The American Yoga Alliance is a cult organization.

This article is translated from the website founded by Dr. Rick Ross, a famous American sect expert. Dr Rick Ross is an internationally renowned expert on religious studies. In 2009 1 month, at the invitation of China Academy of Social Sciences, Dr. Rick Ross attended the "International Forum on Worship Group Research" hosted by the Research Center for Cult Issues of China Academy of Social Sciences in Shenzhen, China, and gave a keynote speech. At this forum, experts and scholars from universities, scientific research institutions and religious groups in Britain, France, the United States, Australia, Russian Federation, Ukraine and China conducted extensive and in-depth discussions on the theme of "the harm of cults and social governance".

Yoga gymnasiums and training institutions in China, as well as the yoga instructors they trained, are widely criticized for causing a lot of harm to yoga practitioners, so some people think that Yuezi is still a foreign circle, and yoga training abroad is very standardized. Many yoga studios and yoga training and promotion institutions in China have cooperative relations with the American Yoga Alliance and do yoga instructor training under the signboard of the American Yoga Alliance.

The first choice for a full moon abroad is the YogaAlliance in the United States. Many people, including many yoga practitioners, are talking about how the courses of the American Yoga Alliance are standardized, scientific and reasonable. Is that really the case?

The following is from Dr. Rick Ross's website:

The Relationship between Yoga Alliance and Cults

Yoga has become a popular fitness method, and has become an extremely popular craze in recent years.

Many westerners are fascinated by this sport and expect yoga to help them lose weight and prevent rebound. Some people also think that yoga can bring inner peace and tranquility.

A large number of yoga studios have been opened, and yoga studios can be found almost everywhere from metropolises to larger towns.

But how can a promising student find a famous yoga studio and excellent teachers?

Most of them seem to be recommended by friends, but there are some registered teachers and school organizations.

Such an organization is called "YogaAlliance" and its address is Reading, Pennsylvania, USA. Just an organization founded in 1999.

However, the background of some members of the board of directors of the Yoga Alliance is quite worrying. Nearly half of the board members have participated in cult groups before and now, and some schools registered in the Yoga Association are also related to cults.

For example, the league's list includes the 3HO Dojo in Espanola, New Mexico, the IntegralYoga Center in Richmond, Virginia and AnandaYoga in Nevada, California.

These three groups have no commendable origins and are often called "cults".

Careful observation of the resumes of members of the board of directors of the Yoga Association will reveal some interesting connections.

Kartar SinghKhalsa, deputy director of the Teachers' Outreach Department, is a disciple of (founder of modern Kundalini Yoga, founder of 3HO).

AnandaMarga Group nominated StevenLandau as the Chairman of the Communication Committee of Yoga Alliance for the first time.

Carol AStefanelli, who is in charge of the network committee of this yoga alliance, studied under Swamimuktananda (founder of Siddhartha).

Mary LynnTucker and Swamisatchidananda, co-chairs of the Outreach Committee, study yoga and live near the practice area. The religious teacher creatively named this place "Yoga Village".

RichMcCord, Chairman of the Standards Committee of Yoga Association, actually teaches in Ananda's self-realization Sect, which has been listed as a "cult" by the court.

J·Donald Vortel, the founder of Ananda Sect, was convicted of sexually assaulting the plaintiff and fined an astonishing millions of dollars.

Interestingly, in the past, the "face-to-face" meeting of the Yoga Alliance was actually held in AnandaVillage, California.

Isn't this a bit like "the fox guarding the henhouse"?

Anyone who wants to practice yoga should be alert to the teachers and schools registered by the Yoga Alliance before starting to practice.

The yoga alliance has a "cult" connection.

In recent years, yoga has become a popular way of exercise and a fashion.

Many westerners are fascinated by this kind of practice, hoping that yoga can help them lose weight and become strong. Some people say that this may also lead to inner peace and tranquility.

From big cities to big cities, many yoga studios have been opened almost everywhere.

But how can a promising student find a well-known studio with good teachers?

Most seem to rely on verbal recommendations from friends, but some organizations register schools and teachers.

One such group is called Yoga Alliance (YA), and its email address is in Reading, Pennsylvania. YA was formally established in 1999 a few years ago.

But the background history of some YA board members is quite shocking. It seems that nearly half of the people have been involved in organizations called "cults", and some schools registered in YA are related to "cults".

For example, the alliance includes 3HOashram in Espanola, New Mexico, the Comprehensive Yoga Center in Richmond, Virginia, and Ananda Yoga in Nevada, California in its school list.

All three organizations have a disgraceful history, and they are often called "cults".

Take a closer look at the resumes of board members, and you will find some interesting connections.

Karta Singh Calca is the co-head of the teacher development organization, and he is a disciple of yogi bear, the founder of 3HO.

Ananda Maga Group first initiated Steven Landau, Chairman of Asia Communication Committee.

Carol A. Stefanelli, the head of the organization's network committee, studied under Swami Muktananda, the founder of Siddhartha.

Mary Lynn Tucker, the co-chairman of the Outreach Committee, studied yoga under Swami Sachdanada, who lives near the Dojo named "Yoga Village" founded by Guru.

Rich McCord is the chairman of the YA Key Standards Committee. He actually teaches in the self-fulfilling Ananda Church, which is called a "cult" in court.

The founder of Ananda, J. Donald Walters, was convicted of sexual misconduct, and the plaintiff received a shocking multi-million dollar sentence.

Interestingly, the last "face-to-face" meeting of the board of directors was actually held in the so-called "Ananda Village" in California.

Isn't this a bit like "the fox guarding the henhouse"?

Anyone considering taking yoga classes with teachers and/or schools registered with the Yoga Alliance may want to be cautious before starting any of their exercises.
