What Is
Svaroopa Yoga:
Svaroopa yoga is a unique style of hatha yoga that helps release tension
in the deepest layers of the body. Core tensions begin in the muscles
around the base of the spine and then negatively affect the whole
body. Svaroopa yoga releases these core tensions, beginning with the
tailbone and hips, and then carrying the changes through the rest
of the spine, the rib cage, neck, and shoulders. As the spinal tension
releases, the beneficial effects radiate |
|
throughout
the entire body. The result is a sense of ease, relief, and peace.
Your body becomes supple and feels more alive.
What's Special About Svaroopa Yoga:
Svaroopa yoga works for every body. You do not have to be like the
slim, loose-limbed models that typically adorn magazine articles about
yoga. You can be yourself. |
One
of the Magic 4 poses.
|
With the use of props such as chairs, blocks, and blankets, your teacher
customizes the yoga poses (asanas) to fit the unique needs of every
body in the class instead of forcing all students to fit (and squirm)
identically into the same pose.
Students who attend The Centered Place Svaroopa yoga classes are taught
the Magic 4, which consists of four simple yoga asanas that you can
practice easily at home.
|
Home practice gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself between
classes. Home practice also extends the benefits of the classes through
the week and prepares
you for deeper results in the next class.
The Magic 4 and the
many other asanas taught in Svaroopa yoga classes bring profound changes
to the body and mind and can bring transformation for personal growth.

More than just exercise:
Svaroopa yoga is a consciousness-oriented yoga that also produces
healing and transformation.
The emphasis of Svaroopa
yoga is your inner experience, your inner opening. This inner opening
is what brings you greater fitness and health. As stated in an article
in Yoga International magazine (now the
Yoga & Joyful Living magazine), Svaroopa yoga dissolves
"the tensions that inhibit your body's natural functioning and
inherent healing |

later, I am still pain free practicing yoga."

capacity. The release
of the inner blocks allows you to live in an inner ease, in your
body and in your self, that is your birthright."
Svaroopa yoga gives you all the benefits of aerobics and much more.
Release of tension significantly improves circulation, and this
improves the health of your heart. Physical release facilitates
easier, deeper breathing. This and the slower, deeper breathing
practice learned in classes, help increase oxygen intake. Thus,
yoga is truly aerobic ("involving, utilizing, or increasing
oxygen consumption for metabolic processes in the body" ~ from
the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary definition of aerobic). However,
unlike aerobics, yoga practice increases your energy rather than
depleting it.
Most important, yoga
improves concentration while calming your mind. What better physical
fitness is there than that which comes with mental fitness?
