About Us

Infinite Bliss Yoga, in Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood, celebrated its sixth anniversary on February 4, 2008.

At Infinite Bliss, the focus is on the kula, Sanskrit for 'community of the heart.' The kula is the community of your choice, your own magnetic qualities, and the way you feel at home with the company you keep. It is at the same time all the ways that you keep company with your self. Your access to the kula of you and the outside kula make life rich, meaningful, and infinitely blissful.

Our building is called the Schuster building at the busy intersection of Bardstown Road and Eastern Parkway. Our building is brick and has a Q-Doba, a Smoothie King, and Fleet Feet. Our door is a little hard to spot, but it is facing Bardstown Road next to the Smoothie King with a little yellow mailbox. We are upstairs!

Types of Classes

While there are many types of yoga these days, all of our classes fall under the umbrella term, Hatha. Here are a couple of terms which we may use to describe our classes:

Anusara
founded by John Friend, is a unique approach to hatha yoga where the spirit of the HEART powerfully blends with the precision of biomechanical ALIGNMENT and balanced energetic ACTION in the performance of asanas (yoga postures).

The word "anusara" originates from a line in the Tantric text called the Kularnava Tantra, "shaktipata-anusarena shishyonugraham arhati", which means: by entering the current of Divine Shakti's descent into the heart, the true disciple becomes capable of receiving grace. Anusara literally means to be in the flow. It is the current of the Divine, to flow with Grace. The philosophical basis of Anusara, as elucidated by Dr. Douglas Brooks, is called Rajanaka Yoga.

Vinyasa
This Sanskrit word has several meanings. The most common usage is to
define a specific linking sequence (based on the sun salutation --
chaturanga/up dog/down dog) that is coordinated with the breath and gets you from pose to pose. The practice becomes a flow timed to the
breath instead of just a series of discrete postures. The vinyasa gives
rhythm to the practice, keeps the heat building, builds upper body
strength and acts as a counterpose to stretch the legs and re-set the
spine to neutral for the next sequence.

Here’s what Yoga Journal said about Infinite Bliss in their Yoga Tour column:

Infinite Bliss Yoga crouches behind a busy burrito joint on Bardstown Road, Louisville's Haight-Ashbury, lined with coffee shops, used book and natural food stores, and tattoo parlors. When studio owner Dara Myers first stumbled on the locale, it was a dark, dank video arcade. Her vision and lots of elbow grease have transformed the hovel into a sacred space warmed by peach walls and natural light from the huge bay windows.
