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

Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a powerful hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment™.

Anusara Yoga supports a life-affirming vision that sets the basis for a yoga system in which the harmony and joy of a tightly knit community is exulted. Not only is Anusara Yoga an elegant system of alignment principles and non-dual philosophy, but it is also a wonderful community of highly trained teachers and fun-loving students.

In Anusara there is a strong emphasis on creative freedom and individuality. Anusara Yoga is held together by everyone’s implicit alliance to the spiritual principles of Anusara philosophy, such as celebrating beauty in all its diversity, truthfulness, and honoring the creative freedom of the Divine in all beings. Everyone is aligned with the truth that Grace plays the key role in the successful flow of their practice, classes, and the community itself. Ultimately Anusara Yoga teachers help to unveil the innate goodness, worthiness, and supreme nature of each student and every being.
