Equinox Video Interview with Briohny Smyth and Michael A Stusser

Equinox Video Interview with Briohny Smyth and Michael A Stusser

Bookmark and Share

Briohny Smyth caused a ruckus, Michael A. Stusser made us laugh. Hear from each of them on the effects of the 2012 Equinox video.

Briohny Smyth started 2012 with a bang: featured doing yoga in what became a highly controversial ad by Equinox. She joins us to chat about her experiences, her yoga practice and what it’s like to be at the center of a proverbial tornado.

In response to the Equinox video Seattle based writer Michael A. Stusser created his own version. A decidedly different version of an early morning yoga practice. Michael will share the why and how of his own personal yoga journey and the power of not taking ourselves too seriously.

You don’t want to miss this.
