Though it was only recently founded as a school of Hatha yoga in 1997, Anusara is one of the fastest growing and most widely-respected branches of yoga around the world, and is based upon an uplifting and life-affirming Shiva-Shakti Tantric philosophy that celebrates both community and individual. Founded by John Friend, Anusara is a celebratory system that means “to flow with Grace and Nature,” and which emphasizes the importance of following one’s heart.
