Anusara Yoga classes are fun and energetic designed to introduce students to a vast array of postures, therapeutic applications of yoga, breathing and centering techniques.  Master yogi John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga, developed the Universal Principles of Alignment that serve as the foundation of this class.  It is physically challenging yet appropriate for all levels.  Students are encouraged to play their edge and deepen their practice, and to open their hearts and experience the joy and freedom that results.

Basics:  This class is designed to introduce students to yoga.  Since strength and stamina come in time as part of the process, this class is limited to one hour.

Open: This class caters to both beginners and intermediate students.  Beginning students are afforded the opportunity to be inspired by their fellow classmates; the entire class benefits from this energetic exchange of heart-felt expressions.  Inversions, arm-balances and full-backbends are introduced.

Intermediate:  This is Michael's most advanced class.  Students taking this class must have a solid intermediate/advanced asana practice (some Anusara recommended).  It is strenuous and challenging, but most of all very fun.  Inversions, arm-balances and full-backbends are explored into "radical expansion."

The Practice: In this class, Michael shares the practice with the students, leading it along side of them.  We set up our sticky mats so that 2 rows face each other, Michael taking a center spot so as to see everyone.  The level of the class depends on who shows up and accommodates everyone.
