Anusara means “flowing with Grace,” “flowing with Nature,” “following your heart.” The underlying tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness assumes that everything in the world is pulsating with divine goodness and bliss, and the methodology has a respectful tone that appeals to me strongly:
“… Anusara yoga teachers, first and foremost, look for the good in all things, especially within themselves and their students. Anusara yoga teachers help enhance and reveal the beauty and Divine qualities that are already present in the students' poses. They do not try to "fix" or "correct" students' alignment. Instead, they are dedicated to serving each student and helping them unveil their innate goodness, worthiness, and Supreme nature …” - quoted from www.anusara.com
I know from teaching tango how easily one falls into a pattern of “correcting” what the students do. Anusara Yoga has the ambition of not falling into that pattern. Anusara Yoga shows that you can keep a strong focus on physiology and technique, and still use a positive approach.
