About Anusara Yoga

Anusara (A-nu-sar-a) means ”flowing with Grace”, “going with the flow”, following your heart.

Anusara Yoga is a highly effective and therapeutic form of Hatha Yoga. John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga in 1997, through devout study realized that the body and life are to be celebrated. He created specific “Universal principles of Alignment” to relieve the body from any pain and suffering and create an ease, strength and mobility in the muscles and joints. This precision woven with Tantric philosophy reveals levels of understanding of the inherent goodness and joy filled living that arise from the human experience. The Universal principles of alignment created in Anusara yoga are just that, Universal. They are for everybody in every asana. Supporting each body posture and alignment no matter size, shape or modification.

The yoga unveils our ability see more deeply into our own innate good. When we realize our goodness, we celebrate and dance in the spirit of the divine. The divine that holds us as being human, that allows us to experience, integrate and celebrate. Anusara yoga honor’s diversity and difference as we walk our individual path and deepen our own understanding of desire, behavior and knowledge. The Anusara kula is a community of like minds and hearts. A community that is global. At present, Anusara Yoga is one of the fastest growing styles of yoga with 1200 affiliated teachers and 100,000 students world wide. Anusara yoga classes are being taught all over the world, including Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, Australia and Asia. See www.Anusara.com for more information.
