Musings of a Marketing Maven

I just had my first quin­tes­sen­tial Twit­ter expe­ri­ence, after sev­eral lack­lus­ter months of exper­i­men­ta­tion. Within 2 hours of pos­ing a ques­tion on Twit­ter, I had a great answer from the sin­gle most rep­utable source in the world.

My ques­tion was, “Who are the Anusara yoga teach­ers on Cape Cod?” The per­son who responded to my query, John Friend, is the founder of the Anusara tra­di­tion, and cur­rently the world­wide leader of this style of yoga practice.

Nor­mally I take yoga classes with some won­der­ful teach­ers in Seat­tle; how­ever, this sum­mer I’ll be on Cape Cod sev­eral times for 10 days or more each stay. I’d like to find some local instruc­tors there to keep my asanas going, and retain the align­ment principles.

Cape Cod is 3000 miles from here, so I don’t know who is cer­ti­fied as a qual­i­fied Anusara yoga instruc­tor within reach of my base there. (And yoga prac­ti­tion­ers tend to pay atten­tion to the tra­di­tion or phi­los­o­phy that is embraced by yoga teach­ers, so this mat­ters.) I did a direc­tory search, but there was no infor­ma­tion about the teach­ers other than their most basic con­tact infor­ma­tion and location.

So get­ting such a quick and highly informed response from John Friend was WAY more than I’d hoped when I posed my ques­tion on Twit­ter this morning.

Bless­ings to John Friend, and thanks to Twitter.
