Last week's New York Times feature on John Friend and Anusara yoga (see The Yoga Mogul) has generated quite a lot of chatter on the internet this week, including rebuttals from top Anusara teachers Christina Sell (via her blog) and Elena Brower (via YogaDork) and, finally, John Friend himself (via his blog and Elephant Journal). The unfolding story continues to make fascinating reading, and, as Friend notes, it's all bound to raise the profile of Anusara.
Meanwhile, the above-mentioned YogaDork is the subject of yet another New York Times article, examining her popular blog covering all the timely yoga/pop-culture news that's fit to print. Keep your eye on YogaDork for more coverage of the Yoga Mogul backlash, and on The Gray Lady, as her love affair with yoga continues.
