    What is Svaroopa® Yoga?

    What is Svaroopa® Yoga?
    Svaroopa® Yoga is a deeply therapeutic style of yoga that is highly approachable for the skeptical new student, and revolutionary for the seasoned yogi. It is radically different from any other style of yoga or exercise program. * With the use of props, precision alignments and hands-on adjustments the poses reach past the deceptive flexibility of the hip joints and release the tensions in the deepest muscles along the spine.”

    Svaroopa® yoga is an easy, gentle, safe and highly effective form of Hatha Yoga.  Each class includes postures (asana),   breath work (pranayama) and guided relaxation to release and unravel tensions in the spinal muscles.   Unlike other styles of Hatha Yoga and exercise, Svaroopa® yoga works with the body in a radically different way.  When the tight muscles release, your spine can relax and lengthen - decompressing your spine and releasing the tensions that cause pain.  The poses open you up from the inside-out,  so Svaroopa® yoga is considered “core-opening” ~ a healing style of yoga. 
    You will notice the benefits in your first class!
    Some of the many benefits of Svaroopa yoga you may experience are: 
    • deep relaxation
    •  mental clarity
    •  renewed energy
    •  internal centering
    • healing on many levels
     You may also benefit from physical improvements including:
    • flexibility and circulation
    • hormonal balance
    • improved digestion
    •  nervous system and immune functions
    • reduced pain
    •  easier and more effective breathing
      This style of yoga is especially beneficial for those experiencing:
    • chronic back pain 
    • discomfort including sciatica, lower back pain and scoliosis.
    A typical class begins and ends with a guided awareness of the body in a relaxation pose called “shavasana”.  This is followed by a series of postures or poses using props (thick blankets or chairs to support the body as needed).   The props offer the needed support to allow the body to release deeply-held tension in tight muscles.  Think of this as “unraveling” the  deep-seated layers of tension you hold inside.
