Gentle yet powerful and compassionate, Svaroopa® Yoga teaches the traditional and familiar yoga poses (asanas) in a different way. It is a therapeutic style of yoga that opens the deeper layers of tension in the body, especially in the chronic tight muscles wrapped along the spine, the core muscles. With the support of carefully placed props, we begin to release the muscles around the tailbone and carry the changes all the way up the spine; with precise alignments and hands-on adjustments, the poses are held longer to allow for the deep spinal openings to be incremental, lasting and totally reliable.
