What is an Immersion?¿QUE ES UNA INMERSION? (Transferencia directa el folleto en Español)

The Anusara Yoga Immersion is an invitation to cross a threshold and deepen your yoga practice on every level. Through focused studies of the life affirming philosophy underlying the Anusara Yoga tradition, deep practice embodying the Universal Principles of Alignment™, and stimulating conversation with other like hearted yogin you will experience a transformational and exciting spiritual, physical and mental journey into the ecstatic core of your own heart.

For those with a dream to teach Anusara Yoga, this is the perfect opportunity to create a solid foundation from which to build from. It is the first step for those wishing to embark on the path of teaching Anusara Inspired Yoga. Although the immersions do not give instruction on how to teach yoga, it is an appropriate gateway for those who are already teaching Yoga, or those with the desire to become an Inspired or Certified Anusara Yoga® Instructor. The immersions are not designed to give instructions on how to teach, so there is no pressure to teach, only the empowering knowledge of the deeper aspects of the fundamental teachings of Anusara Yoga.


(For more information on the requirements for Inspired or Certified designations, please go to www.anusara.com)

The immersion curriculum consists of a three phase series totaling 108 hours and designed for anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of Anusara Yoga. Completion of immersions 1, 2, and 3 is a prerequisite for participating in an Anusara Yoga Level 1 Teacher Training.

The Immersion offers you an invitation to awakening, a venue for making meaningful friendships within a global community of other like-hearted, like-minded yogin, and it is exciting spiritual, physical and mental voyage into the core of Anusara Yoga teachings. The immersion provides the tools, the guide you need to engage life skillfully and move from that ecstatic place in your heart, on the mat and out in the world.
