About Anusara Yoga

Anusara Yoga is currently one of the most popular and fastest growing yoga styles in the world. Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga powerfully blends the art of the human spirit with the science of biomechanical alignment. Its remarkable popularity is due in large part to its uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," that looks for the good in all people and all things. Anusara teachers are highly trained in the elegant Universal Principles of Alignment which provide the most safe, effective and cutting edge approach to the ancient tradition of yoga.
