  • Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship has nothing to do hatha yoga. So you stretch your body in the same town were the great master lived. I'm not impressive with the association. I lived in Hannibal, MO. doesn't mean I am Mark Twain

  • I do not have diamonds, only wood and stones to work with, yoga was well established in the U.S. by 1920's. You were trained in finance, the light is in the poor and the neediest animals, not the beetles or the rich.

  • GREAT illustrator, GREAT video..... the best money can buy it seems....a shame we wont have GREAT People like Amy Ipoliti and many other great teachers there..... Great Anusara center, but is it worth the spiritual cost??.... Anusara is becoming more like an international corporation ... not a spiritual way of life that is what we seek.

    Everything has to do with money now, and money rots!.... money perverts!.... money desecrates!... . PEACE.

  • There will be ripples of magic and beauty emanating from this new center. I agree with FloweringHeartYoga-- "keep on shining you brilliant diamond John"!

  • Yes, The Sam Walton of Yoga. JF has already chased away two studios from Encinitas and he has guns aimed at anyone else who does not capitulate to his extortion. Aligning himself with Timji and Yogananda exposes his snake oil salesmanship. Meh!

  • I know this will add more light to the world. Keep on shining you brilliant diamond John.

  • This man is full of bullshit, he is interested in making money, not yoga. You have to give it away to keep it. how many classes does he have for the intercity population.

  • Wow, I don't know anything about yoga, but this sounds like a dream.

  • Yes I remember the place, surf, drugs, and white bread
