Yoga

 

We teach in the style of Anusara Yoga that was developed by John Friend.
Anusara emphasizes Optimal Alignment. This alignment helps the body
to rejuvenate and expand. The practise of Anusara Yoga can improve
flexibility and heal or prevent injury. Anusara is vigorous and challenging
but is geared to your level and capabilities. It is a blending of the mental,
physical and spiritual realms.

 The teachers at the Kula Center have studied directly with John Friend
and/or his certified Anusara trainers.

Rob and Steve have been practicing yoga for 14 years. Both are former Ashtanga students who gradually moved into Anusara-- studying with John Friend, Sianna Sherman and Mitchel Bleier.

Their classes emphasis the body, mind and spirit through an open heart, focus and optimal alignment. They teach in tandem so the student receives manual adjustments with every class.

Their Tuesday class is geared to both the beginner and those moving into the intermediate stage.
