YOU DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO ONLY COME THIS FAR
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 serving the city as 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.
His classes focus on stabilizing the nervous system while building solid physical and mental architecture, drawing from the traditions of Iyengar, Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga.
Educated and certified through Kula Yoga Project and Modo Yoga, with additional teacher training in the Katonah Yoga method
at The Studio in New York City. Forever a critical student of yoga, Victor continues to study across disciplines, drawing from Hatha, Vinyasa, Katonah, Iyengar, and contemporary movement practices.
As a former child gymnast, Victor has been observing the world upside down since he was a kid in Denmark ("who wants to play spiderman?"). He moves with grace despite his athletic roots in competitive handball in Europe. He studied death, media, comedy, calisthenics, sex and survival 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.
Off the mat, his work in film and television has taken him across North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Arctic, with credits spanning HBO to Danish Public TV.
Victor lives on the water next to a fire station in a pre-war building by the pink metal bridge in Brooklyn.
P.S. This is the first bio Victor has ever written about himself in the third person.
NAMASTE!
