This is really lovely. Thanks to all.
wow! check it out- what a beautiful blending of "what is and what shall always be" and what is happening right now. I am so happy & grateful to be part of this- to call myself an Anusarian- hmm nation of all.
love that Texan*
Me too. I wish he were my dad, or more likely, troublemakin' Uncle. Anusara should market Friend Dolls, that wind up and say things like "no integrity, all over!" They'd be a hit with yogis everywhere.
he used to make fun of me and my sister at classes and call us "the miller sisters" and then chuckle. i think there should be a chuckle feature perhaps. he has that contagious sort of laugh….
what a blessing to be a part of this creation and part of the Anusara Kula……..Thank you John for all the Light & Love that you spread =)
What a masterpiece! Practicing yoga is an art form…
really amazing video!
These my peeps.
My deepest praises and appreciation to all who participated in these practices w/us, SO much heart felt seva during John's stay making it so memorable. Mad love and thanks go out to Mario Covic, Jai Zeta for their photography, Maestro MiLo for so many sleepless nights, his love and patience w/me all the while caressing this into existence (mad!!! editing skills) and yes none of this would have been if not for the great Goddess herself ~ too the Shakti I bow.
Wow, so beautiful. I'm so honored to have been there and to be a part of this amazing kula. Thank you John! thank you DK and Tiffany! Nova

Thank you John, DK and all the wonderful Anusara lovers of life. My heart has not been this open in many years. I feel truly speechless in the presence of such beauty and devotion. I look at this picture, reflect upon the event and visit with the stream of new friends that come by my little shala and my heart bursts open every time. I am humbled, inspired and in love. Peace to us all. Dennis

Beautiful Teaching! Beautiful Video! Thanks All for your work and dedication in putting this together.
Jai John! Jai Anusara!
Thank you Waylon, for posting this piece. Thanks to dk and Milo for creating such a beautiful reflection of Anusara yoga. I love that it's both raw and refined at the same time. Such a full experience all the way around. It is truly the merging of Shiva and Shakti that has danced this video into creation! More, please.
Totally rocks in both a raw and refined blend of yumminess!!!
There is so much power/love/goodness/integrity in what we all do. TOGETHER WE CHANGE THE WORLD! Can you feel it?
Thank you for your kind words and presence Daniel. Yours and Maral's Acro-Yoga cameo from that evening, brings such a wonderful light and refinement to all of us blessed to witness. The trust, commitment and Shri that is demonstrated in both of your Sadhana never ceases to inspire me! …OM
Thank you for your kind words and presence Daniel. Yours and Maral's Acro-Yoga cameo from that evening was such an exquisite offering of Shri, so glad we got to share a taste. All love–dk
Very, very sweet. What a lovely offering from all.
Good stuff all around, beautiful piece of work. It is a pleasure to have our band included in the soundtrack (Shine On You Crazy Diamond) and wanted to offer up some more music for your listening pleasure. Here is a link to check out a TON of free tunes. http://bit.ly/UBMKk
