Come join other enthusiastic yogis on a playful and exciting journey in the exploration of Anusara® Yoga. Deepen your own practice and understanding of yoga on the mat and explore the depth and breadth of its power to transform your life. This Immersion is designed for the dedicated student who wants to delve into the practice of Anusara Yoga in an interactive and expansive environment.

 

While this program is a prerequisite for Anusara Yoga teacher training, there is no pressure to teach yoga or any instruction on how to teach, only the delight and challenge of basking in the deeper knowledge of this practice.  In this comprehensive workshop, every aspect of Anusara Yoga will be explored in detail, including all asanas from the Level 1 and 2 syllabi, yoga history, two classic texts, as well as an in-depth exploration of the Universal Principles of Alignment.  The course will be offered in three different sections. Each day dynamic asana will be taught and ideas about this practice of conscious heart-based living will be shared as a “kula,” the Sanskrit word for community.

Immersion Level I

We will begin by exploring Tantric philosophy and the lineage of Anusara.  You will become familiar with the most important, fundamental philosophical concepts that this practice is based on, as well as the Universal Principles of Alignment, meditation, pranayama, anatomy, and the Level I Syllabus of Asanas. (Weekends 1 & 2)

Immersion Level II

Looking back at the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali will act as a guide to understanding the beginnings of this practice in Classical Yoga.  We will refine our technique and practice through the Level II Syllabus of Asanas, and begin more refined meditation and pranayama practices. (Weekends 3, 4 &5)

Immersion Level III

We will culminate at a place where we can apply the fundamentals of this practice to subtler, energetic concepts such as the Chakras, Ayurveda, and the Malas. 

We will study the Bhagavad Gita in depth to expand upon our understanding of yoga philosophy, and we will delve deeper into subtle alignment by exploring therapeutics. (Weekends 6, 7 & 8)
