Yoga is a thorough system for maintaining health and slowing down the aging process. Your yoga practice will help you develop greater flexibility and balance, tone and strengthen muscles, boost your immune system, increase physical energy and mental focus, improve digestion, and soothe the nervous system. The poses and breathing exercises also give a massage to your internal organs and glands. Consistent practice at home as well as in class will bring the maximum benefit, and help you reduce the damaging effects of stress. It is never too late to begin. Yoga is a gentle and gradual way to gain flexibility, strength and stamina at any age.

Anusara Yoga offers far more than a technique for doing poses. Our key emphasis is upon having the highest attitude and best understanding of the fullness of yoga as a discipline that opens you to the fullness of life and teaches you how to flow with life in body, mind and spirit. In addition, Anusara Yoga combines the Anusara Yoga Universal Principles of Alignment with Hatha Yoga poses for a transformative practice of moving the life energy (prana) to more fully manifest your intentions in this world. Much more than a physical exercise, this yoga celebrates and expands your individual gifts to express more play and connection to your Highest Good. By aligning yourself with the flow of life and integrating all aspects of your essential self, you will discover optimal strength, flexibility and a more joyful way of being. This method is safe and empowering-physically, mentally and spiritually. The science of biomechanics blended with the basic understanding that all of us are manifestations of Divine Source, is a powerful way to live. Anusara Yoga teaches us more than poses, it gives us a new frame for experiencing our lives.

In yoga practice we twist from side to side, turn upside down, and bend forward and backward. If you have not fully digested your last meal, it will make itself known to you in ways that are not comfortable. If you are a person with a fast-acting digestive system and are afraid you might get hungry or feel weak during yoga class, experiment with a light snack such as yogurt, a few nuts, or juice about 30 minutes to an hour before class.
