The Ashtangis are the athletes,
the Iyengars are the engineers,
the Kundalini are the priests,
the Anusara are the psychologists,
the Jivamukti are the activists
can anyone think of any more?
I guess I think of the vinyasa flow as the artists as well. Can't think of something for Viniyoga, caretakers maybe?

I still have to graduate! They all sound fabulous.0

Well - my two yoga teachers were both Anusara teachers until recently, but they were both a balanced blend of athelete and engineer with a dash of psychologist/priest.
They both teach inversions, which is great.0 -
Is it weird that after YEARS of yoga, I still feel like a beginner?0

I began as an engineer and then became An athlete and then a priest and now I am an eclectic mix but mainly a Scaravelli / Esther Myers trained wave rider!0

Not weird at all. I feel the same.0 -
I think of myself as an Ashtangi though rarely think of myself as an athlete.0

Jivamukti to the core... vegetarian for 16 years now vegan for 0.5 years. Reconnecting with the activist I was at uni0

Never heard of Jivamukti - they can't be very activ-ist! (sorry - no offence intended, going to Google to educate myself)
edit: I've just had a quick read on Wikipedia - sounds like what I'm already doing through my teachers at present.0 -
Yin are the philosophers?
I think I'm an Ashtangi but will forever be a student!
Wow so many styles & schools to learn still....0 -
I'm the well rounded, healthy, eat like a predator, beautiful kind who doesn't believe in labels for something that leads everyone down the same path.0

I think Vinyasies (hehe) are a mix of artist and athlete... But in truth, I see a little bit of all of those in my own practice.0

my original post was meant to be a joke, it was something I read on the internets and thought was funny - I added the Anusara and the Jivamukti0
-
I thought it was cute!0

Def a priestess...so funny, 'cause my house is glass:)0

I took the quiz. It said I was jivamukti.
So disappointed.
I so wanted to be a priest.
Hurrmph.0 -
