“Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.”
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1:33
Scott lives in Toronto where he teaches the philosophy and practice of yoga.
Inspired by Toronto’s diverse yoga community, he has helped develop greater dialogue between practitioners through roundtable debates, festivals, symposiums, ethics committees, outreach and community service programs.
As director of Yoga Community Toronto (a non-profit, volunteer-run, organization designed to facilitate community projects and interactivity), the Yoga Festival Toronto (an annual three-day, non-profit, local conference), and the Acorn Fund (a yoga community fund that offers annual grants to socially-engaged, local, yoga projects that serve the greater community outside of studio culture).
Scott is also a leader in the Roots Village Project along with School of Hustle to help at-risk-youth discover and engage with the world in new ways that develop their potential and sense of self in the community.
In 2010, he co-authored Yoga 2.0 with Matthew Remski, an exploration of the evolution of yoga in modern culture. In 2011, Scott once again joined forces with Matthew to produce a radical, new translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali entitled Threads of Connection to be published in 2012.
