ANUSARA IMMERSION
Anusara Immersion is intended for dedicated students who wish to go deeper into every aspect of
their practice. Immersion presents the methodology of Anusara yoga in a systematic way in the
fully developed context of the Shiva-Shakti Tantric yoga philosophy that supports the practice. It is
a transformational opportunity to "immerse," not only into Anusara yoga as a powerful life practice,
but through this innovative and elegant method, into the very depths of one's own Heart.

The complete Immersion is 108 hours in 3 parts, with a curriculum created by John Friend,
Anusara yoga’s founder, and refined by his most experienced teachers. Immersion is meant to be
a course all of its own for personal transformation through Anusara yoga. It is also the stepping
stone prerequisite for Anusara yoga Teacher Training. You will need the full course of Immersion,
at least 100 hours, to attend a Teacher Training with John Friend or another certified Anusara
yoga teacher.

Each part of the Immersion includes philosophy and technique/anatomy lecture as well as asana
practice, pranayama, meditation, contemplation, and group sharing. Every level of the Immersion
expands upon the previous one and so must be taken sequentially. Anusara Immersion follows a
curriculum so the parts may be taken separately with any certified Anusara yoga teacher.

Anusara Immersion Part 1 - Step Into the Flow
Part 1 of the Immersion is 36 hours to introduce all of the main principles, methodology, and the
philosophical vision of the system. Learn about the flow of Grace, how to open to it and learn to
flow with its revelatory currents. Follow the inward journey into the Heart and be empowered by the
outward movement of radical participation in life. The main topics are:

- Anusara vision and Shiva-Shakti Tantric philosophy
- Anusara yoga methodology including the Universal Principles of Alignment

- Level 1 syllabus poses

Prerequisites:  
- At least 30 hours or 3 months of Anusara yoga studies (in the form of classes or workshops with
a certified Anusara yoga teacher)
- Participation in an
Intro to Anusara yoga workshop.
