April 1, 2012 | I am not commercialising Ashtanga yoga, says Oz model |
Melbourne:Sonia Tudor Jones, a Sydney-born former Australian model, has revealed that she is unashamed about wanting to bring
ultra-intense Ashtanga yoga to the masses and is rejecting claims that she is turning the discipline into an overly-commercialised form of “McYoga”. The New-York
based mother of four has joined forces with the family of late Ashtanga-yoga master
Krishna Pattabhi Jois to create emerging powerhouse Jois Yoga, with a branch in
Sydney , run by her sister Michelle Bennett. According to The Sunday Telegraph,
Jones was proud to spread the Jois Yoga message. She even rejected claims in US
magazine Vanity Fair she was at the centre of a “war” within yoga circles over
teachings and purpose. “There is never a war unless people are fighting and there
is no fight in Ashtanga Yoga,” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying. In her
bid to spread the word, she launched a chain of Jois Yoga studios and high-price
yoga accessories boutiques - including one in Bondi - using her hedge-fund billionaire
husband's wealth and her own passion for “inner peace”.
