Wow, can't wait to see this. I'll be in Germany this summer, so maybe I'll get a look.
Strangely, after this lovely preview came the most bizarre collection of thumbnails for suggested clips from youtube. I'm talking bare butts and penis sheaths. I guess in youtube land yoga is still associated with showman yogis and fakirs.
