John Friend in June Vanity Fair issue, 2007

Anusara (a-nu-sar-a), means “flowing with Grace,” “going with the flow,” “following your heart”.

Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a powerful hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment™. Anusara is heart oriented, inspiring and yet grounded in Universal Principles of Alignment for both inner and outer body. It is a unique, therapeutic style of Hatha Yoga in which the artistic expression of the human heart blends magically with the scientific principles of biomechanics. 
 
Anusara takes its name from a verse in the great text, the Kularnava Tantra. It reads in Sanskrit, "Shakti-nipata-anusarena sishyo'anugraham-arhati". This means, by stepping into the current of Divine Grace's descent into the heart, the true seeker becomes worthy, enveloped in the Grace that sustains and nurtures his or her every action.
