We invite and welcome all dedicated Anusara yogis and prospective Anusara teachers to our 2008 Immersion program.
It is an opportunity for the serious student to pursue an in-depth exploration of Anusara Yoga¨ without the pressure to teach. The 108 hour three-part Anusara Yoga¨ Immersion takes you on a journey into the study of Anusara Yoga (Asana, Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation). You will meet friends who share in the desire to live from the heart. Develop lifelong friendships and explore and participate in the Anusara kula (community).
