Fun classes with a therapeutic approach.
Anusara Yoga is a heart-centered practice that blends the physical postures of Hatha Yoga with deep spiritual teachings and precise principles of alignment. It’s a beautiful combination of asanas, alignment techniques, and practices of self-inquiry and meditation, all designed to support your journey of growth and self-discovery.
At the core of Anusara Yoga is the belief that life, with all its ups and downs, is something to embrace fully—what I like to call the roller coaster of life. Instead of running from challenges, we learn to face them with openness, compassion, and strength. This practice encourages us to bring the teachings off the mat and into our daily lives, allowing us to navigate life with more awareness and grace.
Anusara is rooted in the ancient, non-dual Tantra philosophy, providing a solid foundation for those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
At its heart, Anusara is a community—a Kula—of like-minded students and teachers who share a deep, supportive connection to the true essence of yoga. The practice gently encourages us to open our hearts, creating a space where body, mind, and spirit can come together in harmony
Why Anusara?
Anusara Yoga is an alignment based yoga. It promotes creative freedom and individuality while teaching within a precise methodology called the Universal Principles of Alignment™. These alignment principles bring attention to the physical body. Students learn how to properly align the body as well as develop strength, vitality and a clearer understanding of how the body works in order to master life’s challenges.
Anusara Yoga also inspires through life-affirming themes. As a teacher we weave an inspirational heart theme into each class, helping students to connect the physical practice with a deep feeling of self-inquiry. Themes are often rooted in deep spiritual principles that are expressed throughout each class, making the practice both a joyful and an inspirational experience.
What to expect in a class?
Each class utilizes a heart theme and supportive physical alignment that accentuates its expression through the poses. This makes the classes fluid, safe and fun.
Classes begin with an introduction of the heart theme for the class and a centering alignment that often includes chanting of “OM” and/or the Anusara Invocation. Then we begin to warm-up and then progressive into a sequences of poses. Classes take the students deep into the feeling sensations of each pose and sequence, so as to integrate body-mind with heart and spirit. Once a peak pose is reached the class winds down into an extended rest period and meditation. Students leave class refreshed, challenged and inspired.
