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 souls purpose, MC YOGIs journey is saturated in spiritual wisdom, illuminating the potential for transformation within us all.
Review(s):
Behind the music and off the mat - MC YOGIs story of grit and graffiti reminds us that yoga meets us wherever we are and introduces us to
who we are.
Let MCs journey be a reminder to inspire you to follow your own spiritual heart.
In his memoir [MC YOGI] describes his experiences with loss, love, and how ancient Indian teachings helped him find his calling as an artist and a yoga teacher.
Spiritual Graffiti is a journey of awakening and a call to revolution! MC YOGI is one of my favorite Comrades in the fight against greed, hatred and delusion. Read this book and then meditate and destroy every shred of ignorance in this samsaric realm.
MC YOGI is a revolutionary drawing on the power of music, yoga, art and activism in a new genre of conscious hip hop.
Spiritual Graffiti is a vulnerable and inspiring message that is a gift to all unfolding their path particularly on how from falling we can rise.
The path MC YOGI has forged is unforgettable, and his book is needed. May all of us learn to rise up in our own way reading his wise and true understandings.
I cant wait to hand MC Yogis
Spiritual Graffiti to my students. They will recognize themselves in his stories of a chaotic childhood and find hope in his quest for big dreams and big love, even as he travels his own road home.
MC YOGIs hot, hip, and holy book,
Spiritual Graffiti is so beautifully crafted with images that read like a poem and sound like a songtelling the story of a modern day prophet whose soul journey from darkness to light illustrates that with great love all is possible.
I read this book in one sitting. It was a great read and it was good to see how MC YOGIs light found a way to triumph over such great adversity.
To know MC YOGIis to love him, to hear his music and see him perform is to celebrate life. I loved and laughed with this book, which tells the story of a modern-day spiritual seeker/ and reminds us above all else: seek truth, trust and love.
