About me

Anusara Yoga was founded in 1998 by John Friend. John was influenced strongly by both B.K.S. Iyengar and the path of Siddha Yoga. In 2012 Anusara became the The Anusara School of Hatha Yoga, otherwise known as ASHY and is now an international organization.

Anu- Individual; sara- current; flow of grace

The 3 qualities that differentiate Anusara from other schools of yoga are:

• strong emphasis on principles of alignment 
• a philosophical foundation in non-dual Tantra 
• a well connected, collaborative and diverse global community. 

Anusara is grounded and balanced in physical practice, intellectual study, contemplative practices and philosophical bridges to bring the practice back to our life in meaningful and concrete ways.

Ayurveda is an ancient and traditional practice of medicine and longevity from India estimated to be more than 3000 years old. Ayurveda and Yoga are sister sciences, rooted in the same history, culture, philosophy and principles.

Ayurveda is the study of everything about life. In this way it takes a different perspective than Western Medicine. Instead of the focus being on diagnosing sickness or disease and treating symptoms Ayurveda focuses on what it means to be in a state of balance or imbalance and finding the root cause of imbalance. In this way Ayurveda is a wonderful companion to our western medical system and can be a great support in daily life for all of the choices we make about our routine, diet, exercise and spiritual practice.  Because it is the study of all of life, Ayurveda can be applied to every facet of our experience: food, color, music, relationships, work ethic, exercise, hobbies, etc… This can seem overwhelming at first but this system is both intuitive and elegant and can be grasped and utilized by any practitioner.
