Okay, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Please let me welcome you. Thank you for listening. If you're returning, how is your week?

I'm curious, how much time did you spend on Facebook this week? You see, I had this thing happen

where I jumped on Facebook and I was clicking around and I came across this video of John Friend.

I don't know if you saw this, but I haven't heard anything of John Friend in years.

I mean, there's been like rumors that he's still

teaching, but I don't know anybody who's taking class with him, or I don't know. I just haven't

heard anything from him directly in any kind of public way, like no posts on Facebook for sure.

But here is this video.

And it starts out this moment where he takes his big breath,

like he's going to admit to something.

And I was like, what's this?

He goes on to basically say,

I'm John Friend.

I'm the guy who created the universal principles of alignment from Anyasara,

and I don't believe in them anymore. There's new science, and we're not lines.

And I know there's a lot of teachers out there who still teach universal principles of alignment from Anya Sara, you know.

So I thought, hey, this is kind of significant, isn't it?

This is interesting.

So I hit share, I wrote, interesting, period, and I posted it.

And I kind of like didn't think about the possibility that I might set off any kind of firestorm or any

kind of tumult but people got pissed man they were saying j you have a platform people listen to what you

say abusers don't get the spotlight and it just You have a platform, people listen to what you say.
