Anusara® Immersion is intended for dedicated students who wish to go deeper into every aspect of their practice. Immersion presents the methodology of Anusara yoga in a systematic way in the fully developed context of the Tantric yoga philosophy that supports the practice. It is a transformational opportunity to “immerse” not only into Anusara yoga as a powerful life practice, but through this innovative and elegant method, into the very depths of one's own Heart.



The complete Immersion is 108 hours in 3 parts, with a curriculum created by John Friend, Anusara yoga’s founder, and refined by his most experienced teachers. Immersion is meant to be a course all of its own for personal transformation through Anusara yoga. It is also the prerequisite for those who wish to teach Anusara yoga. You will need the full course of Immersion, at least 100 hours, to attend an Anusara yoga Teacher Training with John Friend or another certified Anusara yoga teacher.



Each part of the Immersion includes philosophy and technique/anatomy lecture as well as asana practice, pranayama, meditation, contemplation, and group sharing. Every level of the Immersion expands upon the previous one and so must be taken sequentially. Anusara Immersion follows a curriculum so the parts may be taken separately with any certified Anusara yoga teacher.Anusara Immersion Part 1 - Step Into the Flow

Part 1 of the Immersion is 36 hours to introduce all of the main principles, methodology, and the philosophical vision of the system.
