Anusara yoga is a modern-day Hatha yoga system founded by John Friend. Anusara means “flowing with grace,” “going with the flow,” “following your heart.” Anusara Yoga is rooted in a non-dual Tantric philosophy that we are all inherently good.

In practicing Anusara Yoga, improvements may be exhibited in the following: flexibility, posture, lung capacity, immunity and circulation. Similar to Restorative Yoga, the psychological benefits include decreased stress and increased relaxation, as well as general improvements in one’s mental stability and well-being.
