Anusara (a-nu-sar-a), means “flowing with Grace,” “going with the flow,” “following your heart”.

Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a hatha yoga system that unifies Universal Principles of Alignment with a non-dual Tantric philosophy that is epitomized by a “celebration of the heart”. In this philosophy we take the premise that everything is supreme Consciousness—nothing exists that is not supreme Consciousness. It encompasses a vision of totality in which each person is seen as equally divine in every part—body, mind, and spirit. The body and mind are honored as sacred vessels through which the divine radiance of supreme Consciousness can shine. Each of us is regarded as essentially good, so there is a lot of acceptance and allowance in this system for difference and deviation.

Anusara is flowing with Grace by saying yes to the whole magical spectrum of life. It is a willingness to be aware of all parts of ourselves—the light and the dark, the full rainbow of sensation, perception, emotion, and thought. To be in the flow is to look at whatever arises with freshness and freedom. It is simply to open our hearts with love to the present moment without clinging or pushing. Anusara is accepting the world and ourselves as we are, and then responding with love. (Excert from John Friend’s web site: www.anusarayoga.com).

Christina is the author of Yoga From the inside Out, a book about yoga and body image. Skilled at teaching people of all ages and abilities, Christina's classes are fun, inspiring and filled with techniques for optimally aligning the body and the heart.

"Yoga from the Inside Out is perhaps the most important and inspiring book on the philosophy of hatha yoga, which it elevates to a spiritual art of self-love and acceptance that can transform your self-image."
     -from the forward by John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga

There will be two yoga classes daily: morning classes will be dynamic and flowing followed by Meditation and shavasana. Evening classes will be soothing and restorative ending with meditation. Tune into the rhythm, beauty and power of nature to guide you in the discovery of your own inner nature. There will be plenty of time to walk in the woods, book blissful treatments as well as to read, rest or simply do nothing. All levels are welcome.
