I follow a different spiritual path than that of Ananda [or no path at all]. Does that make a difference in whether or not I should attend AYTT?
Not at all. We sincerely respect all spiritual paths, and we welcome anyone who gives that same respect to our tradition, whatever his or her path may be. Of course, you should realize that AYTT takes place in the context of Ananda’s spiritual tradition, and with the classical approach of yoga as a tool for the Divine Quest. Participation therefore involves practicing yoga techniques associated with Ananda’s tradition, such as meditation and chanting as well as asana and pranayama.
