YOU DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO ONLY COME THIS FAR

This self-shot backbend handstand practice was filmed at Menla Retreat Center, a community Victor loves, created by Tibet House US.

Raised north of Copenhagen (Denmark) Victor Plank Harms grew up in the 90s watching a lot of American TV (like, a LOT! Maybe it was not that bad for kids back then?) He found escape in Spider Man’s acrobatic moves saving the city (New York) from its anxieties.

This may explain why he became obsessed with climbing the façade of his childhood home, which led his mom to sign him up for kids’ acrobatics class. That same energy (or restlessness?) would eventually lead him to jump across the Atlantic to New York City to pursue a career in television (but Victor told his nephew he is Spider Man).

 ​

Today, as a TV showrunner and lifelong student of yoga, he splits his time as a storyteller on set and on the mat surrendering to New York strangers who quickly turn into friends.

Victor is a certified Modo Yoga Teacher with a little bit of training in the trademarked Katonah Yoga method. He moves with grace despite his athletic roots in competitive handball in Europe. He studied death, media, comedy, calisthenics, sex and surivial in film school. Self-certified human analyzer. DM for a free class. ​

He teaches yoga and directs film in English and Danish while his German, Norwegian, and Swedish come in handy for front desk small talk and poetry.

Off the mat, his work as a filmmaker has taken him across North and South America, Europe, East Africa, Asia, and the Arctic, with credits spanning HBO to Danish public TV.​

Victor lives on the water next to a fire station in a Brooklyn building that survived the war by the pink metal bridge. 

P.S. This is the first bio Victor has ever written about himself in the third person.

NAMASTE!
