Actor and Filmmaker Campbell Scott Reveals How Yoga Became His Secret Weapon On and Off Stage

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 Links: Campbell Scott's IMDb page Richard Hittleman's Yoga book Larry’s Yoga for Dudes website Way of the Empowered Man Retreat GTY Episode
