#57 - HIRO LANDAZURI - CREATOR OF BODY SMART YOGA & CONTENT CREATOR
Hiro Landazuri (@actionhero) always knew he wanted to heal others from a young age. He began teaching yoga in 2007, while pursuing a dual master degree in medical pharmacology and cardio pulmonary surgery. He ultimately realized he had a greater purpose in life, to help more people through the power of Yoga.
He began to develop a style of yoga that would help heal injuries along with increasing functional strength, flexibility and emotional intelligence. Incorporating his vast knowledge in anatomy and science, Hiro created Body Smart Yoga.
Body Smart Yoga is meant to empower his students to find a deeper awareness of their physical and emotional bodies through detailed self assessment and injury prevention. Hiro’s ultimate mission is to heal, re-educate and inspire students and teachers to break through their self limiting beliefs.
