What is the Immersion?
The Anusara Immersion takes you on a journey into Anusara Yoga's Asana, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation. The Immersion is perfect for those wishing to explore the Full practice of yoga. There is no pressure to teach yoga or any instruction on how to teach, only the pleasure and challenge of basking in the deeper knowledge of this practice.
Should I take an Immersion or a Teacher Training?
Take a 108-hr Immersion first! Then if you feel ready, apply for a teacher training! The Immersion is designed to provide a solid foundation of practical understanding for all serious students of Anusara Yoga, and for those students who wish to enter into teacher training. The process of being in an Immersion prepares you fully on all levels: Refines your knowledge of Anusara Yoga. The Immersion will give us all the opportunity to establish a new depth of commitment to our selves and each other.
What is the 3-Part Curriculum?
John Friend has just developed a new Curriculum for Anusara Immersions. It is a 3 part process totalling 108 hours. This way we become better students before rushing into teaching and learning yoga becomes the lifetime process it was meant to be. The the Immersion is comprehensive and refined, and is now a full preparation for those wishing to teach Anusara Yoga. Take the first step with Immersion I a total of 36 hours beginning March 7th!
Are there Pre-requisites for the Immersion?
Only a desire to deepen your knowledge is reqired
What will it be like to be in the Immersion?
In all three phases of the Immersion, we come together, have satsang, and spend time uncovering the subtleties of Anusara's Universal Principles of Alignment and Anusara's Level 1 & 2 Syllabi. There will be a reading list and journaling suggestions. There will be reading assignments to expand your understanding of the foundation of yoga. You will be asked to attend as many classes as you can during the immersion so that the ideas we study on the weekends can be practiced during your week.
