Anthony Benenati is the founder of City Yoga, recognized across the country as a training center for Anusara Yoga. Anthony is a Senior Certified Anusara Yoga instructor and is known in the yoga community as a skillful practitioner and a teacher's teacher.
His introduction to yoga began after years of competitive weightlifting and a disabling shoulder injury in 1989. In addition to studying with Anusara Founder John Friend for many years, Anthony studies with Professor Carlos Pomeda, one of the leading scholars of the traditions of the Hindu Tantra. Anthony has also studied in the Kundalini, Iyengar and Astanga-based yoga traditions.
Anthony's teaching style is dynamic, non-dogmatic and playful, calling on his many different experiences in life and practices of yoga. Anthony challenges his students to practice in life what they practice on their mat.
