| Om Namah Shivaya Gurave Satchidananda Murtaye Nishprapanchaya Shantaya Niralambaya Tejase Om |
| I bow to the intrinsic goodness within myself, which is the true teacher. This essence inside takes the form of truth, consciousness, and bliss. Always present and full of peace, this essence inside is completely free, and sparkles with a divine luster. |

The Anusara Invocation:
This ancient Sanskrit invocation is often used in the beginning of Anusara yoga classes
and workshops. It is sets the highest intention for practice, invoking the best part of
ourselves and what we wish to align with in the highest.
