John Friend: Anusara to Bowspring A Postural Revolution
Video taken from the channel: TINT Yoga
Anusara, which means “flowing with grace,” was founded in 1997 by American yogi John Friend and quickly grew into a respected yoga empire with a large following in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Anusara’s upward momentum came to an abrupt halt, however, in 2012 when Friend resigned his leadership in the wake of a scandal.If you know your yoga history, these poses aren’t even deeply rooted in the yogic tradition. They emerged at the turn of the century when countries like India were developing “fitness” cultures as an emblem of national pride. As the increasingly ugly Anusara scandal unfolds, yoga and yogis in America seem to be approaching yet another.
Anusara School of Hatha Yoga, also known as Anusara Yoga (In Hindi:अनुसार योग) is the successor of a modern school of hatha yoga founded by American-born yoga teacher John Friend in 1997. Friend derived his style from the Iyengar style of yoga and reintroduced elements of Hindu spirituality into a more health-oriented Western approach to Yoga.Anusara Yoga, or “Yoga of the Heart” was founded by John Friend in the 1990’s. Friend, a student of Iyengar yoga, developed an asana system centered on the universal principles of alignment. There is a set ritual used to open each class: three oms, followed by three chants of the Anusara invocation.
The bustling world of American yoga is abuzz with the inevitable sex scandal. John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga, has admitted to numerous affairs with female students, some of whom were married.Anusara yoga focuses on experiencing bliss and joy in your yoga practice and your daily life. Anusara yoga is a modern-day Hatha yoga system founded by John Friend. Anusara means “flowing with grace,” “going with the flow,” “following your heart.” Anusara Yoga.
The Anusara School of Hatha Yoga is the international school that teaches and promotes the practice of Anusara Yoga. It is a teacher-led non-profit organization governed by an elected Board of Directors and is comprised of the Operations Team (staff) and its various committees, which are responsible for the School’s day-to-day operations.The method he started, Anusara, which means “flowing with grace” in Sanskrit, is the first major American-born yoga school without a direct lineage from India. Friend amassed 600,000 students, whom.John Friend, creator of Anusara Yoga, was hugely popular in the late 1980s, but in 2012 allegations of mismanagement and abuse were revealed by The Washington Post.

We take a closer look at sexual harassment cases in yoga.John Friend created the Anusara yoga style and became famous. Now as a scandal comes to light, his followers are split and the movement faces a crisis.
Friend set up Anusara as a style of hatha yoga founded on a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness and based on bio mechanical principles of alignment. Friend derived the name Anusara as meaning ‘flowing with Grace,’ ‘flowing with Nature’ and ‘following your heart,'” as interpreted from the Sanskrit anusāra, meaning “custom, usage, natural state or condition”.More recently, reports of Choudhury’s alleged missteps alternated in the mainstream news with stories of the suspected improprieties of John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga, which integrates yoga therapeutics, philosophy, and alignment. In February 2o12, an Anusara employee claimed that Friend was having sexual relations with employees, leading an all-female Wiccan coven that practiced rituals of a sexual nature, freezing Anusara employee-benefit.

Anusara Yoga is a sophisticated yoga system, founded by John Friend in 1997, that blends together the tradition of a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness, with the biomechanical innovation of the Universal Principles of Alignment™, and the emphasis in.

This new method is a joke, you have no science to back this up, just another ploy to make money after you lost everything. You lied and cheated your students and your teachers (Anusara). John get on with your life, your time as a trusted yoga teacher is over.
You forgot to say you were trained in Iyengar Yoga (intermediate Junior 1)before Anusara. Very sad you do not give any credit to Iyengar Yoga, the original method devoted to alignment
could I also ask for this song please? [email protected] gmail.com THANK YOU:) x
Thank you so much, it’s a wonderfull class! would you mind to send me the music too! [email protected] gmail.com (i love your way of teaching, i send you love, and light, gratitude.
I really love this video, was wondering if it’s possible to have all 15 min in one video or create a playlist so that i can play them consecutively. thanks!
john friend had no remorse when he did not pay me what I was owed, and I had to take him to the Texas workforce commission. john friend is no yogi and john friend is not a friend. i have a traumatic brain injury and he fully took advantage of my kindness. i have not done yoga since 2005. none of the spoiled idiot anusara teachers would listen. they did not care because he is how they made money. I do see that wendy wiltrout works for this organization now just like anusara. i saw a lot of things happen in the woodlands texas. one particular time taking JF to the houston airport JF forgot his wallet. i got in such a argument with this asshole I told him to just blame me. he was a arrogant prick that tied his shoes on the dashboard of my car. no john i have not forgotten what you did to me. you are the reason i quit doing yoga dealing with fake ass deceitful yoga teachers. i have the audio of the texas workforce commission. jf had the whole anusara staff and yoga teachers be his witnesses and they all lied for him. unethical immoral. hey john you never apologized to me you piece of shit!
He is an Irish folklorist musician called Jack Harrison. This track is ‘Sarvesham’ from the album Enchanted Island. Amazing stuff and available to buy from his website
Fantastic class! I’m so happy to find an anusara teacher out there! Thank you Sarah!

Beautiful practice. Thank you so very much. I’ve missed taking Anusara classes…!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and practice:-)
It is a wonderful class! Thank you for it! The only thing that disturbed me sometimes from feeling what’s going on in my body was talking, for me it was too much of talking. But I really enjoyed this class!
Hi! Have you tried Pauna Surprising Yoga Fitness Miracle (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my sisters best friend is getting cool weight loss with it.
yes, pls upload part 2 if u can.
it is indeed such a beautiful video, I’d love do the whole set
John Friend, let me tell you a story; I was just looking into coming to see you and learn about the Bowspring method. A long term student of Anusara, I attended many trainings with you before the “scandal.” But I believe in breaking cycles of negativity and wanted to come and learn… until I saw this… whether or not you believe what you are saying is irrelevant for you must know that your words will cause harm, to both practitioners and teachers of Anusara, both old, current and new and your disregard for this is upsetting. Next time you post a video I invite you with the love that a student has for their teacher to remember the 3 gates of speech: is it true, is it necessary, is it kind? Harmful words like these to not serve anybody.
Que hermoso e inspirador video; podria compartir su musica es tan linda.
Abrazos!!!
may I please have the music too?!

you took advantage of my son and his kindness. how could you do that to someone who has had a crainectomy? this is bad!
Strong, intense, poses that are excellently executed…

Thank you Sarah for this lovely “round” class. In these times when you can`t take
your regular class it`s a fine one to go to. I`ve been doing that for 3 weeks now.
Can anyone tell me where the piece of poetry at the beginning comes from?
@mumauden feel free I enjoy peace through meditation, it brings me into the presence, it’s my goal….. peace is a quality of the heart…. Lee
