About Dray Gardner: FREE Yoga and Meditation *conference attendees only*

Dray Gardner is a superhero in his own right. Having healed himself after a life-threatening car crash through the power of yoga and meditation, Dray uses his journey as a beacon of resilience, discipline, balance, and hope.

Today, Dray is one of the most coveted yoga instructors on the West Coast. His “No take two” mentality and unconventional approach have earned him partnerships with globally-recognized brands like Nike, EDC, Lululemon, and more.

Despite his prestige, Dray remains loyal to his Las Vegas community. As a resident for over 30 years, he’s laid his roots and continues to flourish, having built a city-wide support network. Though he’s most well-known for his expertise in yoga, Dray is also a prolific advocate for cannabis reform and uses plant medicine as an extension of his practice.

Growing Pains

Dray Gardner was born in South Central Los Angeles. He spent his early days there before moving to Santa Ana at the age of 8. Athletic by nature, his teenage years were spent participating in jiu-jitsu, wrestling, football, or any combat-related sport. Life in Santa Ana. wasn’t easy and street fights were a regular occurrence for Dray. Looking back on this time in his life, Dray recalls himself as “confrontational” and having a short fuse.

Eventually, he decided he had enough. At 23, Dray sought to reinvent himself and moved his life from California to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Though this change of environment suited him well, his time in California took a toll on him that couldn’t be escaped. The abuse his body took over the years, whether it was from sports-related injuries or various fights that led to broken bones, created severe back pain. These incidents eventually caught up to him and reached a breaking point in 2006 when his back gave out at age 37.

His doctors insisted on back surgery, but Dray was reluctant. He knew of people who had back surgery, and they were still in pain, on a number of medications, and crippled by the procedure.

Instead, he sought out a holistic approach. After researching on his own and hearing a friend’s doctor recommend hot yoga to treat their hypertension and type 2 diabetes, Dray signed up for a 30-day yoga challenge. Little did he expect those 4 weeks to change his entire life.

Stick around and experience Dray up close and personal for this once in a lifetime FREE opportunity!
