Beginning Yoga

An Easy, Gentle Yoga Practice for Everyone
No Matter Their Level of Fitness

Easy, gentle Svaroopa® yoga is perfect for beginning yoga.

If you are new to yoga, the bending and stretching of other forms of yoga can be quite challenging. With Svaroopa® yoga you will get all of the benefits of yoga without any pain or stress on your body. It is perfect for beginners, for continuing students or people with mild to moderate pain. Blocks, blankets and even chairs are used as needed to ease into the poses.

Svaroopa® yoga is different from other forms of yoga in that instead of stretching into the various poses, you will learn to release your body into the poses. Starting with the tailbone, and working up the spine, you will gently release the deeply held tensions in your lower spine moving through your shoulders, head and neck.

As your spinal tensions release:

  • space is created for your internal organs,
  • aches and pains are alleviated,
  • stress is reduced & your mind is quieted,
  • strength and flexibility are improved
  • your vitality and mental clarity are increased.

Gentle, Yet Powerful
Experience the Transformation
Of Your Body, Mind and Spirit

Svaroopa® yoga is an ancient and powerful practice that benefits your body, your mind and your spirit. It will change your life.

As your spinal tensions release, changes will occur within, mentally, physically and spiritually. You will begin to experience inner peace, joy, awareness, insight and much more.

Everyone holds tensions in their body, especially the spinal column. These tensions were instilled in you since childhood. You cannot release these tensions and still remain the person you are right now.

Every aspect of your life will benefit from this freedom.

I Was Never the Same
You Will Never Be the Same
What You Will Gain From Svaroopa® yoga
Will Astound You

I lived my life in pain for over 20 years, back pain, neck pain, muscle spasms and severe migraines. Various therapists and physicians had no explanation for my pain. I was actually put into traction a few times to ease the spasms. I was very unhappy and depressed living in this condition.

My life completely turned around when I decided to take action for myself. I owned my pain and in my search I found Svaroopa® yoga.

After a Core Opening Weekend with Svaroopa's founder, Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati, I had a feeling of relief and openess in my body I'd never felt before. I took her videotape home and practiced every morning. I wanted to get physically better, but I received benefits I never expected:

  • I felt more confidence to do and accomplish things I'd never done before, like speaking in public.
  • I found an inner peace and serenity that carried through to all of the stresses in modern daily life.
  • I found my calling in life: to teach this to others and help them experience the benefits for themselves.

When you come to my studio, you will find that I am conscientious about watching for proper alignment. As a fully licensed RN, I am also very careful that my students don't go too far, too fast and hurt themselves.

You don't need to become a yoga master overnight. You will still find great benefits in beginning yoga!
