About Anusara Yoga

Anusara is a heart-oriented, extremely therapeutic, and powerfully transformative style of Hatha Yoga. Developed by master teacher (the internationally renowned and seriously playful!) John Friend, it is one of the fastest growing styles of yoga in the world.

The word Anusara means "flowing with Grace", also understood as "to go with the Flow, "step into the current of Nature", or "follow your heart". Working with Universal Principles of Alignment, this practice powerfully blends healing biomechanics and balanced energetic action with a soulful celebration of the heart! Anusara stems from a Tantric yoga philosophy which reminds us that we are always connected to a bigger energy and encourages us to embody our intentions in a way that celebrates and expresses the beauty of life and our own individual natures.

I teach Anusara-inspired Hatha Yoga in many locations throughout Christchurch, New Zealand. My classes are dynamic, playful, light-hearted, and supportive. I believe that yoga is a practice that can open our hearts and reveal what IS possible to us in every moment.

Welcome to Yoga Kula NZ

Hello!

Welcome to my yoga blog--your home base to stay up to date on the classes, workshops, and special events that I'm teaching around town. As the blog gets going, I plan to post my class themes for the week, sharing with you whatever is inspiring me--my life, my practice, my teaching. I'd like to post articles, yoga links, and share information on local and international events. My hope is that you will share too! I invite your comments on all posts, feedback on classes and events, questions for me and for each other.

KULA is a Sanskrit word that means "community of the heart". Since my very first class, the practice of yoga for me has been about connection. I hope that this blog will be a way to foster communication, connection, and community in our practice of yoga and of LIFE. No matter where in the world we live, practice, work, love, teach...it is only a short distance between like minds and hearts.

More soon!
Namaste,
Katie
