Some yoga teachers are hip, some are popular, some are just plain legendary. We invite you to check out Chuck Miller who tends to fall in that last category. He doesn’t make too many trips to NYC (or anywhere, really) so here’s your chance to learn from a master teacher.
His bio:
Chuck Miller has been practicing yoga earnestly since 1971 and finally learned Ashtanga Yoga from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 1980. Studies with Pattabhi include numerous extended and familial encounters in America and nearly 2 years during 7 trips to Mysore , South India .
Chuck enjoys teaching with a focus on the wholistic nature of Ashtanga Yoga, teaching it as both a philosophical system as well as a strong practical method. Chuck is known for his gentle but deliberate hands-on adjustments which are both reassuring and challenging.
Teaching since 1988 Chuck was Director of Ashtanga Yoga and was a co-owner of the original Yoga Works in Santa Monica , CA , for over 16 years.
Chuck will be at Pure Yoga this weekend April 27th-29th:

This guy is the real deal. I just took a workshop with him in Paris and it was fabulous. I, for one, have grown so yoga celebrity weary and Chuck Miller was a breath of fresh air. He has nothing to prove or sell, just pure teaching with lots of humility and undeniable skill. Thanks YD, for promoting him and others like him.
