Gail studies and practices Anusara (a-nu-sar-a) yoga, which means "flowing with Grace," "going with the flow," "following your heart". It unifies the Tantric yoga philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of AlignmentTM. Founded in 1997 by John Friend, it is one of the most popular and fastest-growing styles of yoga with 1,000 teachers and 200,000 students in 70 countries. Anusara Yoga's remarkable popularity is due in large part to its uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," which looks for the good in all people and all things. Consequently, students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents. This life-affirming vision sets the basis for a yoga system in which the harmony and joy of a tightly knit community is exulted. For more information, visit http://www.anusara.com/

ReplyDelete"I have studied other types of yoga before but never Anusara until I went to Gail's class. She made this practice lively, interesting, full of wisdom and challenging but extremely level appropriate for anyone beginner to advanced.I have now had a chance to go many times and look forward to her particular brand of training and those bright lights in her eyes, that tell me there is something very joyful and enlightening in the journey!"
