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: November at VIRAYOGA |
||||
|
your breath is your freedom.
to find out why, try this:
next time you're presented with a situation or an interaction that is daunting,
allow your breath to take precedence
over your assumptions, projections, words or actions.
literally, BREATHE
before making any choice about what to think,
how to respond or what to do next.
in this way, you are using your breath to
make s p a c e in your experience instead of adding yet more content. this practice of taking pause,
both in your yoga class and in your life, dispels unnecessary negativity, activity;
and creates the only context for equanimity. blessings and gratitude~
