I'm having a lot of conversations at the moment along the lines of "am I doing it right?" <br /><br />We all know why we love Anusara, we all know when the style is being represented in class but replicating it ourselves and viewing ourselves objectively, that's a whole other story. Practice huh?Adele Cassidy Yogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583310926847403710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-40585603940056411372011-07-09T13:36:35.658-07:002011-07-09T13:36:35.658-07:00Thanks Christina.

I am part of a spiritual community and our teacher just passed so we are living into that question right now!<br /><br />As far as Anusara Yoga goes, I love this question and will craft some thoughts on the topic soon and see if I can even get John to comment for us. (It never hurts to ask!)<br /><br />(Although that is kind of a funny thing, huh?-- asking John to comment on a question about what are we going to do when John is not around to comment on things?!) Oh, the irony.<br /><br />Thanks everyone, for chiming in. I love hearing from you all and seeing the full spectrum of our rainbow engaged.Christina Sellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08401826381021947279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-9638366949501497402011-07-09T06:10:34.353-07:002011-07-09T06:10:34.353-07:00Christina,

I'm not sure I would have come through other doorways as easily. The experiences of others you touch on in this post are, of course, their experiences. My experience is the other side of the coin.<br /><br />I am curious about the steps being taken to allow Anusara to survive and thrive in a "post-John Friend" era. As a student of religion (professionally)I know that the transition from the visionary founder can sometimes be filled with challenges. Much depends upon how things are handled while the founder is still vital and active.<br />This is related to what you wrote about the balance of the personal voice of the instructor and the integrity of the method. <br /> <br />I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023622926853907589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-16297451618167977482011-07-08T11:46:18.368-07:002011-07-08T11:46:18.368-07:00This resonates with what I've always felt abou...This resonates with what I've always felt about Anusara yoga. Thank you for putting those feelings so eloquently into words. I want to share this post with all my CorePower Yoga teacher friends, hee! I am trying to patiently await my TT with Jeanie Manchester this Fall; this post makes it harder to be patient, but in a good way! Also, looking forward to your workshops in Boulder in August!laura-geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481060955257036782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-9333282188944764692011-07-08T09:28:46.767-07:002011-07-08T09:28:46.767-07:00As always, it seems you are reading my mind- tou...As always, it seems you are reading my mind- touching on a conversation about the method that i was recently having.<br /><br />I am so looking forward to deepening my experience with you when TT begins in Athens!<br /><br />I can't wait to hear what you and Noah are cooking up for mentoring...carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139613366513372918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-46886132634811615852011-07-08T09:06:14.294-07:002011-07-08T09:06:14.294-07:00As Hareesh shared, Tantrikas have so many varied, ...As Hareesh shared, Tantrikas have so many varied, diversified ways to get to the HEART of the matter.

Your online mentorship exercises have been very helpful. I take rep-ing that part of the method so seriously and am struggling to connect to my courage and Boldness there! ...its video time in TN....<br /> I love this!maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683368831009459328noreply@blogger.com
