About Greg Hendrix

Gregg grew up in Seoul Korea near the Gwanaksan Yeonjuam temple, where he learned meditation and yoga. When he was 14, Gregg and his family moved to the United States, but he brought along the practices that he had learned there.

As a teenager, Gregg suffered serious injuries in a devastating car accident that threatened to leave him with lifelong pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This tragic event prevented Gregg from doing everyday activities most take for granted, like bending over or sitting up. Even worse, he couldn’t run or do any of his favorite athletic activities. Gregg was inspired to go on a quest to find a way to heal his body and regain his strength and mobility (something his doctors warned him was not ever likely to happen). The quest led him to yoga.

With careful but persistent work and determination, Gregg used yoga to heal his body and eventually regained (and improved) his strength and mobility. While continuing his practice and studies, Gregg discovered the need for practicality over esotericism, and explored the impact and benefits of yoga on physical health, pain reduction, flexibility, stamina, and balance.
He learned about the body - how it moves and operates - and became a yoga teacher. He then furthered his education by becoming a certified personal trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

A perpetual student, Gregg’s certifications grew as he became a E-RYT-500 (meaning that he completed over 500 hours of training, and over 1000 hours of teaching). Gregg continues to study and teach yoga, meditation, and fitness.
