About Anusara
Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a school of hatha yoga which weaves an inspiring life-affirming philosophy with the Universal Principles of Alignment. The principles are transformational tools for the body-mind that when applied, restore healthy balance to the body and heart in a profoundly therapeutic and deeply strengthening manner.
Anusara Yoga is a healthful practice to so many students around the world due to its uplifting philosophy and roots in a tradition that celebrates the body, heart and mind as forms of Supreme Consciousness. The teachings embrace that the Divine has become our innermost self, chosen to take our form in order to experience the gift of embodiment. This gift is our very selves in all of its forms—the light and the dark, the full spectrum of sensation, perception, experience, thought and emotion. Anusara’s philosophy says “Yes” to Life in the way of radical acceptance, and affirms for the practitioner that Life is a gift.
The word ‘anusara’ is Sanskrit for “be in the current, or flow”, and takes its name from a line in a Tantric text called the Kularnava Tantra, the “Ocean of the Heart” tantra.
shaktinipata anusarena shish’yo anugraharhati
Translated here by Douglas Brooks, the text means, “by stepping into the current of Grace, the true seeker becomes able to experience the very Grace that sustains and nurtures his or her every action.”
This unique system of yoga aims to empower the practitioner physically, mentally and spiritually in the deepest ways of creative freedom and self expression. The Anusara community, or ‘kula’, is connected through these ideas, and supports all students to recognize their inherent gifts and individuality, and serve life fully from there.
