About Anusara:
Anusara Yoga is a newly emerging paradigm of Hatha Yoga in which the art of
the human spirit powerfully blends with the science of biomechanics. It is
an exceptional yoga system that integrates the celebration of the heart,
universal principles of alignment and balanced energetic action in the
performance of asana. Deeply transformative, spiritually uplifting,
powerfully integrative, Anusara offers a new approach to Yoga where science,
awareness, energy and intention all blend within the light of the heart.
Anusara means "Flowing with Grace, going with the flow, following your
heart". The essential premise of Anusara is that Everything is Supreme
Consciousness, there is nothing that exists that is not of the nature of the
Supreme. The vision of Anusara is a vision of Totality in which each person
is seen as equally Divine in Every part, body, mind and spirit. Each of us
is regarded as essentially Good. In this way, the Hatha Yoga practice is
seen as an opportunity to awaken to our Divine Birthright and the Truth that
our essential nature is part of this Divine Flow. We awaken in order to
lovingly and joyfully serve this flow.
The Hatha Yoga practice of Anusara is joyful, it is celebratory, and most of
all, it is downright FUN! We come together in community to celebrate our
inherent goodness, our inherent worthiness and to participate in a great
ritual of awakening! We practice looking for the good in ourselves, in
others and in the world around us. Our limitations are honored and
recognized as even part of the Supreme. Every moment provides an
opportunity to awaken, and we share these moments in the Sangham, the
community of like-minded friends.
As a nationally Registered Yoga School, Anusara offers a teaching
certification program that meets the national standards for yoga teachers as
set by the Yoga Alliance. The Anahata Yoga Center, as a Center for
Anusara Yoga participates in offering teaching programs that will prepare
candidates for certification in Anusara, and welcomes students who simply
want to learn in an in-depth study program. Anusara Yoga is set up to allow
for growth and change within the organization. It has a three tiered
certification program for candidates interested in becoming teachers of
Anusara Yoga beginning with affiliation, moving toward certification, and
ultimately to teacher trainer status. For information on the requirements
for these levels, please visit the main Anusara website at:

Anusara Yoga, as an independent system of Hatha Yoga took birth on August
15, 1997. Its Originator, John Friend, is widely known for his unique,
inspiring and fun approach. John's teaching style is so effective because
he blends a profound knowledge of the body with his ability to see goodness
in everyone he meets. He brings out the best in all his students, and he
does this with tremendous humor and good will. Travelling throughout the
United States, John shares himself generously with everyone he meets.
