Anusara Yoga Immersion
A Revolution of the Heart
With Naomi Gottlieb-Miller and Kelly Fisher
Overview
Consider the Anusara Immersion as a gift you give yourself. Your heart knows that yoga is a path to deepen awareness and to enhance your experience of being alive. To understand the principles of the yoga practice more fully, we need time and dedication to integrate the depth of the physical and philosophical teachings that make up Anusara Yoga. One weekend a month for 9 months, we will dive deep into the Anusara Yoga practice, stimulating the mind-body connection and uncovering your innate joy on, as well as beyond, your yoga mat. Each weekend will serve to connect you more fully to your own heart and create an even stronger connection to others within your community walking the same path. It is revolutionary.
Module 1: Awakening Your Consciousness
This module will introduce you to the basic elements of an Anusara Yoga practice, covering the foundations of Anusara Yoga, Shiva-Shakti Tantra, Meditation, Pranayama and Asana practice from the Level 1 syllabus. These beginnings will awaken your consciousness to what is possible for you as a yogi, as well as your potential within the world.
Module 2: Explore Your Creativity
This module takes a deeper look at the philosophical pieces of the practice, explaining the origins of other types of yoga, the 8 limbs of yoga and delving into the Yoga Sutras. As we go deeper a larger focus will be on studentship and cultivating community. On your mat, you will step into the slightly more challenging asanas of the Level 2 syllabus, pranayama and meditation techniques, creating a doorway to your own transformation.
Module 3: Embody Your Bliss
In the final module, we bring the Revolution of the Heart full circle. Sublime self-study combined with your study of the Bhagavad Gita will reveal a wisdom that is inherent, now that we have access to it. You will be introduced to a subtle body awareness through the chakras and koshas. As the philosophical conversation deepens, your asana practice will unfold and blossom and your seated meditation will flourish. As you conclude your immersion experience, it will be an opportunity to continue on the path, fully embodying your bliss!
About your Teachers
Naomi Gottlieb-Miller is a Certified Anusara yoga teacher, RYT. She began her practice of yoga to take the edge off of living in New York City, upon moving there over 10 years ago. It was once again yoga that chose her path, taking her from NYC back to Washington, D.C., her hometown, to study how to teach yoga to others. After graduating from Willow Street Yoga's Anusara Teacher Training in 2005, Naomi has come to the conclusion that choosing yoga was the best choice she ever made. She continues her yoga study with John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga, Amy Ippoliti and Sianna Sherman, focusing specifically on the Therapeutic benefits of yoga, as well using yoga to help an already healthy body even more fit. Naomi brings lightness and play to all her classes, encouraging students to invite a healthy dose of laughter into their practice. She is inspired by the joy her students bring to their mats and considers teaching yoga the best gig ever.
Kelly Fisher of Wildflower Yoga is a Certified Anusara Yoga Teacher with over 20 years of yoga and meditation practice and experience. Her teaching is influenced by everyone she meets, and special thanks go to John Friend and Douglas Brooks for their generosity of spirit in sharing their wisdom. Within each class she strives to bring compassion, thoughtfulness, and joy to her students' lives. Learn more about Kelly at www.wildfloweryoga.com.
