Gregory Ormson

Gregory Ormson is a writer and a multifaceted individual based in Arizona, known for his work as a yoga teacher, writer, musician, and motorcycle enthusiast. He is the founder of Yoga and Leather, a unique yoga program tailored for motorcycle riders. He's published over 100 articles on yoga and wrote Yoga Song in both paper and audiobook formats. Yoga Song is a collection of 23 lyric vignettes exploring the transformative power of yoga through breath and movement. Ormson's yoga writing is deeply autobiographical yet universal, grounded in: Breath and Embodiment-as the thread tying physical practice to spiritual experience. Earthly Truths-like death and pain-as catalysts for spiritual awakening. Community-from biker's groups to yoga clouds-as sources of support and transformation. Integration of passions-melding his identity as a biker, musician, writer, and yogi into a unified narrative. His lyrical and anecdotal style invites readers to see yoga not just as exercise, but a profound, layered practice that's physical, emotional, communal, and spiritual-all harmonized through breath, the "song" of yoga. Ormson holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from The Chicago Theological Seminary where he studied the healing power of touch in ritual environments; the power of touch is an apt tool in yoga and community. He's taught a diverse range of subjects including speech, writing, philosophy, sociology, film studies, best sellers, technical writing, and theology; he was an instructor for The Motorcycle Safety Foundation and taught for the state of Hawaii.
