Your candor and openness are a testatment to the depth of your character.<br /><br />While recognizing you do not owe anyone an explanation, and that I have no particular personal entitlement to answers, I wanted to let you know that I have two questions that I am sure others must have too. So I thought I would share them with you.<br /><br />First, what is the conflict in teachings from your guru and the philosophy that informs Anusara? It seems like it has to be something deep and core and serious to prompt this shift, yet knowing certified Anusara instructors who come from different faiths (Buddhism comes to mind immediately), I'm puzzled as to what it could be,<br /><br />Second, if you are not exactly "leaving" Anusara, why resign Anusara certification? I know that teachers resign certifications for different reasons, often out of respect for their teachers. But I also know yoga teachers who are certified in Anusara and something else, and teachers who are certified (or inspired) in Anusara but do not call their classes Anusara (or inspired). Were you afraid people would be confused or assume you were representing Anusara (because you are known as a certified teacher) when you shared your guru's teachings?<br /><br />Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing you in the yoga world in the future. I wish you love and blessings and radiant success as you travel on your path.<br /><br />Also, if you feel this comment is in any way inappropriate or anything else, I apologize and respectfully invite you to delete/remove it. ('Tis your blog!)<br /><br />With gratitude,<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375750065215030207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-72903413412775874382011-10-28T09:05:10.660-07:002011-10-28T09:05:10.660-07:00It just all about the love....everything else?? eh...It just all about the love....everything else?? eh! distractions!
