A Police Officer with an Exquisite Practice. ~ Photographed by Robert Sturman
Yep, he’s a real police officer—refers to himself as an officer of the peace and is highly respected in the department. We practice yoga together in Los Angeles. And, in the name of Art, he’s posing in full uniform—guns, baton, and mala beads. More officers than one would imagine are complementing their physical conditioning with a serious yoga practice, which includes meditation.
Now that’s badass.

I love your work! This is awesome
keep it up
Amazing!
I LOVE the mala beads with his uniform. nice touch.
And he’s hot too!
Great photos! I recently spotted a "Police" magazine which had the cover story: "Challenges of policing the Occupy Movement". it was interesting to read how they viewed it, how they deconstructed it: they were protecting the protesters from themselves and the law abiding citizenry from the protesters. I would be interested to hear Officer Milosevich's take on it…how maybe a cop with a yoga/meditation background would have dealt with it. Thanks!
It is very beautiful- you have captured the beauty of yoga exquisitly! I would love to have some of your work beautifying my home. Just a small comment- I think you meant to use the word 'complement' not 'compliment'….just cos you asked for typos…i think that is one.
om shanti
Really beautiful!
Um, this is taking a man in uniform to a whole new level. Thank you! Wowee. xoxo
