- = Anusara Yoga: A Modern Fusion of the Hatha Yoga Style and Tantric Philosophy = - - -->Established in 1997 by John Friend<-- - ''' - The Founder:John Friend''' - John Friend began this modern school of Yoga in 1997. It is a fusion of the Hatha Yoga style with a Tantric philosophy, very popular in western cultures. John Friend takes a personal, active role leading the expansion of the school through training and certifying teachers. - ''' - Philosophy''' - Tantra is the underlying philosophy of this school of Hatha Yoga. As such, the universe, as perceived through our senses and mind, is seen as a manifestation of the Divine. The nature of the Divine − also referred to as God, the undifferentiated Absolute, the Essence of everything and everyone, the Transcendental − is pure bliss. The nature of God, by its very definition, is absolute and free of any limitations. - - '''Emphases''' - •"Universal Principles of Alignment" is the underlying theme of all poses. - •”Heart Opening" postures and the spiritual/meditative benefits of Hatha Yoga are integrated into the practice - •Bliss and joy are attainable in everyday life through regular practice - - '''The Three A’s of Anusara Yoga''' - The practice of Anusara Yoga can be broadly categorized into three parts. - 1.) Attitude- maintenance of a positive mind - 2.) Alignment- conscious efforts to maintain good posture - 3.) Action- deliberate movement and purpose throughout the practice - - '''Something to Ponder…''' - John Friend draws the following analogy on the use and interplay of Attitude, Alignment, and Action in one's yoga practice:A musician (yogi) makes music (performs an asana) by expressing his heart (Attitude) through the playing (Action) of a properly tuned instrument (Alignment of the body). The highest expression of an asana (the most beautiful music that a musician can potentially play with a particular instrument) occurs when the instrument of the body is optimally Aligned, the Action is strong and balanced, and the Attitude is spiritually pure and powerful. - - '''Helpful Links''' - The official site of Anusara Yoga: [http://www.anusara.com] - Rochester Yoga Studios: [http://www.searchforfitness.com/Rochester_Yoga.index.html] - - [[Comments]] - ------ - ''2007-04-30 18:12:18'' [[nbsp]] Welcome to RocWiki, Rosellen!
