Sebastian Slovin has spent the last six years on what has turned into a deeply spiritual journey. It began as a quest to put the puzzle of his late father’s life back together. This quest took Sebastian around the world and led him to an intimate understanding of one of our biggest misperceptions as humans -- our feelings convince us that we are living in the present. In reality, we spend our lives predominantly thinking about the past or future.
Since he can remember, nature has been a central part of Sebastian’s life. He was fortunate to grow up in a beach community and spent his childhood in the ocean. He was then able to travel and experience many of the world’s great surf spots as a professional bodyboarder. Through his travel, Sebastian developed a deep love and appreciation for our natural world, and at the same time, he was strongly drawn to the practice of Yoga. The simultaneous genesis of both his deeper and more intimate love of nature, alongside a growing appreciation for Yoga, only strengthened Sebastian’s connection of mind, body, and world. He began to see everything as one.
His love for nature led him to a B.A. in Environment and Natural Resource Conservation. He then went on to study at the Prana Yoga Center.
Sebastian has found that a combination of mindfulness and yoga practice along with frequent contact with nature can bring a deep inner peace. It is his goal that he might inspire others to be peace-seekers, living in the present, bringing mindfulness to their lives and the world around them.
Sebastian’s training includes:
- B.A. in Geography, with an emphasis in Environment and Natural Resource Conservation
- RYT (Yoga)
- Postural Therapy
- ACE (Personal Training)
- NREMT (Emergency Medical Technician)
- CPR, AED Certified
