In the Words of a Former Director
"Some of my most cherished memories come from serving on the Anusara Board. It was a chance to shape the future of this beautiful yoga tradition, to give back, and to grow—in every sense.
I gained skills in areas like communications and leadership, formed global friendships, and contributed to lasting projects like the Anusara Marga.
If you're looking for a way to serve, grow, and connect—this is it."
— Laura Casini, Former Board Member
