The downside of yoga for me was losing my athiest wife to a yoga "community" with a guru that practices all sorts of new age mumbo jumbo mixed with Hindu spiritual practices. You can read my story here: My concern now is keeping my child out of their yoga class which includes locking the room, no parents allowed, breathing exercises (animal noises), meditation with music and chantin

Thank you kdag for your comments. I was not aware of what "new age" really was until all of this happened. I was surely not aware that this yoga group practiced so much of it, as they do not advertise any of it. Sure I heard the term "new age" before, but I did not really know what it was all about. After doing a lot of research, in my mind most of it is total bs. I am an

So the final chapter is, I no longer have a consent order of protection against me, so I can talk. I'm divorced to a yoga convert. She lost all of her friends. But she has a new circle of friends in Yoga. As well, I believe she is borderline personality disorder. I had to fight a corrupt system to gain almost 50/50 custody of my child. It was not easy. I will spare details, as that is anoth

I wanted to add Kavin Chambers to the list of cockroaches at x-bility.com along with Jo Rossi in St. Louis. Evidently they are still in business trying to dupe people out of their money with their sick mind games and cult like setting. If anybody is reading this and thinking about joining them, RUN. Definitely don't go back for the free level 1 course. That is how they suck you back in. Than

Update. James House of Wellness has spiritual classes with Dandapani. A Hindu Monk who studied under Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva) at Kauai's Hindu Monastery I can't find much on this site or the web, but stumbled upon this amazon review. The tree just keeps growing. I fear it is too late to save my soon to be ex wife. She has been hypnotized and meditated so muc

So my wife has been taking our daughter to this Jane's House of Wellness. Their kids class is an hour and a half long. Parents are not allowed. My daughter tells me they lock the door and nobody can leave or enter (control). This sounds against the law somehow. They are having her do poses of "animals" and they have them make animal noises. (breathing exercises). They listen to mus

I am going to keep updating this post in hope that it helps someone else. This yoga studio is into all kinds of Hindu spiritual stuff including breathing exercises, Asurana yoga, Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga, and their "own" yoga, dynamic yoga method. They are also linked to Peter Goodman , who is linked to John Friend. . , who once again shows up on this site and is involved in one

Ok, update. Holly Krepps lists Living School of Action and Contemplation on her studies. It used to point to here: Richard Rohrs. Another name that shows up here. Now it points to here: Some black guy giving me the finger? lol. I guess they are on to me. I also forgot to mention they have a house on Mt. Zion loop in Arkansas, which is a street that surrounds Mt. Zion Church in M

A couple of years ago I almost lost my with to a Pheonix LGAT. Luckily with the help of this site and persistence I was able to get her out. I think it has happened again. Maybe you all can help. My wife has always been interested in Yoga and did some classes here and there and it was never a problem. Until I started doing some research on this a few days ago, I never dreamed this was going on

Thanks corboy, They actually sent an email before hand telling my wife to wear layers as there would be temperature changes. I would like to present more info about the "Graduation" and what happened after, as I attended this with my daughter and I have a first hand account. First off, I was a little worried because the little info my wife would tell me was that they shared a

Phoenix Arises Seminars was taken over by Jo Rossi and is now called x-bility.com I wish I would have found this forum BEFORE my wife took one of these courses. Luckily I saw through the BS, researched the company and members, found this page, and got her the F out of there! Beware if you are in St. Louis MO. This LGAT company is a rehashed version of Lifespring. The above experience is almost ex
