Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a powerfully transformative
hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. Anusara Yoga’s uplifting philosophy is epitomized by a “celebration of the heart,” that looks for the good in all people and all things. Consequently, students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents.
This life-affirming vision 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 funloving students. This community feels like it has the tightness of a family, yet the looseness of a merry band of bohemian artists.
Anusara takes its name from a verse in the great text, the Kularnava Tantra. It reads in Sanskrit, "Shakti-nipata-anusarena sishyo'anugraham-arhati". This means, by stepping into the current of Divine Shakti's descent into the heart, the true seeker becomes capable of receiving the Divine Grace that nourishes every action.
