The Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara yoga have a powerful and innovative
therapeutic application.  

The Optimal Blueprint – The Optimal Blueprint is the master design for the body’s potential
for optimal alignment and health. It represents the ideal spatial pattern of the body in any
position. For every possible position that the energetic and physical bodies can assume,
there is a specific alignment where circulation of vital energy (prana), blood, and other
internal fluids have an optimally healthy flow. The Optimal Blueprint represents this ideal
alignment of the body in any position. When the outer body is aligned with the Optimal
Blueprint, the body senses this. The connective tissue becomes stronger, more resilient, and
increases in flexibility while the internal circulation, including prana, increases. Simply moving
the outer body toward synchronization with the Optimal Blueprint improves the flow of all body
energies. The Universal Principles of Alignment bring the body into alignment with the
Optimal Blueprint.

The Five Elements - The elements combine in specific ways to form our mind/body
constitution. This life-wisdom, which is the basis for the science of Ayurveda, is helpful in
identifying both our strengths and our potentially negative imbalances. Each of the five
Universal Principle of Alignment corresponds with an element. In addition to creating optimal
vitality in the body, then, the Principles can also be skillfully practiced to balance and
enhance the body/mind's natural expression for greater freedom and optimal living.

Anusara yoga therapeutics radically transform injury and imbalance into healing
and clarity.
Anusara yoga therapeutics are appropriate for those new to yoga and working
with persistent physical issues and medical conditions. The Alignment Principles can also
bring joy and new possibility back into ongoing hatha yoga practice, which is often troubled
by injury due to repetition and unaddressed mis-alignment. Commonly problematic areas
such as the lower back, shoulders, neck and jaw, hips, and knees, as well as even more
periphery areas such as elbow, wrist and ankles can improve dramatically.

While the therapeutic benefits of Anusara yoga are realized in a public class setting, specific
needs and deeper inquiry are thoroughly addressed in a private session.
