Anusara is a school of hatha yoga with an uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart" that looks for the good in all people and all things. Increasing rapidly in popularity since it was founded in 1997, Anusara honours students of all levels of ability and experience for their unique differences, limitations, and talents. This celebratory vision sets the basis for a yoga school in which the harmony and joy of a tightly knit community of highly trained teachers and fun-loving students is exalted. The Anusara community has the tightness of a family, yet the looseness of a merry band of bohemian artists.
