Class Descriptions

Anusara (a-nu-sar-a), means “flowing with Grace,” “flowing with Nature,” and in its essence, “following your heart.” This system of hatha yoga practice was founded by John Friend in 1997, and is one of the fastest growing yoga systems in the world. It combines active bodywork, consistent breathwork and a strong focus of the mind to lead each student towards optimal expression of their own creative heart. Using Universal Principles of alignment and action, students are safely challenged in a supportive atmosphere of like-minded seekers. This highly therapeutic practice can prevent and bring relief to many injuries and illnesses caused by misalignment.
