Finally our long-awaited 2nd Immersion!!

As many of you have been read in the email from our beloved Ana Muriel, the second Anusara ® Yoga immersion: “Illuminating the Heart's Sky”is right around the corner, and this blog entry is just to give you a little reminder about what we learned in the first immersion and what we will see in the second one:

Subjects learned during the first immersion - Path to the Ecstatic Heart:

1) Universal Principles of Alignment which align the body in an optimal way creating balance, inviting both strength and flexibility, and opening the pathways for natural healing energy to move freely though you on all levels.

2) Introduction to study of yoga philosophy. Overview of the historical roots of yoga and Anusara’s life-affirming, all inclusive philosophy that intrinsic goodness is the essence of everyone and everything.

3) General principles of breath (pranayama), meditation, contemplation and journaling.
