SvaroopaŽ Yoga in Portland



Remarkably Delicious, Incredibily Powerful and Completely Different

What makes Svaroopa so different

1. We don't teach stretching, over-stretching your muscles will create overstretched ligaments & therefore unstable joints. We teach you how to release the muscle tension, without stretching.

2. We aren't teaching exercise. There are plenty of yoga practices that can be practiced in lieu of exercise. The goal of a Svaroopa Yoga practice is not to look a certain way, or to create a body that looks "fit". On a physical level you will be learning how to decompress, how to release tension in your body/mind, how to un-contract (a new word I just made up).

3. You will learn "Embodyment" - how to be present in your own body. This is method of using mostly simple poses, precise alignment along with propping and individual attention, will teach you a whole new way to live, move, think and feel.



Top Reasons people try Svaroopa

1. You've tried other classes, at the gym or other studios which may/may not suit you. You are still on the search for a class that thrills you.

2. Pain and stress relief.

3. You have a friend who is very enthusiastic about Svaroopa & has mentioned how different/unique it is. They want to share their experience with you because they love it so much.


Top reasons people continue

1. You feel better. Fewer aches and pains & the practice is easy to practice at home

2. Your mind is more relaxed, less reactive.

3. Transformation - you will change. People who aren't interested in getting changes are not inclined to do this practice.
