3. Baron Baptiste
Baptiste was born to parents who are both yoga practitioners. At a young age, he was able to meet gurus Swami Rama, Sai Baba, and Muktananda. His influences for creating his Vinyasa flow technique are Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, and Raja yogas. He runs a nonprofit called the Africa Yoga Project, which benefited thousands of students in Kenya where they learn for free.
