Wendy Borger / Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor
Studio Owner / Director


To the many luminous teachers, scholars and practitioners who have blessed me with their teachings, I bow down in gratitude. I am eternally grateful to John Friend, who has always been both friend and sage; and who graciously continues to guide, challenge and support me both on and off the mat. The ever expanding Grace expressed and encoded as Anusara Yoga is an accessible yet esoteric method of hatha yoga supported by the philosophy of Shiva Shakti Tantra. The synergy of it’s brilliant alignment principles and blissful life philosophy creates an endless invitation for each of us to explore and discover our highest potential, our Divine true nature. This is the great task we are entrusted with both as Anusara teachers and practitioners. It is my great honor to be a Certified Anusara Yoga Teacher and to serve on the Anusara Certification Committee as mentor to those pursing this highly regarded teacher designation. In addition to my ten years of ongoing study with John Friend, I am currently in my clinical year of Ayurvedic study at the California College of Ayurveda, having completed the AHE (Ayurvedic Health Educator) program , Ayurvedic body therapies and panchakarma training. This endeavor has become a potent adjunct to the therapeutic aspects of my yoga studies; and has provided a wonderful skill set for living and teaching healthy, empowered and sacred practices. My ongoing intention for both Spandarama and Rasa, our juice bar and Ayurvedic center is to create a place for practice, community, access, devotion, and healing; where like-minded souls can converge and support one another in the Great Journey. I endlessly thank my beloved, Halid...for all he has given, for all that he is.
