John Friend, John Friend, founder of Anusara® yoga, created this innovative school of hatha yoga to unite a radically life-affirming Tantric philosophy with the profoundly therapeutic and deeply strengthening Universal Principles of Alignment™. Precise yet playful, Anusara yoga affirms the presence of Grace within every moment of our lives and every cell of our bodies. From decades of extensive study and teaching, John offers elegant alignment instruction for our bodies, minds, and hearts - and positive inspiration for the ways in which we experience our lives. The Anusara vision is a methodology based on a broad Tantric philosophy that blends various Tantric schools of thought, from both the Shiva-based schools of Northern India such as Kashmir Shaivism, and the Shakti-based schools from Southern India, notably Shrividya. Biannually we host Dr. Douglas Brooks, longtime teacher to many of our staff, who brings his distinct vision of Shrividya, the philosophy of Rajanaka yoga. One of several influences on Anusara yoga, alongside Paul Muller-Ortega, Carlos Pomeda, and Bill Mahony, Rajanaka Yoga's powerful initiation infuses our intention: to affirm your deepest desires as your clearest inspiration for making increasingly elegant, fearless choices. Whatever paths you've traveled, we hope to encourage you to fully open to the vast Grace inherent in your poses and your possibilities. |
