Anusara Yoga,
founded by John Friend, is a unique approach to hatha yoga where the spirit of the HEART powerfully blends with the precision of biomechanical ALIGNMENT and balanced energetic ACTION in the performance of asanas (yoga postures). 
 
The word "anusara" originates from a line in the Tantric text called the Kularnava Tantra, "shaktipata-anusarena shishyonugraham arhati", which means: by entering the current of Divine Shakti's descent into the heart, the true disciple becomes capable of receiving grace. Anusara literally means to be in the flow. It is the current of the Divine, to flow with Grace. The philosophical basis of Anusara, as elucidated by Dr. Douglas Brooks, is called Rajanaka Yoga.
 


Anusara Yoga for New York City:
April at VIRAYOGA

 
last month you were invited to open to grace,
expand your awareness, increase your sensitivity,
through your breath.

let's simplify it even further: 
your own breath
is your own greatest teacher.
 
both during and outside of your practice,
your breath will show you
what is actually happening
more accurately than any teacher can;
so
listen
&watch.

in any situation,
whenever you need to make space,
put your attention
on your breath
before doing anything else.
    
with gratitude and great respect.
