In this inspirational class, John Friend teaches how to embody divine beauty, both on and off the yoga mat, using Anusara Yoga’s Universal Principles of Alignment™. This practice is a celebration of the divine beauty and the abundance of life, which is expressed through an uplifting asana sequence, culminating in full backbends. The class invokes Lakshmi , the Goddess who embodies Shri, the exquisite splendor that pulsates within all of us.
This one and a half hour class was recorded live as part of a week-long retreat with John Friend at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York.
