Anusara Yoga
|
|
Anusara Yoga is a popular hatha
yoga style with a Tantric philosophy. It is a modern school of yoga
started by John Friend in 1997.
The emphasis of the school is on a set of "Universal Principles of
Alignment" which underlie all postures, "heart opening" postures and the
spiritual/meditative benefits of hatha yoga.
Attainable bliss and joy in practice and everyday life are an important
aspect of the underlying philosophy of this school. Many western students
with a modernist bent find this school attractive.
Philosophy of Anusara Yoga:
The underlying
philosophy of this school of hatha yoga is tantric in nature. As
such, the manifest universe (perceived through our senses and
mind) is seen as a manifestation of the Divine. The nature of the
Divine − 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.
In a grand game of hide and seek, the Absolute seeks to experience
its own blissful nature by creating a vast, infinite diversity of
form.
