Here&#8217;s what he had to say about his education at MSU:<\/p>\n<p>At 麻豆传媒在线 I met knowledgeable teachers who didn\u2019t just give me pat answers to what I was seeking. They gave me more questions, expanding my mind way beyond what I started with. Many people asked what I plan on doing with my Religious Studies degree. I am in fact using my degree as I teach yoga, meditation, Buddhism, and mindful living.<\/p>\n<p>I own and operate Live Free Yoga Studio in River Edge, New Jersey, and am releasing my second book on meditation called, <em>Your Life IS Meditation: Buddhist-Inspired Stories and Reflections<\/em>, (November 2015). My first book, <em>Be Your Sh*tty Self: An Honest Approach to a More Peaceful Life<\/em>, was a number one Amazon best-seller in Meditation, and much of my writing has been published on popular yoga blogs and websites.<\/p>\n<p>Earning a degree in Religion at MSU can help you transform your life. I would recommend this program for anyone and everyone, regardless of your religious stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author and owner of Live Free Yoga Studio in River Edge, New Jersey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
