ashtanga yoga guruji won't teach muslims

[Guest guest]

Hi there. You wanted to know what day this happened. I kept a

journal while I was there. This occurred in conference on Friday,

May 24th. He really did say these things, and probably at least 50

people were there to hear it, including Kimberly and Noah, so if you

don't believe me, you can ask them. Please do. Perhaps he does

teach Muslims and/or has taught Muslims in the past, but he

definitely SAID he never has/won't on May 24th, and from what senior

students who were there said, he makes statements like this

regularly. Kimberly and Noah said they have often heard him say

similar things in the past. Joseph was in town that week and had

discussions with the woman in question and he also confirmed that

Guruji keeps saying these things, and apparently his opinion was that

it had to stop. (I didn't have a discussion with Joseph directly, but

if you know him, perhaps you can). I think Eddie was also in town

within a few days of this, so he also may be able to confirm this for

you. Hope that answers your uncertainty. For the record, I love

Ashtanga practice, and somehow I seem to still love Guruji, too,

although perhaps in a different way now, so I'm not really one of the

anti-ashtanga bashers. Take care.

 

Oh, regarding who the woman is, I don't think it would be fair to her

for me to give her name (here espcially!) But if you want to talk to

her, I can call her and ask her if she'd like to speak to/e-mail with

you. I am hoping one day she will write about this. But - this

would have been just as inappropriate had she not been there. The

inappropriateness of this was just more noticeable because someone

got hurt directly and very visibly/publicly.

 

Take care.

All deny that this incident ever took place.

 

Who was the woman from New York? What day did this supposedly happen

since Guruji and company left some time ago for the world tour?

 

It seems that the anti-ashtanga movement will stop at nothing to

defame the good name of our blessed teacher. Shame on you!
