Anusara-Inspired Yoga

Daniella’s teachings are highly influenced by Anusara Yoga with her long hours of study and practice that has given her the status of Anusara-Inspired. Anusara Yoga, a system of Hatha Yoga developed and founded by John Friend, masterfully blends Universal Principles of Alignment with heart-opening, creative expression making the practice a beautiful and delightful synergy of precision and grace. The Sanskrit word Anusara has been translated to mean “flowing with Grace”, “aligning with your essence” and “following your heart.”

Anusara Yoga is rooted in non-dualistic, life-affirming Tantric philosophy which takes the premise that each of us is an expression of Supreme Consciousness. The highest intention of the practice is to awaken to the innate goodness inside oneself,  to recognize our gifts and talents and then use them to serve life fully.

A yogin is a someone whose body has become their temple, their source of discovery and renewal, the place of remembering their life force.”


Anusara’s name comes from verse 14.38 in the great text, Kularnava Tantra:

“Shakti-nipata-anusarena shishyo’anugraham-arati”

“By Stepping into the Current of Divine Grace, the true seeker becomes ready and able, empowered by Grace, to realize his/her own Greatness.”

Anusara Yoga offers a vision that is inclusive of all religious affiliations and requires only a willing heart.
