Life and work
Miller is the Director of the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Carlsbad, California. Miller was the first American certified by K. Pattabhi Jois to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and is credited as one of the first to bring Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga to the United States. Vanity Fair (magazine) refers to Miller as one of Jois' "best known students," and The New York Times refers to Miller as "one of the first Ashtanga teachers in United States." He was recently named as one of the 10 influential yoga teachers who have shaped yoga in America by Yoga Journal.
Miller met K. Pattabhi Jois in Encinitas, California in 1978 after Miller had only been practicing yoga for 8 months. Miller went to India to study under Jois, and decided to teach yoga.
Miller taught at the first Yoga Journal conference from May 3-5, 1996 and has been a frequent speaker and teacher at subsequent events. Miller is known for having an affable, un-intimidating teaching style.
Miller has been head of the Ashtanga Yoga Nilayam, called the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Encinitas, California since 1981. Miller, Trish O'Rielly, and Roger Cole opened the North County Yoga Center in the late 80s, one of the first yoga centers in Los Angeles.
