Begin 2012 by enlivening your 7 energy centers to receive this auspicious year! All levels of yoga are welcome. We will practice asanas learning the Anusara Yoga Energy Loops and how they relate to chakras. We will also experience powerful Nithya Kriyas which will open up a level of lightness inside to give us an experience of the expanded state of consciousness. You will be able to use these at home as a continuous practice to take full advantage of the opportunity to explode your consciousness this year. We’ll enjoy a delicious Satvic (pure) lunch by Nirgunavathi, followed by tea & a Nithyananda discourse. The afternoon session will open our energy even more fully with hip openers, forward bends, twisting, pranayama, meditation, contemplation, questions and answers. Please bring a journal to write down key insights into your cosmic conscious transition 2012.

	ANUSARA YOGA IMMERSION FOR 2013


	Immersion dates for 2012 (none), we will have special classes above

ANUSARA means “flowing with Grace” or “following your heart”. Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a hatha yoga system that features Universal Principals of alignment and a non-dual Shiva/Shakti Tantric philosophy that is epitomized by “looking for what is good” and “celebration of the heart. Anusara philosophy begins with the recognition that one universal spirit pulsates as the essence of everything, and by practicing yoga with the Universal Principals of Alignment, we can expereince this divine energy in our bodies, our hearts and in the entire world.

WHAT IS THE ANUSARA YOGA IMMERSION?
The Immersion Program was developed by Anusara Yoga Founder John Friend as an invitation to dive deeper into the profound teachings of Anusara Yoga and the Tantric Philosophy upon which Anusara Yoga is based. The Immersion is an opportunity for all Anusara Yoga students to deepen their level of studentship and accelerate spiritual transformation. The Immersion is also a pre-requisite for Anusara Teacher Training (go to anusarayoga.com for more info.) The intention is to refine your experience and understanding on all levels of body, mind and heart. The Immersion is intended to guide you on a path of self-inquiry, to give you the experience of yoga as transformation of all levels on and off the mat, and to empower you in applying this ancient wisdom to modern day living. Attaining a healthy body, peaceful mind and having harmonious relationships in life is only a byproduct of inner transformation. Without unfolding, your own deep consciousness yoga practice will only work on the mental and physical levels. To awaken your spirit is the main purpose of the Anusara Yoga Immersion. Take your Self to the next level. Come and join us in this amazing and fun adventure!
