Founded
by American John Friend, in the '90's, Anusara Yoga is a system
of hatha yoga , made up of more than 265 poses, that is heart
oriented,spiritually inspiring and firmly grounded in principals
of alignment for both the inner and outer body. Anusara translates
as flowing with grace, flowing from the heart, to be in the flow.
The highest
intention of Anusara Yoga is to align with the divine, and to
recognise that we are part of the divine, and to joyfully serve
this connection with the divine.
Anusara yoga
is a system that unites the universal principals of alignment
in the body with a non dual Tantric philosophy that is epitomised
by a 'celebration of the heart'.
We work with
the idea that each of us is essentially good, so there is a lot
of acceptance and allowance for difference and deviation. We look
for the good in things, especially in ourselves and in our students.
So when we as teachers adjust a student in a yoga pose, it is
not to say that you are wrong, but just that we are showing you
how to open up and reveal even more of yourself and the beauty
that is already in your pose, which is your work of art. Everybody's
pose is different, no 2 will look the same.
Your
pose is an expression of your true spirit.
There is an
emphasis on remembering the spiritual purpose of hatha yoga, which
includes reconnecting with our innate goodness, power and beauty
and expressing ourselves from that divine place. The poses are
expressed from the inside out.
Every Anusara
class has a heart oriented theme given to you
by your teacher which will help you to connect with the flow of
grace, and understand how to open and reveal more in the physical
body and in the spirit, opening up to say yes to life! Each class
should leave you feeling good about yourself, and empowered and
part of something much bigger!
The classes
are all very community oriented, non-competitive and nurturing.
The Anusara community is made up of highly trained teachers and
fun loving students. Meditation, breath work, chanting, postures,
fun and frolicking fill the class time allowing you to reveal
your true self and express the power and the joy of your spirit.
Anusara
Yoga is now the fastest growing style of yoga in America!
