| | Tantra is a mystical practice, and also a mysterious one. Since the philosophy behind Anusara Yoga is based on tantra, I was pleased recently to have the opportunity to ask Anusara founder John Friend some questions about it. | | Tantra and Anusara As John Friend notes, many in the west associate tantra with ritualized sex, but there is much more to tantric philosophy. | Anusara Yoga Anusara yoga was founded by John Friend in 1997 and has been gaining loyal followers ever since. Anusara fills the need for an alignment-based vinyasa practice with a strong dose of spirituality. | Anusara in Encinitas Anusara world headquarters will soon be opening in Encinitas, California, and is sure to become a sought-after destination for Anusara devotees. Check out the link for a cool, animated promotional video explaining Encinitas' significance in western yoga. | Pose of the Week -Seated Straddle - Upavista Konasana For people with tight hips and hamstrings, just sitting in upavista konasana is a big challenge, never mind coming into a forward bend. One of the best ways to find some space in this pose is to bring some lift to your seat with one or more folded blankets. A slight bend in the knees is also a good way to ease your way in. When you do begin to come forward, think about tipping from the pelvis, not rounding into it from the spine. | | | | Yoga Ads | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About Yoga newsletter.
