A Gentle Style Yoga

No Straining, No Pain
Gently Releasing Tension in Your Body

Sleep Better, Feel Better, Gain Mental Clarity and Vitality

Svaroopa® yoga is a gentle style yoga.

gentle yoga is helpful for those looking to experience the benefits of yoga When you think of yoga do you picture sitting in the lotus position or straining to attain certain poses?

You may have even been hurt in a yoga class before, or may feel that yoga poses are too challenging for you.

You may be looking for some of the benefits of yoga, but you are in pain and not ready to challenge your body yet.

Svaroopa® yoga is a style that loves your body. It is easy and gentle. Even its name is a Sanskrit word meaning, "the bliss of your own being."

More attention is paid to aligning your body using compassionate adjustments instead of straining. You release your body instead of forcing it into a pose that is uncomfortable.

Yoga with Leslie has enhanced the quality of my life - more than any other endeavor. I have tried several other types of yoga and Pilates. I feel such a sense of calm and inner peace after a session that it helps me serenely take on all of the other aspects of my life as ER physician, wife and mother of four teens and young adults. With regular practice, I am able to lose the muscle tension in my back and neck. It feels so good. I am so grateful to have fallen into this practice. Thank you Leslie. - Suzanne-Crater Craig, MD, Mandeville, LA
