Anusara is a Sanskrit word which means "flowing with Grace," "going with the flow," and "following your heart".
Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga unifies a philosophy of Intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. Anusara'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 things. This "yoga from the inside out" begins with the intention to open one's heart and allow Grace to flow in. Consequently, students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations and talents. Cultivating the virtues of the heart on the mat helps us meet the challenges we encounter off the mat with an open heart.
The fusion of heart and body distinguishes Anusara Yoga from all other styles, and explains why Anusara is one of the most popular and fastest growing yoga styles in the world.
