about the styles of yoga

alignment based flow a slow moving, sometimes still, class which incorporates finding the right alignment for your body in the asana. The flowing sequences build strength in the muscular system, smooth transitions via the nervous system, and freedom in the connective tissues as the movement builds natural warmth in the body.

anusara: Anusara means "flowing with Grace," "going with the flow", and "following your heart". Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga® is a powerful hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with the Universal Principles of AlignmentT. Its' uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," looks for the good in all people and all things. Fun-loving students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents.
