Based on a significantly different paradigm in yoga poses, the practice of this unique style is both physical and more than physical. In Svaroopa® yoga we specialize in ‘core opening,’ spinal decompression, through releasing the tensions in the layers of muscles wrapped around your spine.

Using precise alignments to create an inner opening from tail to top, this style redefines strength, giving you stamina and vitality through releasing deep tensions and recapturing your essential aliveness. This yoga is precise and compassionate at the same time, using props such as blankets and blocks to meet your body where it is. Svaroopa® yoga is body friendly, yoga that anyone can do regardless of experience or fitness level. Not exercise, Yoga International describes it this way: “Svaroopa® Yoga is a scientific maximization of your body’s capacity, dissolving the tensions that inhibit your body’s natural functioning and inherent healing capacity.”

This four-week course is experiential; you will learn the ‘Magic Four’ poses that open your spine from tail to top, and be able to bring the practice home with you, finding ease of movement and bliss.
