Done other styles of yoga - So you've done the 'gym' yoga classes, or you've done 'power yoga' or Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Anusara, Bikram or one of the many different styles of yoga and you may find you like all of them or you may like some more than others. The thing is, you haven't found one that truly resonates with you on a level that inspires you to be consistant, to do a home practice or to dive in a little deeper in the the teachings of yoga. You may find that Svaroopa gives you more.

Injury recovery - this practice is exceptional at giving you tools for your recovery process. Since the poses are easy and supported, you will get much benefit from a little gentle yoga practice.

Peace of mind - The goal of yoga is help with this.

Never done yoga/not much experience doing yoga - no problem. We have newcomers classes for you to try that are free. Then we have a 4 week series that will teach you the core poses of the practice. We start out with easy, gentle poses and slowly incorporate other poses into the classes.

Heard from a friend - what a gift! They must love you very much indeed! Many Svaroopa students are so excited about what they've learned and what they've experienced as a result of Svaroopa Yoga, they simply can't help but share with you this wonderful discovery! You are blessed indeed.

Saw an ad in a Yoga Magazine -
I've been told that it's coming very soon.....we want to share this amazing practice with the community.

Shavasana - Svaroopa Yoga
Shavasana
Class Description

Each class starts out in Shavasana (picture on the right) using blankets to support your legs so that your spine can rest flat along the floor. When you are set up in this manner the muscles in your spine will begin to relax and soften and you will immediatly feel relief. From Shavasana we will do a guided awareness through the entire body, followed by an simple but powerful breathing practice. After the breathing practice we will go through a series of poses designed to release the tension in the spinal muslces.

Some people think of yoga as a form of exercise or stretching, however this is not what we are attempting to create in this practice. The idea is simple, to release tension and decompress the spine, allowing the energy to flow unimpeded by tension and misalignment. Of course there's much more to it than that, so I encourge you to treat yourself to a class or a private session or whatever works into your schedule.
