| hey elson -
i just realized the quote re: if not being a good example being a really bad example -- i see it as a sig line on a lot of replies besides yours. i thought you were saying that to me, hence my reply about you being funny. sorry for that confusion

| I had to laugh at people (whining) worrying about driving 45 minutes or so to a class. I live in the DC area and there isn't a thing that isn't that far away, practically, even if it's just across town. I moved out to the country and now it's 2 hours in morning traffic, 1.5-2 in the afternoon, and if I hit real rush hour? Forget it. Starbucks. Plan ahead, eliminate stress, do yoga.
If you drop Betsey Downing a note, she'll let you know who is in her training and where they are. She's very communicative and friendly. Of course, if you're up for a real road trip, go see her in Sarasota. She was in Denver this week and as beautiful as ever!
Ah well. Off to class -- that starts at 6:15.
Christine

| thanks guys/gals!!! gruvemom - what is pm'd? personal messaged - as in my hotmail account? if so, it hasn't hit there. please advise as i don't want to miss any of your communication. good to know broward is anusara happening. i was clueless as those names are not on the anusara website. perhaps they're not affiliated teachers yet? if that's the case, for me to accure hrs i must study with an affiliate or certified anusara teacher.
i would like to move to palm beach or more north, say martin co or the space coast and am sending cosmic vibes to any and all anusara teachers in hopes that one or more will suddenly have a desire to relocate to one or more of those counties. how selfish am i?!?
wow, crazy re: dc traffic and commuting. i'll remember that one my way to o town on saturdays.
thanks heaps yogi pals  |

That's bad, I agree, but that's what urban living is becoming. Sure would be
nice to see some money invested in public transportation, instead of the
$100 billion/year we are spending on George Bush's wars.

| Kabu, when we bought our house 13 yrs ago, dh's 24 mile commute was 35 mins. Now it's min 1.5 hour |

| Christine, I'm really looking forward to meeting Betsey in October. My uncle lives in Sarasota, so it's a strong possibility that I'll get over there before then! |

| hey gruvemom -
fujirox in gainesville. how are you???
well, the commute to o town is proving quite the drain. i'm thinking to do betsey's TT next year (one weekend per month vs commuting to class each week) and was wondering if you could please connect me with your classmates you mentioned in an earlier email who are doing the TT with her now. i'd love to pick their brains a bit. have you studied with betsey at all? i have not as of yet. i must get to a class or workshop with her soon and check out the vibe. doug keller was in jax beach a few weeks ago - missed that, dang! he'll be in ft walton beach next month -- that may work out.
thanks, gruvemom!

| hey gruvemom -
fujirox in gainesville - how are you?
i wanted to check in with you once again re: anusara in dade/bro co. as i mentioned a few mos ago, my plan A was to move to st pete and study in sarasota a few times a week, take immersions and do the TT in 2007. however, i recently was connected to an anusara yogi in gainesville (i thought i was the only one interested!) and he travels to miami to study with jordan, newly certified anusara teacher.
i left ft laud one year ago and am used to not driving in traffic and being around the intensity of that more urban area. the idea of driving to miami a couple of times a week for class is HORRIFYING to say the least. that being said, i'd move almost anywhere to be with my future yoga teachers.
i am going to check out sarasota this month and must head down south to check out the near handful of teachers in the s.e. kula. any thoughts re: teachers, driving, MIAMI, etc, etc, would be super great!
hope this finds you very well - happy holidays!
thanks gruvemom

| Fuji, just so you know, there are some great Anusara opportunities in Broward. I'm doing an immersion w/ Jordan in Jan. at YogaOne in Hollywood, Christy Nones teaches all over Broward County, there's a relatively new teacher, Tobey, who teaches in Hallandale, Batya (she teaches w/ Jordan in Miami) is filling in for my teacher while he's away this month.
www.yoga1.net
I'm so glad I don't have to schlep to Miami, too! Jordan's immersion is the last 2 weekends in Jan and the first weekend in Feb @ Yoga One. There should be info on the website soon.
I met Jordan at the convention and he's great.

| re : Anusara in Florida
I will be in Florida for holidays visiting family in Largo. If anyone is near there and would like to practice-please let me know!
I would welcome an Anusara practice friend. Also, Rita Knorr just moved to St Petersburg area from Chicago for anyone looking for a good Anusara teacher. She is affiliated or certified/not sure which.
Very good teacher.
namaste,

| hi fujirox & Gruvemom
thanks for the schedule at Garden of the Heart. I will be in after these dates...but will check it out.
Have studied w/Betsey twice & met Jaye at a training last year-he's awesome! so inspiring! We did backbend partnering.. he's a crazy yogi-man! so much fun.
I need to visit Sarasota & would love to see Betseys' studio. Do you study there fujirox?
Gruvemom-have enjoyed hearing your reflections on the workshop weekend. My friends who attended the training are still glowing.
my best-

| Gruvemom and Fujirox.........I just happened on this site by chance and read you are in Gainesville and interested in Anusara......I attended Betsey's Anusara Teacher Training in Sarasota 2 years ago and it was wonderful....well worth the ride back and forth once a month. I am going to the Aug immersions and takeing some students if you are interested in going down. Love to meet you..........Mary Lynn |

| Going back to the top here - the question of does Anusara Yoga = Siddha Yoga (answer, no). Christine YogaDancer really said it all, and quite eloquently - but I thought I'd add my perspective as an Anusara teacher. Just confirming from the "inside" that not only was Siddha Yoga not pushed on us teachers, I'm not sure I ever heard John or any other certified teacher even mention Siddha Yoga or Gurumayi except in passing. Perhaps when sharing their background, ideas, a story but never as a tradition that we must know about or even look into.
There are Anusara teachers who are Siddha yogis. And I know a certified teacher who is a devout Buddhist. I know others who adhere to their Jewish or Christian faiths... you get the idea... Anusara says Yes to it all.
If an Anusara teacher chooses to teach about Siddha Yoga, then that is his/her choice, not a requirement or part of the system / method.
Hope that helps! |

| siddha yoga does inform and permeate anusara yoga. i do NOT mean that everyone who teaches anusara practices siddha yoga but, the connection is always there however heavy and obvious or however light and discrete. |
