Hi my name's Eoin Finn
I'm a yogi and a surfer and a blissologist
my first experience of yoga was in university
and I was a philosophy major and I started studying eastern philosophy
and when I read the Bhagavad Gita it lit me up like no other book
I've still ever read, I knew I wanted to teach yoga
pretty much from the first time I did it
except I never really thought I could do it because
I always tell people I've never seen, even though I've taught over 10,000 people probably
yoga now and I've never seen anyone who is as stiff
and tight and injured as I was when I first started yoga so
the actual concept of being able to do it physically never occurred to me for a
long time but
right from the start my like mission is about spreading the joy and love and bliss
inside around
this is a great way to do it, so I sometimes refer to the big Y
and the little Y yoga, and the big Y yoga is really what the yogis
intended, which was getting in touch with the consciousness inside of us all
the consciousness to the yogis is our soul and it
really makes us feel all connected together and you get there
by stilling the mind and sometimes I think the little Y is just
that physical yoga practice, what most people in the street
think of when they think of yoga, the little Y yoga can
connect you to the big Y yoga, in fact it's a great tool for it, it just needs
to be taught that way
the little Y yoga deals with the body and when our body is
clear and calm and at ease then it helps to still the fluctuations of the mind so we
can connect to that big Y yoga
I get the most satisfaction
out of time in nature in beautiful places
pretty much any place that we haven't put up a shopping mall or parking lot
qualifies but if it's the ocean it's even better, for some reason the ocean is the
one thing that really lights up my soul and brings
so much joy to my life, if I wasn't around the ocean
I don't think I'd have my superpowers, what I hope my students get when they work
with me is that
my life mission is to be a conduit for the force of love
and really that's what we're all here to do on the planet is to really
light a fire in our own hearts and then try and light as many
fires as we possibly can in the hearts of others and that's what we're trying to do is collect
as many people together as possible on the same mission
in 10 years you'll probably find me more or less in the same place hopefully by the
ocean
with my family because I think that time
in nature with your family is really what success
and life is really all about, so it's my ultimate barometer
so no matter where I am, I hope it's by a beach somewhere living with my family
and with a community of inspired people
