Gillette's background is very diverse--he's studied with the masters of Kripalu, Bikram, Iyengar, and Ashtanga--and has resulted in his own homebrewed vinyasa flow style. The classes are vigorous, but Gillette doesn't focus purely on the physical. "My classes are all in the service of meditation," he says. "Make no bones about it. That's where we're headed. It's not about being prideful with the body."
