Anusara was founded by John Friend in 1997. It is an exciting and innovative style of hatha yoga and currently one of the most popular and fastest growing styles of yoga today. Its uplifting philosophy, combined with precise alignment based on biomechanic principles, is an inspiration to yoga practitioners around the world.

Anusara literally means to be in the flow, in the current of the Divine, to flow with Grace. It is a spiritually inspiring, therapeutically effective and physically transforming style of hatha yoga. Key aspects are the life-affirming Tantric philosophy, the Universal Principles of Alignment™, and Kula - a strong sense of community.

Tantric philosophy celebrates life and the human spirit. The emphasis is on creative freedom, individuality and seeking to see the good in all people and all things.

The Universal Principles of Alignment™ are clear and elegant principles that allow the body, breath and spirit to align for optimal strength, freedom and joy, so that these qualities can radiate into every aspect of our lives.

Kula, or ''community of the heart'', is the celebration of a shared vision. It is the way we take yoga from our yoga mats into our lives. It is honouring our individuality by connecting with others, seeing ourselves as a part of the big picture - a larger vision of life. We understand that our contribution is meaningful and our own well-being intrinsically linked to the well-being of everything and everyone around us.

Anusara Yoga® certification is among the most professional and demanding in the world, requiring many years of dedicated training.Teachers seek to serve students in unveiling their innate goodness, worthiness and Divine nature.

The highest intention of practising Anusara yoga is to align with the Divine.
