[...] I’ve gone for eight years, now, missing a year here and there. I call it the Valhalla of yoga: the Rocky Mountain campus is crawling with famous, quality yoga teachers like John Friend, who’s leading this year’s Grand Gathering.

"Sadly, the kind of yoga he espouses is becoming, like the polar bear, something of an endangered species. "

As someone who studies at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram every year, I can tell you that I have more than few astangis who studied with Jois who came to the Mandiram to heal their bodies. Some told me that the yoga that is practiced at the Mandiram was like a lightbulb going off over their head.

I don't believe that "his yoga" will become an endangered species. You would really have to go to the Mandiram to practice it and understand it. It's not "old lady's yoga" as some people think (and as I've I heard it described.) After my first intensive in 2005, my practice and my teaching changed forever.
