Bhagavan Bauer was born and raised in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, where he grew up in a Spiritual commune for the first 16 years of his life. 
At the age of 18 he made a drastic change in his health and fitness. In doing so he inspired many around him to make a change in their own health. In 1997 he moved to New York City to pursue an acting career and acted in plays, films and commercials. At that time he also began to pursue a career as a certified personal trainer and worked at one of the top gyms in the US as a high level specialized trainer. As a trainer, he saw the results being made physically were tremendously increased, and sustained, when combined with internal, personal growth training.
For the past ten years he has been studying personal growth, community development and group facilitation. After taking more than 15 different self-awareness courses., He realizes that working on and growing who he is, is the best way to be effective in his relationships.
With the same enthusiasm that he studied self improvement, he began studying child development and has initiated the application of both self and child development principles, with his children and also in coaching other parents.
From this he isolated and identified seven universal principles essential for sustaining and nurturing family relationships in a conscious and empowering way. He began focusing on family interactions after his work brought about a wonderful transformation in the relationship with his mother.
This shift resulted in a deeper connection than either of them had ever known; a deeper connection with self, a connection with one another and a gratifying ability to deeply connect with others all around.
"My greatest satisfaction and fulfillment is my family, my wife and our two sons. Being able to make an impact and difference in their lives is what brings me the most joy. My second greatest satisfaction comes from sharing what I have learned with others."
