Spotlight on Anusara Yoga

Anusara is now one of the fastest-growing styles of yoga around, with some 1,000 teachers worldwide and about 200,000 students—some of whom are so devoted that they spend much of their vacation time and disposable income following founder John Friend around the country.

The Anusara hatha yoga system, developed by Friend in 1997, teaches that everything in the world—your smile, my Downward Dog—is an expression of the Divine. Anusara, which in Sanskrit means "flowing with Grace," emphasizes moving in concert with the magical course of energy that is life and consciousness, and expressing it through the body, heart, and spirit. This spiritual focus, combined with a concise system of biomechanical principles that derive largely from Iyengar Yoga, teaches students to align with the Divine.
