Lakshmi Rocks Me by John Friend

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. John Friend is the world renowned founder of Anusara Yoga. He has practiced a variety of hatha yoga styles since the early 70’s. Using his great warmth and humor, he blends a teaching style that inspires students to live each moment from the heart with his detailed prescriptions for how to do the postures. In 1997 John founded Anusara Yoga to promote his unique vision and it is alive throughout the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.
