As a seriously playful student of yoga since 1973, John Friend is now one of the most charismatic and respected hatha yoga teachers in the country. With a deep longing to know the mysteries of life, John began a regular practice of hatha yoga and meditation at age 13, including study of quintessential Indian scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita and the principal Upanishads. This inner fire to know the Truth also led him to subsequent study of esoteric subjects such as Theosophy, Wicca, Freemasonry, parapsychology, and quantum physics.
John began teaching hatha yoga in 1980 in Houston, Texas. Soon after graduating from Texas A & M University in 1983 with BBA in Finance and Accounting, John began his full-time career as a hatha yoga instructor. Continuing to study with a wide variety of yoga teachers throughout the 80’s, he met his spiritual teacher Gurumayi Chidvilasananda in India in 1989. In the early '90’s, John began teaching popular yoga seminars throughout the US as he became renowned for his deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and biomechanics, his hilarious sense of humor, and his open-hearted approach.
In 1997 John founded Anusara Yoga, now one of the fastest growing styles of hatha yoga in the world. Anusara Yoga is uniquely transformational in its integration of Universal Principles of Alignment with a life-affirming, heart-oriented Tantric philosophy. Today John lives in The Woodlands, Texas and travels extensively throughout the world spreading the magic of Anusara Yoga.
