Anusara® Yoga Immersion Program 2010/11

Be inspired to deepen your experience of Anusara® yoga, and to step fully into the flow of Grace that empowers you to align with your heart’s desire. Willow Street Yoga’s Anusara® Immersion program is designed both for dedicated students and for aspiring teachers who are ready to study Anusara’s sophisticated and life-affirming system of yoga at a deeper level.

The Immersion offers a comprehensive curriculum in three parts, totaling over 108 hours of study. Each weekend consists of a powerful mix of instruction, discussion, and yoga practice. Over the course of the Immersion, you’ll learn the essential elements of yoga philosophy, alignment and anatomy, as well as explore the deeper practices of pranayama and meditation. Between program weekends, you’ll have opportunities to connect with fellow Immersing yogis, including special monthly asana practices and study groups.

Our Immersion program recognizes that the study of yoga is a life-long endeavor, and that before we become teachers, we must first learn to be great students. The Immersion is therefore an important pre-requisite for any Anusara® Yoga Teacher Training program, giving aspiring teachers not only the solid foundation needed to pursue Teacher Training, but also the skill and confidence needed to take that step.

Upon completion of the Immersion, you will have a sound working knowledge of the principles of Anusara® yoga and be able to integrate them more fully into your own yoga practice. As a member of a tightly-knit group of Immersion students, you'll experience the power of Anusara® yoga to expand your presence both on and off the mat.

To maintain a diverse yet intimate Immersion community, our program is limited to 45 participants. Register now to ensure your place, to evolve your practice, and to transform your life!
