About Jayendra Hanley

Thirty years ago, I bought a book about hatha yoga, and I have been devoted to this practice ever since. A couple of years later, I met Swami Muktananda, and ever since then, I have been a student of his and his beloved successor, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. Their grace is the highest gift, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I met John Friend in 1993 and discovered a whole new paradigm for practicing hatha yoga. John taught me that yoga can be fun. At its highest, it is a joyful expression of a full heart. In 2001 I received certification to teach Anusara Yoga.

Three years ago, I moved to Madrid, and it is my great fortune to visit many places around Europe to offer workshops, Immersions, and teacher trainings in Anusara Yoga.

Recently, I moved to Holland where people seem very open to Anusara Yoga. I feel so blessed to have this amazing hatha yoga system as the foundation for teaching, with its inspiring philosophy, brilliant technique, and heart-opening community of students all over the world.
