Paulette is teaching Anusara style, which is one of the modern schools of Yoga. I believe it was created by the American teacher of Iyengar Yoga style in 1997. That answers my question why I have not heard about it. I was introduced to Yoga in 1983. So at the same time when Anusara was becoming popular, I already pretty much found my style, and by the year 2000, I had reduced my Yoga practice to some basic asanas in favor of Martial Art, Qigong and couple of other Taoist practices.
But I still love Yoga, and I think of it as one of the greatest systems that have ever existed on the Earth. I love to learn new things, and I was blessed to meet people like Paulette.
Here’re several points that I took for myself from the conversation with Paulette. You may hear something different, something you need to hear.
Anusara is concentrating on Goodness and on building community. That resonated with my goals and mission. This is what I am trying to do with my Healthy Positive Lifestyle Network, which is bringing practitioners and community together, and building healthy positive community. That’s the reason I am switching to a non-profit organization.
Another thing that Paulette said and it resonated with me, was that yoga gives us foundational principles about how to live, how to go through life. I remember I read a lot of different scientific articles about how to eat correctly. But quite early in my practice I began comparing all those articles with principles of Yoga. Basically every nutrition system in my mind was going through the evaluation “What Would Yoga Say About It”. And I was trying to find answers based on that.
Listen to Paulette. This short interview will not answer all of your questions. But it will give you an idea whom you can ask if you have those questions, or if you need a teacher or a coach. Paulette is a great teacher, and she is explaining really well!
