Today, he is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of people from all walks of life, teaching personal transformation and Inner Axis yoga worldwide. His teachings are not limited by contemporary yoga culture, and instead they are known to reach the heart of people across the globe.

A dynamic speaker, Max has presented three TEDx events, a keynote speech on ethics at the Lu Lu Lemon global management conference, and keynote addresses at wellness conferences, corporate conferences, and many yoga festivals. Most recently he presented at the first Wellness Symposium in Saudi Arabia, and the prestigious World Government Summit in Dubai. His TEDx talk, Breathe to Heal, is one of the most viewed talks on breath work in history. Max is recognized by both the Yoga Alliance US and UK at their Advanced Teacher Level (ERYT 500).

All Day Workshop with Max
Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected — yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. Instead, we find that the wealthiest societies of the world have become depressed, anxious, sleep deprived, and over-medicated. At the deepest levels of human fulfillment, it seems that we grossly overestimate what technology can do for us. In response, this special workshop reveals an internal, human technology capable of empowering the most meaningful areas of our lives and leading us to deeper levels of happiness.
We will explore the essential elements of The Three Imperatives, a transformational and healing practice that Max Strom is so highly regarded for and can accelerate change from the inside out.

Max Strom: End Anxiety and Re-inspire
The Extraordinary Power of Conscious Breathing Patterns
Date: Sunday, July 28th, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Cost: $50 (or Full Weekend $275 if registered by 6/15)
Description:
We currently have an epidemic of stress and anxiety in the world that is stifling happiness, meaning, and connection with each other. In the face of such a pervasive problem, it might seem that something as simple as breathing patterns couldn’t possibly help. But scientific research and Max’s personal experience engaging with tens of thousands of people around the world have both found that utilizing conscious breathing patterns for a few minutes every day is the most productive approach for creating immediate relief from stress and anxiety. In this event, Max will lecture and demonstrate, followed by interactive instruction. Max teaches leaders how to use your breath to trigger more inspiration, focus, health, and better sleep. Be sure to bring writing materials for writing answers to a series of questions that will help you identify the causes of your anxiety.

Max Strom: How to inspire and teach your students to Breathe
For yoga teachers and teachers in training
Date: Sunday, July 28th, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Cost: $60 (or Full Weekend $275 if registered by 6/15)
Description:
This special workshop was designed by Max to help teachers to guide their students on how to breathe and why to breathe. In global cities like London, getting a class to breathe deeply can be like pulling teeth. This is because in contemporary urban life there is so much stress, so much competitiveness, and so much frozen energy around people’s hearts; transforming this to a new healthy state is a huge leap. For some, best sets is the hardest part of one’s yoga practice because it is in the chest that we keep our grief and our old memories, and to open the chest would mean dealing with a new personality and a new life—a massive transformation. This is what we simultaneously both strive for and fear. It is like we are stepping on the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time. This workshop will include a lecture, standing and seated breath work, and key yoga postures and movements that cause the students to breathe deeply even if they are resistant or not paying attention. This workshop will help you to embrace teaching breath work to students with new confidence and knowledge. Bring your mat and writing materials. (Please no recording equipment)
