Congratulations on a fantastic web resource! I have recently finished reading your fascinating book and appreciate the immense amount of research that went into it.
Having just read Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Outliers’ I found it interesting to apply some of his material to the Grerat Oom, and wrote about it here:

I’m sorry the video resources aren’t up. I do hope some can be posted in the future.
Best wishes,

I was honored to read T.G.O. My yoga teacher, Paula Heitzner studied with Blanch Devries and it sends chills up my spine and endlessly gratifies me to know the lineage of my weekly yoga practice and the endless ardent work and patience it required to deliver this extraordinary gift of Hatha yoga to America and ultimtely into my life. Many thanks To BobLove for the inspiration to dedication to writing a clear, exciting and some what mysterious documentary the yoga lifestyle of Pierre Benard
Where does Paul Heitzner teach?
