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: March at VIRAYOGA |
||||
| virayogis, your quality of breathing, listening,
sitting and communicating are all inextricably linked with the
pivotal first principle of Anusara Yoga: Open To Grace.
soften your awareness and
open to the bigger picture- to the reasons why we practice and teach,
create and relate: to enhance and engage life.
breathe to increase your sensitivity
to the energy, the vibration inside you, around you, emanating from you. make space within yourself to see yourself.
observe yourself from a slightly different vantage point, discern the quality of energy you're inviting, cultivating and sharing. look and listen first. then communicate within yourself and with others
softly, steadily, slowly, authentically. use your eyes more than your hands. use your words exceedingly, increasingly carefully.
open and soften before you begin speaking or gesturing. for the next several weeks, contemplate what grace means to you as a student, as a teacher, a creator, a professional, a member of your family, a lover, a friend. so pay attention:
grace is in everysinglething AS everysinglething.
with respect and gratitude,
e, lynn and the staff of VIRAYOGA
