaign song for Trump in 2020 .
