Svaroopa® Yoga: The Bliss of Your True Nature - All Levels Welcome. Svaroopa Yoga classes begin with a guided awareness while lying in Shavasana ,Yoga's Relaxation Pose, and Pranayama (breathing practice). The classes progress into a very gentle and well supported practice of asana (yoga poses). The practice of Saroopa Yoga is a "core opening" practice which opens and releases the built up tensions held along the muscles of the spine. Using blankets and props for support, your body settles and softens into each pose . As the body releases the habitual physical and mental tension patterns, the mind becomes still and steady... uncovering the essence of your true nature. Svaroopa® yoga offers a significantly different paradigm in yoga poses. Our practice is both physical and more than physical. We specialize in the inner opening. Gentle yoga postures and sequences along with deep relaxation methods return you to the place in yourself of wholeness and natural well-being. This opens up conscious access to the ever–expanding inner realms of your own being. Rather than using hatha yoga as a sophisticated form of exercise, Svaroopa® yoga pursues the understanding of the deeper purposes of yoga: the understanding of your own essential nature. www.svaroopayoga.org |
