One of the meanings of Yoga is to "yoke or unite our polarities" so they do not fight and contradict each other, but they are instead complimentary opposites that serve to make us more whole and balanced in our lives. In a variety of poses, including inversions and backbends, we will look at many polarities and use them to align the physical, emotional and mental body in a precise and life affirming way. Anusara Yoga helps us to see the joy in both our unity and diversity.
All levels of practice are invited.
