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: October at VIRAYOGA |
||||
| your breath is your access to your heart.
what does that mean?
instead of exhausting emotional reactions or unnecessary intellectual distractions, in any moment or interaction,
LISTEN and BREATHE. only your breathing can bring you to the quiet of your heart; which is the clarity of your intuition.
instead of rushing, reacting, explaining, excusing, trying and theorizing, PAUSE and breathe. over and over again. your entire experience of whatever you're doing will
s l o w d o w n, you will accept more of yourself and others; you will become more able to respond efficaciously, economically, as you choose, in a pose or in any aspect of your experience.
blessings and gratitude~ elena, lynn and the staff of virayoga
