How does expectant mother Gisele Bundchen stay in shape? Aside from exercising and playing outdoors with Tom Brady and little John, Gisele practices Anusara yoga in the morning for an hour.

Anusara means "flowing with grace,” “going with the flow,” or “following your heart." As the name suggests, this type of yoga has a deeply spiritual side that is focused on connecting with the Divine Spirit (God), opening the heart, and uplifting your soul. As you flow through the challenging sequence of postures, the teacher will give extremely specific verbal cues to help you get your bones, muscles, and even your organs in the right place to ensure proper outer and inner body alignment. At the end of class, your body will feel open and light, and your mind will feel calm and content. Practicing Anusara yoga will increase your flexibility and strength both emotionally and physically. If you're looking to deepen your yoga practice, definitely try Anusara.

I'm just about to start regular yoga!
1How is Anusara different from Vinyasa?
2bigestivediscuit - In Anusara classes, instructors will always emphasize the spiritual aspect of yoga, while in Vinyasa classes, they may not (it depends on the instructor).
3That gown is gorgeous and she looks healthy in those photos. Good for her for doing something healthy for her body and mind. Yoga is wonderful!
4this sounds like yoga i might actually give a go.
5This sounds like Forrest Yoga with strength, grace, beauty, emotion, and letting go of what no longer serves us.
6While Gisele is gorgeous, I am sure that she would agree that the beauty that shines after doing her ANUSARA Yoga practice is that deep inner beauty (Shri) that resides in all of us! Just take a look at any student after their Anusara class/practice...the shakti of their true being cannot help but be expressed through their whole being especially through the "heart opening" that this yoga inspires!
Thank you John Friend!!! Anusara has changed my life:)
