Svaroopa® yoga's techniques work with the asanas (poses) in a way that is both precise and compassionate. Every class emphasizes the opening of the core tensions in the body by beginning at the tailbone and progressing through each area of the spine. Each class integrates the foundational principles of asana, anatomy, and yoga philosophy, and emphasizes the development of transcendent inner experience, which is called “svaroopa” by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
Students of Svaroopa® yoga learn different ways of doing familiar asanas, and also learn additional asanas that they may have never seen before. This yoga practice is based on relaxation and comfort. The asanas are deeply effective and create powerful experiences of healing and transformation.
Embodyment®
is a hands-on healing modality utilizing the power of
awareness as a catalyst to healing energy. This technique is based on the
principles of Svaroopa® Yoga. Embodyment works by releasing core tensions
in the body, thus facilitating one's own natural ability to heal.
A deep, yet gentle method, Embodyment is a powerful tool for deep
healing on all levels. Private sessions are $65.00/hr.
