There is no yoga school in Florida like Anuttara.
This is not to sound dramatic, it’s just truth. Anuttara has successfully done what many, many studios in the west have failed to do, and that is keeping the culture of India’s Yoga present throughout the entire practice. (The teachers whenever they speak in Sanskrit speak so eloquently, it is always refreshing to hear)
I first came to Anuttara 3 years ago, and since then, I have yet to find a school that compares to Anuttara. Anuttara has perfected teaching the proper alignment, and integrity of these sacred poses, in a way that is both exciting and engaging. They have made the yoga they teach a beautiful, harmonious blend of both science and art.
I’ve been to many different studios, both locally, and in Orlando where I currently reside as a student. Still, none are in the ranks of Anuttara. (I say this with no disrespect to other studios, of course there are other studios that have their benefits, so please do not misunderstand). As a certified Yoga instructor through the Yoga Alliance, the way Anuttara ensures students maintain the proper alignment in poses is the rarest thing you will find. I can’t even begin to describe how many yoga classes I’ve been to where the instructor doesn’t put any sort of emphasis on why alignment is so important.
In addition, Anuttara’s yoga flows are unique, consistent, and challenging. Again, in my journey, rarely do teachers provide transitions that are as fluid as the way yoga is taught at Anuttara. When they say the Vinyasa is a dance, they mean it.
You will never get hurt at Anuttara practicing yoga if you listen to the instructors, they know what they are doing.
Going to Anuttara consistently will make you a stronger, better yogi. When you leave your first Advanced Vinyasa class, you know you’ve achieved something great. I don’t know where my practice would be if my foundations were not rooted in Anuttara Vinyasa and Raja yoga, and I say that with honesty and sincerity.
If you have the ability, and are able to go to Anuttara to experience yoga, I would, and if you can make it your yoga shala just as I did, I would say you are very, very lucky. I miss going to Anuttara every day, and I hope one day to complete a teacher training there. (if you have the opportunity, I again, would highly encourage the investment to learn your teaching skills there)
If you haven’t, I would give Anuttara a try. You certainly will not be disappointed.
See you in the...

Read moreI joined Anuttara about 3 months a go. I have dabbled off and on since 2016. My primary purpose in returning was therapeutic. The physical pain had become so much and a belief it yoga could bring relief.
When I entered the building there was an energy I hadn’t experienced at previously with yoga and studios. There is a reverence, peace, calmness, which felt deep to my core. It was intriguing and was one contributing factor to why I am still there.
I hadn’t done “heated” yoga prior and had this fear I was going to pass out, or something bad would happen. No stories to go off, just the story I told myself, lol.
After a regular session of yoga with Michelle and she was great I decided to try out the 7AM yoga class that runs Tuesdays/Thursdays. It was a meditative flow and allowed me to “tip the toe” into hot yoga. And I was not disappointed.
Sarah instructs the class. She kind, warmhearted, and an exceptional teacher. She really cares and you can tell. For someone new, she was the perfect fit. And the time works great with my schedule.
After a few sessions, I had the courage to join Phillips class. I had shared with my friends were ideas going. They knew him for years back and noting but positive things to say about him and what they learned from him while being taught.
Phillip didn’t disappoint. The instruction, since of humor, incorporating spirit, mind and body is transformative. He truly has a unique energy that slows him to touch many lives in different ways. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, you will love Anuttara.
My overall quality of life has improved in part by incorporating my new yoga family into my life.
For someone that was “scared” of the unknown, I have no regrets and no plans of leaving anytime soon!
Thank you Phillip, Sarah, Michelle and all you you keep this place up and running! It really is transforming lives one...
