Anusara Yoga is a modern school of yoga started by Andre Friend in 1997; it is a popular hatha yoga style with a Tantric philosophy.
The emphasis of the school is on a set of "Universal Principles of Alignment" which underlie all postures, "heart opening" postures and the spiritual/meditative benefits of hatha yoga.
According to American yoga magazine, Yoga Journal, Anusara Yoga is "the ultimate American (western) yoga: It's upbeat, optimistic, entrepreneurial, systematic, and do-it-yourself-friendly, and...It's spiritual but not dogmatic.. And it appeals to Westerners' pioneering spirit by suggesting that there is yet another frontier to conquer—the one inside us. It creates a sense of community
Attainable bliss and joy in practice and everyday life are an important aspect of the underlying philosophy of this school. Many western students with a modernist bent find this school attractive.
