“Discover a radical new way to take care of yourself. Create your own healing,
transformation and illumination. Svaroopa® yoga focuses on "unraveling the
deep-seated layers of spinal tension in your body, to create healing and
personal transformation, while opening you to an illuminative inner experience
of your own essence." The secret key to this deeper practice is in its support. In
Svaroopa® yoga class we use precise angles, soft blankets as props, and
hands on personalized adjustments so the body opens gently, yet deeply from
the inside out. This non-athletic, supported practice of yoga helps the process
of your yoga practice and allows you to experience the true therapeutic benefits
of asanas (yoga poses), called "core opening." These benefits are far beyond
physical! Core opening helps dissolve physical and mental blockages (pain,
discomfort, old mental patterns, etc…). Svaroopa® yoga is very approachable
and beneficial for new students and people with physical limitations as well as
experienced yogi to experience a powerful & authentic yoga practice. (If you
have any physical limitations, please contact Ryoko before participating in
group classes).
