Baron Baptiste is an international best-selling author, educator, and international presenter. For more than 20 years, Baron has been an influential teacher, trainer, leader, and catalyst in the realm of personal growth. He has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people from dozens of countries with his best-selling books, video/audio products, public speaking engagements, and live trainings and workshop presentations, and appearances. Baron's books have been published and translated into more than 12 languages.
Born into a lineage and heritage of health, yoga, and spiritual educators, Baron was bred to teach and educate. He's a man of much life experience in life transformation, self-development education, yoga philosophy, and practice. Intimately familiar with its pitfalls and its power, Baron, an intelligent and deliberate man, holds himself with a dignified mindfulness and positive air. In 2006, Yoga Journal wrote: "If there were a royal family of American yoga, Baron Baptiste would certainly be a prince." It's clear that Baron has exactly what it takes to continually transform the face of yoga in America and build powerful bridges from the wisdom of the east into the spiritually starved west. Couple his own true-life hardships, transformations and accomplishments with his knack for expressing words that create new worlds for people and his ability to deliver a methodology that provides individuals and groups with a means to design new contexts and paradigms in body and mind-both on and off the yoga mat.
Baron has educated people throughout the world from remote Fijian villages to the heart of New York City. People from six continents and all walks of life have taken classes with Baron and utilized his methods, from the highly educated and successful to the down-and-out, people ranging in age from children to seniors, people who see life as an opportunity to keep learning. Baron has not only touched the lives of people with means, such as the Kennedys, Hollywood celebrities, and professional athletes (he trained the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles), but also has devoted his time to helping those individuals with less opportunities. He has coached people living in impoverished areas of Central America, troubled teenagers in South Central Los Angeles and families living in low-income government housing in Washington, D.C.
Baron became a well-known author with his bestselling book, Journey Into Power, and has gone on to write and create many other self-help tools, including: 40 Days to Personal Revolution, The PBS Television Special "Transform Your Life with Baron Baptiste," The Soul of Strength Video Series, The Teachers' Insight Series, The Yoga Bootcamp in a Box, and the best-selling children's book My Daddy Is a Pretzel, as well as a series self-empowerment tools for parents and children. Hay House is publishing his book, Breaking Through: Lead Your Life from the Growing Edge, in 2009. Over the last 8 years Baron has founded and directed three of the busiest yoga schools in America in Boston, MA. Over 600 students pass through the Baptiste Power Yoga Institutes daily. He's also the inspiration to over 30 Baptiste Affiliate studios that are peppered out globally.
