John Baldwin

John Baldwin is a blue collar yoga teacher transplant from Phoenix, Arizona. Years ago, he held a lowly rank in the U.S. Marines, but eventually got out after 8 years of service to do the corporate thing for a while.  When he later returned to college on the GI Bill, this time to study philosophy, he began to explore on his own the art and science of yoga with greater depth and intensity.  He now uses his personal yoga practice to assist his journey into health, philosophy, minimalism, and spirituality.  Believing that a healthy mind and body is the most abundant form of wealth, he strives to bring whole-body enrichment to the lives of others through a persistent practice of yoga. When he’s not teaching  or practicing his eclectic hatha yoga, you’ll find him out camping in the woods somewhere, thumbing a philosophy or poetry book while petting his cats, riding Ol’ Yeller (his bicycle), dancing til the wee hours the morning,or wrestling with his friends or two tween sons.
