anusara yoga
Anusara® Yoga is a hatha yoga style, that grew from Iyengar Yoga's brilliant, precise alignment method. Anusara focuses on alignment in a more qualitative and energetic way, that is flowing and opening, and honors the divine within each student. Its approach is serious but fun, aligning you with grace within and in the world. People smile and laugh through this practice, which is part of what makes it so enjoyable! When you learn the Universal Principles of Alignment, you use them so in each posture your neck, back and every part of your body is protected. Then, your energy really opens up, and all the poses feel comfortable and playful. Anusara Yoga is growing more quickly than of any type of yoga in the world. The principles are beautiful. Cristin's practice includes Anusara, so the alignment principles strongly influence her teaching.

more about anusara yoga
a powerful, therapeutic hatha yoga system of joyful heart opening and strong principles of alignment
Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is currently one of the most popular and fastest growing yoga styles in the world with over 1200 affiliated teachers and 100,000 students world-wide. Classes are offered through the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Japan with a growing presence and media coverage in many other areas of the world.
Anusara Yoga's remarkable popularity is due in large part to its uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," that looks for the good in all people and all things. Anusara (a-new-SAR-a) means "flowing with Grace," "going with the flow," or "following your heart." Anusara yoga is a uniquely integrated style of hatha yoga, that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. Grounded in the Foundational principles of Attitude, Alignment and Action (your expression of a pose), equal emphas is on inner body awareness and outer form, strength and flexibility. The spirit of one's Heart - one's highest intention - is celebrated through a physically precise and challenging asana practice. 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, including a wonderful community of highly trained teachers and fun-loving students. This community feels like it has the tightness of a family, yet the looseness of a merry band of bohemian artists. The community is well networked and organized, yet 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 Yoga 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. Anusara Yoga grows with harmony and integrity through the combined vision of our Anusara Yoga teachers to unveil the innate goodness, worthiness, and supreme nature of each student and every being.
