<p> The New York Times Magazine has a profile of John Friend <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/magazine/25Yoga-t.html">up on the web</a> (and presumably soon in print). As an Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher, who has met and studied with John many times, I was interested to read it.</p> <p> Overall, I thought the piece was pretty good.</p> <p> Most of the things that Ms. Swartz writes about John–and yes, everyone in the Anusara community calls him John; it seems like name-dropping until you meet him, and then it seems pretty natural–ring true to me. But not all.</p>
