~ What is Anusara Yoga?

Anusara Yoga is  a modern school therapeutic Hatha style of yoga, grounded in a Tantric philosophy of goodness, emphasising the "Universal Principles of Alignment" creating a stronger Body, Mind and Soul Connection.
This powerful hatha yoga system of practice was founded by John Friend in 1997 and has rapidly become one of the most popular sought yoga styles in the world.

 
~ How can Anusara Yoga help me?

Anusara means "flowing with grace", "following your heart", or "going with the flow" all of which draw forth a positive energy experience to those that practice. Anusara not only brings mind, heart and spirit into alignment but furthermore  it strengthens the muscles, increases circulation, quells agitation, improves concentration - offering a Unique Uplifting yoga practice!


Grace, a key concept and element of yoga tantra, is the mysterious power of universal beneficence. We have all of us experienced it, when something happens that is unexpected, unearned and a true blessing. Grace is not religious matter; it is a force of creation, one that we all know, and one we can enhance in our lives by certain practices, and by simple awareness. Grace blesses us, as the touch of the divine and it bestows on us a longing, a sense of calling to something greater in our life. Most of us come to yoga with some sense that there is more that we want for our lives. This sense is itself grace. But grace alone doesn't get us where we want to go. We also need the courage to follow the path; we have to use effort, determination and devotion.

About Nicole Joannides

I have a BSc and I am a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher). I have been practicing Yoga for almost 10 years and have been teaching for two. I recieved my certification degree in the 200 hour yoga teacher training in Athens, from NYSY studios, from Vivi Letsou, founder of the studio and Rusty Wells, San Frasisco based teacher in Bakti Flow. I have studied with teachers very well know in the Yoga world and have leared a great deal from all of them. Some names are, Brian Kest, Desiree Rumbaugh,Marc Holzman, Sianna Sherman, Doug Swenson, Rusty Wells, Todd Tesen, BJ Gulvan, Jay Martin and the Great Douglas Brookes.
I founded Pure Yoga Practice in Sept 2009, which has hosted great teachers in small workshops. It is a small studio with a lot of character and its my third baby! I have two amazing sons and a truly supportive husband who really reminds everyday how amazing it is to have someone to laugh with. If it wasn't for his support i wouldn't be such a grounded human being.
My love for yoga started in the UK in the year 2001, where I took my first class and when I left, I thought I was flying. That I wasn't walking on the ground but floating. That was it. The love is still as stong as the first day....Love at first sight truly does exist!
The type of yoga I teach is inspired by the method called Anusara, which is a heart opening method, that is based on Principles of Alighnment with something that is bigger than us, Grace, God whatever we want to call it. It is a powerful method, with a lot of talk and a lot of laughter!!
