Podcasts about les leventhal

I am so excited to interview Les Leventhal in today’s session. I first met Les in San Francisco when he was teaching out here. He is unlike anyone else and is hands down the most grounded and down to earth person. He recently wrote a book where he talks about how he was an alcohol-abusing porn star and how he became a beloved, world-famous yoga teacher. In his inspiring memoir, Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime, Les Leventhal reveals his desperate and wildly self-destructive attempts to grasp at self-worth in a turbulent, hostile environment. His story is raw and honest. When I read his book my jaw was on the floor. His story is inspiring to say the least. You will enjoy this episode.

Les Leventhal is a fantastic yoga teacher and an even better person. He's famously  been through the fire and emerged on the other side. His story is an inspiration that proves that people can overcome their past and create an inspiring future for themselves. This conversation was recorded right after the formal interview that was featured in episode 6 of the Life Athletics podcast. 

I originally went to Les' Vinyasa flow class because Derek Loudermilk said Les was one of the best men he knew. With an introduction like that, from a person like that, I HAD to go. What I found was man who seems to have been smoothed out by the roughness of life. He had an ability to make me (in the back row of the class) feel like I was totally okay as I was and that I couild do anything. I know that this is what yoga teachers are supposed to do but I'm a tough person to impress in this way and boy did Les ever impress. HABIT OF THOUGHT: I have to be willing to walk the talk. HABIT OF ACTION: Walk the talk myself first. GREATEST AREA OF STRENGTH: : Very creative sequencer. Brutally honest able to hold a sacred, safe space. (Nik's take: To my eyes, Les has given himself the permission to get over his colourful past and is moving forward cleanly.) TRAINING FOR THIS AREA: Forgiveness. BOOK: Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime: An Inspiring Journey From Rock-Bottom Hopelessness to Wildly Extravagant Possibility  - Les Leventhal Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing - Caroline Myss WEB RESOURCE: Yoga Journal David Wolfe Anna Forest LINK: YogawithLes.com CONTACT: yogawithles.com Instagram - yogawithles Twitter - yogawithless

"Am I helping other people?" -Les Leventhal, on what he asks himself every day. In this episode of the Art of Adventure, My guest is a hero and teacher of mine, Les Leventhal. He is one of the wisest men I know and I learn something about myself every time I take one of his yoga classes. Les was not always a yoga teacher though; in his book, Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime, he talk about his first lifetime as a crystal meth addicted porn star, running away, struggling to find meaningful relationships, and his road to recovery. In this episode we go beyond the book and talk about how he lives his life by the living principles of yoga - the Yamas and Niyamas. Les takes us through some times when he didn't think he would make it through, hitting rock bottom, and why he chose to share his story. I hope you get as much out of this interview as I did! "I would wish for more money to go to helping feed people." - Les Leventhal on what he would add to the world. "Adventure is doing something each day that scares you." - Les Leventhal What you will learn in this episode: -The 10 Yamas and Niyamas of Yoga and how to use them to guide your life -How to stop doing things that aren't working -How to live with less (Les?) -Why Les doesn't look at email after 8 PM -Why we should share our pain and experiences -How to come back from rock bottom Mentioned in this episode: YogaWithLes.com Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime: An Inspiring Journey From Rock-Bottom Hopelessness to Wildly Extravagant Possibility Lululemon Thanks Les Leventhal!

How did the crystal-meth-addicted, alcohol-abusing porn star cross the road to become a beloved, world-famous yoga teacher? In his inspiring memoir, Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime, Les Leventhal reveals his desperate and wildly self-destructive attempts to grasp at self-worth in a turbulent, hostile environment. In the throes of a sharp downward spiral toward certain death, Les summons the strength and surrender to transform his life. However, he soon falls prey to the eerie parallels between his tumultuous past and the life many of us hold as an objective. With more at stake than ever before, Les finds the courage to make a daring choice that penetrates through superficial layers to profoundly change his life.   Resources Les Leventhal's Webisite Previous Podcasts with Les LeventhalBumi Sehat with Les LeventhalYoga & The Twelve Steps with Les Leventhal Purchase:Two Lifestyles, One Lifetime: An Inspiring Journey From Rock-Bottom Hopelessness to Wildly Extravagant Possibility by Les Leventhal

Les Leventhal is a popular San Francisco based yoga instructor who offers retreats and workshops around the world.  In this episode, Darren and Les talk about his upcoming retreat in Indonesia where he and his students will help Bumi Sehat, a natural birthing clinic which helps the poor families of the community who were being taken advantage of by the medical system.  By helping those in need, Les hopes to teach that yoga is more than perfecting one’s poses and that through internal and external work yoga shows its true benefits to the world.
