Holy shit! I'm so out of that loop. I'd recently heard of the John Friend thing.
I've known Darren Rhodes (one of the high level Anusara teachers that quit, mentioned in that article) for going on 15 years. I'm commenting because he was mentioned in that article.
I specifically stopped going to all of his studios (he has 3 or 4 in town at last I counted, 2 are easily within drive of my work), in spite of the $5/CLASS prices, because I felt like everyone there was drinking the Anusara Kool-Aid and it was just too much. The preaching. The raw vegan bullshit. The yoga language that had to permeate everything, because Western words just simply couldn't cover it enough.
Aversions to kool-aid drinking must be in my blood or something. I can't wait until Barky posts her stuff on an anonymous website and this all starts for @F. Asstro must be salivating for that day to come.
EDIT: BTW, the time and $$ investment required previously to become a TRUE (not just "Anusara-inspired", what a bullshit term for an intern) Anusara yoga instructor absolutely DWARFED the commitment to do a L1 @F cert. Just sayin'. Look it up.
Thanks for that post. Didn't know much about Anusara until the SHTF but everyone I'd met that did it looked down on every other type of yoga practitioner. Well come to think of it that goes for every yoga style.
Frankly all the major styles are taking a turn for the worse over the last five or ten years. Way too much kool-aid and most of has nothing to do with what yoga was supposed to be about anyway.
I keep thinking most big time yoga would really be a perfect fit for cross-fit. Hell Bikram and Ashtanga even have their own WOD, only it's the same one everyday. Yeah that really makes a lot of sense.
If Pukie is actually a member of the HQ, do you think you may have a case of libel against them?
Posting your photo, email and fucking with your real-life job with false accusations would seem to be beyond what is legal, as least to an uneducated fuck like me.

Looks like somebody got Glassassinated. Somebody who looks a lot better than Glassman. Maybe you should run a day of Glassman photos on the weblog (include the Reebok hates children baby overhead squat).
I'm glad he noticed the "Reebok Games" thing. Reebok: The Sport of Fitness.

@GSElevator: Can we please stop calling them hipsters and go back to calling them pussies?
Blood eagles solve everything.
I guess it's not sexist when an ad has everybody cheating on everybody, good job WGM you did great on covering all the bases and leaving a false trail to a locker room in Germany, your a fucking mastermind, either that or a fucking masterbaiter!
What am I going to do? Keep making fun of everyone involved, and keep informing people of what a massive tool WGM is...
It's funny...anybody who cruised a few forums knows who WGM is, the fact that someone had put his picture with his handle for the slow learners is hilarious.
Not only that, but WGM doesn't really give a shit (at least, not in the impression I get) if you know who he is or what he looks like.
But Pukie, on the other hand...
My cousin is a redheaded german-mexican, we call him a beanerschnitzel
I feel like this is just a weird dream I'm having.
No company worth the millions of dollars that @F is worth has dipshits running around this way.
Last I heard, at least Google's employees waited til they left to rip the company, and Matt Cutts doesn't rip on Bing when he's talking about web spam.
Unreal.

i think it's funny that greg thinks he's the most interesting man in the world. while nearly all the pics i've seen of him do have him holding some form of alcohol, he's still a creepy, fat gimp. tho, it does seem he gets about as much pussy as mr. dos equis.
have you ever been as far as even considered go want to do look more like?
