John Friend, Inc.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my new website, which contains my teaching schedule through the end of 2013, and general information on my current teaching style and methodology.

Last October I returned to public teaching with a refreshed view and rededication to healing through disciplined practice. I spent 2012 in deep self-reflection, which led me to realigning with principles of inner harmony, individual accountability, and open-hearted service to the whole. Also my body-mind was positively transformed last year through intense asana practice, healing foods, and meditation practice, which brought me a renewed vitality for serving through teaching hatha yoga.

One of the great blessings of the Kali year of 2012 for me was collaborating with Desi Springer of Vital Yoga in Denver. She introduced me to The Roots practice, which turned out to be one of the most balancing asana routines ever, especially for the neuro-glandular system. Perhaps even more importantly, regular practice of The Roots led Desi and me to radical insights into alignment principles for physical therapy and for athletic performance. In the beginning of 2013 Desi and I established a new hatha yoga school, Sridaiva yoga, based on the new formulations of our paradigm-shifting concepts about postural alignment.

I feel that Sridaiva is my most potent work of my 32-year teaching career, and so I am thrilled and grateful to have so many new opportunities to share it with students around the world! Please check out my 2013 tour schedule, which encompasses over 40 different events around the world. I am also now teaching regular public classes every Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Vital Yoga in Denver.

I hope that I will get the opportunity to share with you my new teachings directly in the near future. Thank you for your support and dedication to excellence.

Blessings to All, John
