Baron Baptiste

Through rigorous study in India and America that began at the early age of 12 years old, Baron Baptiste has created a yoga practice without boundaries.

Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic combination of strength, sweat and spirituality. It heals, detoxifies and electrifies the body and mind at their deepest levels. With this practice, Baron has knocked yoga off of its pedestal and demystified it by bringing it into people's lives across America -- and now in Chapel Hill through Franklin Street Yoga Center!

Baron teaches thousands of people of all abilities and all walks of life -- NFL athletes, people struggling to control their weight, over-stressed, ambitious Type-A personalities, Hollywood celebrities; they all benefit. At the Baptiste Power Yoga Institute in Boston and Cambridge the diversity of the students is evident on a daily basis: there are surgeons, nannies, carpenters, housewives, writers, students, professional athletes, cancer patients, people living with the entire range of degenerative illnesses, the old, the young; the list does not end. In Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga America has found its Yoga!

Baron is the son of two of America's yoga pioneers and is the third generation in his family to transform Yoga in America. For the past 17 years, he has brought his charismatic and masterful teaching skills to students and teachers all over the world. He has trained extensively in classical yoga traditions, as well as the more physical Ashtanga, Iyengar and Bikram styles of yoga and integrated this wealth of experience into an amazing process, which is accessible to all that desire true and lasting transformation.
