The vision of Anusara is grounded in a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness. In this philosophy we take the premise that everything is this world is an embodiment of Supreme Consciousness, which at its essence pulsates with goodness and the highest bliss.

The highest intention of practicing Anusara Yoga is to align with the Divine. As we deepen our alignment with the Divine, we step deeper into the flow of Grace. It is through the revelatory power of Grace that we awaken to the truth that this Divine flow is our essential nature. The higher knowledge naturally fuels our deepest desire to lovingly serve the creative flow of life through each breath and posture in our yoga practice. On our yoga mat we artistically offer our individual light and our unique music with the heartfelt prayer of adding more beauty, love and goodness to the world.

We want to know the delight that is our true nature, and we want to exult in that delight through a myriad of creative expression.

Our highest intention is to see and experience the universal everywhere and in everything, within and without in the full range of diversity.

The art of Anusara Yoga is a co-participation with the Supreme. Not a practice of domination, subjugation, or control of nature. Instead of trying to control the body and mind from the outside, the poses originate from a deep creative and devotional feeling inside.
