Anusara School of Hatha Yoga

Anusara School of Hatha Yoga is a modern style of yoga founded by John Friend in 1997, emphasizing a heart-centered approach that aligns with the principles of alignment and flow. It blends the traditional elements of yoga with a focus on mindfulness, personal expression, and community. Anusara yoga promotes the idea of connecting with one's inner self and the world through a series of specific postures (asanas), breath work (pranayama), and philosophy. Practitioners are encouraged to cultivate grace and compassion both on and off the mat, fostering a deeper sense of well-being and awareness.
