Dear Anusara Yoga Community,

Thank you for your support throughout these past weeks. Much has been uncertain up until recently, therefore it would not have been responsible to report the happenings only for them to change again soon after. However, there is now more concrete news to share.

The Anusara staff is still in operation. It now consists of and is being managed by the following team of 3 people: Wendy Willtrout (Operations), Eileen Bivens (Accounting), Donna Thomas (Administration). They are doing their best to answer calls and emails as quickly as possible and move forward positively.

Thus far, Anusara, Inc. has been working cooperatively with the Steering Committee to form a Leadership Committee, whose purpose was originally to create three other committees: Certification/Licensing, Ethics, and Curriculum, and address other community-wide issues. These committees were to operate under Anusara, Inc. independently of John Friend as he is no longer in any type of managerial or leadership position with the company.

Now, the Leadership Committee will be guiding the hopeful transition and establishment of a new school with the help of the Anusara, Inc staff. This new School of Anusara Yoga will be independent in ownership and management of Anusara, Inc. and its purpose will be to serve the teaching community in the highest way.

The Leadership Committee is comprised of the following members:

• Sumei Shum (representing Asia)
• Julie Smerdon (representing Australia)
• Jayendra Hanley and Barbra Noh (representing Europe)
• Kathy Simonik, Roger Pressman, Susana Crespo, Abby Tucker, BJ Galvan, AJ MacIntyre (representing the Americas)
• Ellen Saltonstall, Jim Bernaert, and Ross Rayburn will also continue from the steering committee for now in order to facilitate the transition.

In the interim, while the Leadership Committee is organizing and creating the potential structure of the new school, the Anusara staff will be supporting the continuation of an active Anusara yoga school. The office is working diligently to move forward those teachers currently in different stages of the licensing process.

We are now progressing with processing applications, exams, and videos. Since John has previously been the one to approve every application and award Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher status, the remaining certified Anusara yoga teachers on the previous Certification Committee (in the interim of a more permanent system) will hold this role to continue forward movement for these teachers who have been waiting.

Those who have submitted videos for certification and have assessors who are still licensed will be contacted to continue the process. Those who have submitted videos for certification and have assessors who have resigned will be assigned a new assessor. We are working on the possibilities of other positive changes in order to further streamline the process. Once this has been worked through, I will post more information about the process of exam review and certifying teachers.

If you are a certified Anusara yoga teacher and would like to help during this interim time with the assessment of applications and videos, please contact Wendy at teachersupport@anusara.com to be considered.

All certified Anusara yoga teachers and Anusara-Inspired yoga teachers, will soon receive a letter, which will address and explain in more detail our thoughts surrounding annual dues and a license agreement for 2012.

Should any questions arise, please don’t hesitate to call the office (for a faster response than email) on our toll-free line: 1-888-398-9642 or local line: 1-281-367-9763.

Thank you again for your continued patience. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Blessings,
The Staff of Anusara, Inc.
