Philip Urso

Philip found yoga while searching for relief from a back injury he suffered playing ice hockey. The various doctors eventually agreed the pain was chronic. It wasn't until he tried yoga over 10 years ago, that the pain vanished completely.

Philip became aware of other benefits of yoga. With a regular yoga practice he found he was less reactive and more effective at work and at home. His Baptiste Bootcamp experiences accelerated the process.

"In the back of my mind, I knew I had some unhealthy habits. I dreaded facing them. After each bootcamp, I could see one of these patterns. Seeing it so clearly, it was not hard to let it go, as I feared. I saw the habit for what it was, as hurting me, and it lost power and withered. I am grateful to Baron. At each bootcamp he aimed me in the right direction and allowed the process to work."

Philip has assisted Baron at Yoga Trainings worldwide. He and his wife, Lisa own a Baptiste Affiliate Yoga Studio (www.SaltPondYoga.com) in Southern RI where they live. He has been a student of A Course in Miracles for more than ten years. He publishes a popular podcast on iTunes on The Course called "A Crash Course in Miracles" as well as podcasts of yoga classes. Philip graduated from Portsmouth Abbey and Northwestern University. He has owned and managed radio stations and ISPs, most recently TowerStream Corporation.
