What is Anusara Yoga:
Anusara (a-nu-sar-a) means 'flowing with Grace', 'going with the
flow', 'following your heart'.
Anusara is heart oriented, inspiring and yet grounded in Universal
Principles of Alignment for both inner and outer body. It is a unique,
therapeutic style of Hatha Yoga in which the artistic expression of the
human heart blends magically with the scientific principles of
biomechanics. Anusara was founded and created by John Friend.
Anusara takes its name from a verse in the great text, the Kularnava
Tantra. It reads in Sanskrit, "Shakti-nipata-anusarena
sishyo'anugraham-arhati". This means, by stepping into the current of
Divine Grace's descent into the heart, the true seeker becomes worthy,
enveloped in the Grace that sustains and nurtures his or her every
action.
"Flowing with Grace, anusarena, we experience our inner worth, we
align our bodies, our minds and hearts in the current of the Divine
flowing through us, we celebrate life itself as we touch the Divinity
who pulsates within us as our every thought, feeling, and experience."
~~Dr. Douglas Brooks

I bow to the goodness within myself, known as Lord Shiva, who is the true teacher.
This essence inside takes the form of truth, consciousness, and bliss
Always present and full of peace,
this essence inside is completely free, and sparkles with a divine luster. |
