What is 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
school of hatha yoga which unifies a life-affirming Tantric philosophy of
intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. Anusara yoga is
growing quickly all over the world with over 250 certified teachers, 750
licensed Anusara-Inspired yoga teachers, thousands of teachers in training,
and hundreds of thousands of students world-wide. Anusara yoga now has a
presence on every continent throughout the world, excluding Antarctica.
