Svaroopa® Yoga is a technique for opening your body to find
your Self . It has a radically different approach than most modern
styles of yoga and can give you a new way to think about asana practice.
The practice creates a core opening by releasing the tensions in
the deepest layers of your body. Dissolving these tensions allows
you to live with ease, both in your body and in your deeper self.
That ease is your birthright. This all happens without sweat or
strain because Svaroopa® Yoga is not exercise but a scientific
maximization of the body’s natural capacities. When practicing
Svaroopa® Yoga, we delve into our body as if opening a precious
gift carefully wrapped in many layers.
What can I expect from a yoga class?
You can expect to lie
down on some warm and cozy blankets with your legs extended over
a blanket roll to ensure your back is well supported and flat on
the floor. Experience a guided awareness that will help you let
go of the day’s events and become present in the body. You
will then be guided into Ujjayi Pranayama, a breathing technique
that will help you to enter the deep consciousness of self, while
allowing the body to rest & heal as you focus your mind on the
sound of the breath. Ujjayi is followed by a series of very specific
poses in precise alignment to release core tensions in the spin
Starting at the tailbone and sequencing the release up the spine.
What is the difference between the levels of classes?
Every class has a specific theme. For example, in the Daily Practice
Theme you will learn very gentle poses in a simple sequence that
will open the body and give you the tools for a home practice. You
will learn the magic 4 poses in this theme. It is recommended that
you do the magic 4 daily to sustain the opening of the body. The
Lower Spinal Release Theme – Using different angles of the
legs to release tensions in the muscles spanning from the legs through
the hips and into the lower spine, Spinal Flexibility Theme- Use
specific poses to identify areas of the spine that are tight.
There are twelve themes in all, each theme building on the prior
one, opening and releasing layers of tension in the body while deepening
the experience.
