Svaroopa® Yoga is a powerfully transformative practice that is simple and amazingly effective. Svaroopa® Yoga is technique for opening your body to find your SELF. It utilizes a radically different approach than most modern styles of yoga. This style of yoga creates a core opening by releasing the tensions in the deepest layers of your body. This happens without sweat or strain because Svaroopa® Yoga is not exercise, but a scientific maximization of the body’s natural capacities. It begins with the release of the muscles connected to your tailbone, the pivot point of your body. With enough release in your tailbone, your whole body will realign from the inside out. The changes will automatically extend down your legs through your hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Simultaneously, a domino effect of release will climb your spine through your sacrum, waist, rib cage, shoulders, neck and skull. This spinal release opens more space for the intervertebral discs and delicate nerve roots that command every muscle, bone, artery, organ, and gland in your body. This opening also lifts mechanical compression off your internal organs, improving their functioning. With less tension throughout your body, your vital systems find their natural balance. Continuing Group Classes are accessible to all: new or experienced yogis, if your body is in great shape or physically challenged, this yoga works for everyone. Each class includes guided relaxation, breathing, and poses with precise alignments and utilization of props to comfortably support your body, and hands-on adjustments. Lessons follow themes targeting specific goals while opening the spine from the tailbone through the sacrum, waist, and rib cage.
