Deepen Your Practice and Live an Empowered Life
Designed for aspiring teachers and yogis who want to deepen their practice and knowledge, the Immersion will support you in awakening your heart and living a more meaningful and empowered life of freedom and joy. Through absorption in the life-affirming teachings of Anusara Yoga within a supportive community, you will joyously create a more vibrant body, radiant heart, and sharp mind as you integrate the deeper teachings of yoga.

During each part, you will dive deeply into the essence of the Anusara method in which the art of the human spirit powerfully blends with the science of biomechanics. You will learn the Universal Principles of Alignment in an in-depth, systematic way, explore the revelatory teachings of Tantra philosophy, basic anatomy and practice the subtle art of pranayama and meditation. Contemplation, journal writing, and a supportive and uplifting community will deepen your experience.
