These days, yoga is a mainstream phenomenon practiced by many. But back in the 1970s, when actor and filmmaker Campbell Scott first discovered it, it was still a fringe practice associated with hippies and gurus.
In this episode with guest host Larry Millburn, Campbell shares how a yoga book by Richard Hittleman nourished him physically, mentally, and spiritually.
As a teenager struggling with anxiety and self-doubt, Campbell was drawn to yoga's promise of inner peace and resilience. Over the years, his practice became an anchor, and a way to stay grounded in the face of the challenges and uncertainties of life as a performing artist.
Campbell also talks about:
How yoga helped him quit smoking and manage the pressures of an acting career
Getting over the discomfort of being a man in female-dominated yoga spaces
How his practice has evolved over decades
How yoga fosters a sense of presence and connection
Why more men should give yoga a try
