As a result of the Anusara Immersion, I find that I am calmer and more integrated, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Bea is a fantastic teacher. She has a clear and deep knowledge of the philosophy and asana practice of Anusara Yoga, which she clearly articulates. Susan, Anusara Inspired Teacher

An over all awareness of the alignment principles has helped me to be more integrated in my asana practice. I have noticed how much of the yoga experience and knowledge I’m bringing to my business, including staff meetings, communications and general ability to see the good in all situations. Meditation has deepened for me immensely; I used to resist it, and now I can settle in. Elissa, student
